A nearly 50-acre Boulder County compound wrapped around a 16.6-acre spring-fed lake has quietly slid onto the market with an asking price of about $15.8 million. The four-parcel spread, just west of Longmont, stitches together a lakeside main house, barn, and private water rights into one secluded package. For Front Range buyers chasing privacy and on-site recreation, it is being pitched as a rare catch.
Listing details and price
According to Redfin, the property is listed at $15,750,000 and comes in just under 50 acres across four adjacent parcels, centered on a 16.6-acre spring-fed lake. The public listing also cites ownership of 1.36 shares of the Palmerton Ditch, a water-rights asset that supports irrigation on the land and the lake itself. Those particulars match the marketing materials that accompany the offering and help explain the asking price.
House, outbuildings and buildable shoreline
The main residence comes in at roughly 8,124 square feet and sits among formal gardens, a private pool and a separate pool house, per the Douglas Elliman listing. Beyond the main house, the property includes a multifunctional barn that incorporates an office, kitchen and equestrian stalls, along with an adjacent hay-farmed parcel that gives future owners room to maneuver on layout or use.
Marketing copy also points to a designated 6,500-square-foot buildable envelope right at the lake edge that is reserved for a potential second shoreline home. For a buyer thinking of a multi-generational compound or guest retreat, that piece of the puzzle is being framed as a key part of the long-term value.
Water, recreation and rights
Coverage in the Denver Business Journal notes that owners would be able to boat, swim and fish on the spring-fed lake, which the marketing materials describe as producing trophy-level catches. Between the direct lake frontage, an auxiliary pond and the Palmerton Ditch shares, the water profile is central to how the estate is positioned and priced.
For buyers who prioritize private water access within striking distance of Boulder, the combination of recreation-ready shoreline and established rights is being cast as unusually complete for the area.
Why this listing is uncommon
Privately held lakes of this size are hard to come by along the Front Range, and true lakefront acreage in Boulder County rarely shows up in public listings. Aggregated land listings and market data indicate that only a handful of genuine lakefront parcels are available in the county at any given time, which helps explain the premium baked into this offering. As market watchers note, the pairing of limited supply and immediate recreational use is not something that surfaces often locally, per Land.com.
Who’s marketing the property
The listing is being handled by agent Lucy Conklin, who is named on multiple public MLS distributions tied to the property, according to Redfin. Online listing pages feature extensive photo galleries and tour information and specify that showings are by appointment only. Prospective buyers and their agents are funneling inquiries through the MLS-linked portals.
With private water, existing structures, and nearly 50 acres of tucked-away acreage still within reach of Boulder, the Rozena compound is positioned to attract both local and out-of-area shoppers looking for a standout Front Range estate. The listing is new to the market, so anyone curious about the full scope of the property is directed to the public listing pages for visuals and tour details.
