A property of this scale and type in Boulder County is well suited to buyers who:
- Own horses or plan to operate a small equestrian facility
- Want significant acreage and privacy while remaining close to Lafayette, Erie, Louisville, and the greater Boulder area
- Value water rights and agricultural zoning as part of a long-term land investment

What to Expect During a Property Tour
Touring an equestrian estate is a different experience than touring a typical residential property, and buyers should plan for extra time to walk the acreage in addition to the home itself. When you tour 11098 Jasper Road with The Bernardi Group, we recommend planning to see:
- The barn and outbuildings. With stalls for 3 or more horses, a corral, pasture, arena, tack room, loafing shed, and hay storage building, it is worth walking the full footprint of the equestrian facilities before making a decision.
- The Cottonwood Ditch and irrigation infrastructure. Since 45 shares of water rights are included, understanding how water is delivered across the property is an important part of evaluating this listing.
- The home's orientation and views. With the house and lot facing west, the property offers back-range and snow-capped mountain views along with foothills and plains views, worth experiencing at different times of day.
- Fencing and containment. The fully enclosed fenced area is a key feature for buyers planning to keep horses or other livestock on the property immediately after purchase.
Comparing Equestrian Properties in Boulder County
Large-acreage equestrian properties are uncommon in Boulder County, where much of the land closer to the city of Boulder itself is protected open space or built out with residential subdivisions. Properties like 11098 Jasper Road, located in the unincorporated county near Lafayette and Erie, represent one of the few remaining opportunities to purchase this scale of agricultural and equestrian land within the county.
Buyers comparing this listing to other options should consider not just acreage and price, but also water rights, since properties with established ditch shares like the Cottonwood Ditch carry long-term value that is not always available with newer or smaller equestrian listings. The Bernardi Group can help you understand how this property compares to other equestrian and farm and ranch listings across Boulder County.
How The Bernardi Group Can Help
Buying a farm and ranch property involves considerations that go beyond a typical residential purchase. The Bernardi Group can help you:
- Coordinate a full property tour, including the home, barn, pastures, and water infrastructure
- Compare this listing against other equestrian and acreage properties in Boulder County
- Connect you with water rights attorneys, agricultural lenders, or other specialists as needed
- Guide you through the offer and closing process for a farm and ranch transaction
As with all real estate transactions, The Bernardi Group does not provide legal, tax, financial, or agricultural advice. Given the complexity of water rights and agricultural zoning tied to this property, we strongly recommend consulting a qualified water rights attorney and, if applicable, an agricultural or equine specialist, in addition to working with your Realtor throughout the transaction.
