Moreover, it caters to homeowners seeking a tranquil retreat while balancing privacy amid cherished landmarks and bustling trails.

The Boulder house was purchased sight unseen online by a California couple with two young children. Upon arrival they discovered an aesthetically neglected building which, not long after, was struck by lightning which caused a fire.
