Lake Valley Estates is a private, amenity-rich community on the north side of Boulder built around lake access, and 4061 Spy Glass Lane, now listed at $2,490,000, puts a spacious 4 bedroom home just steps from the water.
If you have been searching for a Boulder home for sale with room to spread out, direct access to a private lake, and a neighborhood built for an active, outdoor-oriented lifestyle, this newly listed property in the Lake Valley Estates subdivision deserves a close look. The Bernardi Group is presenting this listing to buyers looking for both the space of a custom-built home and the lifestyle of a true lake community, all within the Boulder, Colorado real estate market.

Why Lake Valley Estates Stands Out in the Boulder Real Estate Market
What separates this listing from other Boulder homes for sale is the surrounding community. Lake Valley Estates is one of the few neighborhoods in the greater Boulder area built directly around private lake access, and residents can walk out the back gate to the water.
Lifestyle amenities available to residents include:
- Open-water swimming and paddleboarding directly on the community lake
- Private swim docks
- Trail access at multiple points throughout the neighborhood, within roughly a quarter mile of most homes
- A neighborhood golf club
- Tennis and pickleball courts
- Pocket parks and open space wrapping much of the community
For buyers who want an active, outdoor lifestyle without leaving their own neighborhood, this combination is difficult to find elsewhere in the Boulder, Colorado market. The community's homeowners association fee also covers access to these shared recreational amenities, an important factor for buyers comparing total cost of ownership across similar Boulder properties.
Location and Schools
The property falls within the St. Vrain Valley School District (RE-1J), with Blue Mountain Elementary, Altona Middle School, and Silver Creek High School serving the area. Buyers should always confirm current school assignments directly with the district, as boundaries can shift from year to year.
The home sits on a paved county road with sidewalks and street lighting, and the lot faces south, offering foothills views from the property.
What Buyers Should Know About the Layout
The home's design spreads living space across three levels, giving families and multigenerational households room to spread out. With 1,779 square feet on the main level and another 1,510 square feet upstairs, there is space for formal living and dining areas, a well-proportioned kitchen, and bedrooms that do not compete for square footage. The basement level adds 1,716 additional square feet, which buyers can evaluate for its potential as a media room, home gym, or additional guest suite, depending on personal needs and any required improvements.
The primary bedroom is located on the upper level and measures 26 feet by 18 feet, offering a generously sized retreat away from the main living areas. Because layouts like this can vary in how they feel in person compared to on paper, The Bernardi Group always recommends touring a home before making a final decision, paying attention to natural light, flow between rooms, and how the outdoor space is oriented relative to the interior.
What to Expect When Touring This Home
When you tour 4061 Spy Glass Lane with The Bernardi Group, we recommend paying attention to a few details that matter most to buyers considering Lake Valley Estates:
- The walk to the lake gate. Since the community's defining feature is walkable lake access, take the time to walk the actual route from the home to the back gate and the water.
- Storage and garage space. The attached 3-car garage offers 675 square feet, worth evaluating against your vehicles, bikes, paddleboards, and other outdoor gear common among Lake Valley Estates residents.
- Outdoor living space. The property includes a balcony, patio, and deck, giving you multiple options for outdoor entertaining depending on the time of day and season.
- Views and orientation. With the lot facing south and foothills views noted in the listing, consider how sunlight moves through the home across different rooms and times of day.
