About 135 Poorman Rd
Step through the front door to breathtaking Continental Divide views stretching in every direction. Ideally positioned just 7 minutes from downtown Boulder, this architecturally masterful passive solar home basks in full sun and seamlessly blends indoor and outdoor living through expansive windows and wraparound decks. The architect-designed eave system shades the south-facing windows in summer while maximizing solar heat gain in winter, and a Trombe wall with mechanical air circulation keeps the home naturally efficient year-round. The chef's kitchen is built for serious entertaining, while the grand primary suite features a luxurious 6-piece bath. A classic wood-burning fireplace anchors the living space for cozy evenings at home. The finished basement offers a cool retreat, an indoor cultivation area, and a spa-inspired bath with steam room and second shower. A private stone patio off the guest bedroom adds another layer of outdoor living. The studio is a standout space - featuring custom cabinetry, a catwalk designed for full window access, and a closet with existing water lines that could easily be converted to a darkroom or additional bath. The oversized 2-car garage goes well beyond parking, complete with an ingenious temperature-controlled wine room cooled naturally by well water circulation, a cedar closet, and additional attic storage - a rare combination of function and luxury seldom found at this level. Outside, the property is nothing short of extraordinary - a private nature trail winds through the grounds, thoughtfully built with accessibility in mind, while a zip line, ninja course, and treehouse offer endless outdoor adventure for the young and young at heart. Nestled in coveted Sunshine Canyon - known for its privacy, abundant sunshine, and unbeatable proximity to Boulder - this is a rare offering for the discerning buyer who appreciates inspired design, self-sufficient living, and a home that truly has it all.
