A Home with a Separate Guest Suite and Expansive Views on 18 Acres
Room for Livestock, a Garden, and Guests, Just Outside Lyons
Situated on 18 beautiful acres above Lyons, 1050 Sunrise offers wide-ranging views in every direction and a setting that balances privacy with usable acreage.
From the property, the views are truly awe-inspiring in every direction. Longs Peak is visible to the west, with Front Range views stretching toward Longmont to the east. South St. Vrain Canyon runs to the south, and Blue Mountain rises to the north. The view shifts with the seasons and from day to night.
The location feels like a world apart, yet Lyons is about ten minutes down the hill.
A House, Updated with Intention
The main home has been updated over time, with improvements that are visible throughout.
Flooring has been replaced, and the kitchen and bathrooms have been refreshed. Custom woodwork runs through parts of the home, adding warmth without changing its character. Large windows bring in natural light and frame the surrounding foothills.

The layout includes two living areas, a formal dining room, and a kitchen that connects directly to the main spaces. It is a layout that holds up whether it is a quiet morning or a house full of people.

A large deck runs along the view side of the home. It is where most evenings land, whether that is sunset or later, when the sky clears and the light drops out of the hills. The hot tub is positioned to take advantage of both.
A Separate Studio or Mother-in-law Suite

Above the second oversized garage, a newer studio ADU provides a fully independent second living space for extended family, guests or potential rental income.
It sits just far enough from the main house to give guests their own space without feeling removed from the property.

The elevation changes the perspective. You are looking out across the hills, not at them, and the light holds a little longer here in the evenings and the views are some of the best in the region.
There is enough room to spread out without it feeling oversized. A place to sit for a while or put on a movie and stay in for the night.
The high quality kitchenette adds convenience for longer stays.
It is well suited for guests, though it also opens the door to rental income.
Land, Outbuildings, and Setting
The land is what sets this property apart. The 18 acres include a mix of open ground and rolling terrain that can be used for livestock, gardening, or other day to day needs.
The house is positioned for the views, but the land is more usable than what you usually see with a hillside property.
There are approximately three fenced acres already in place, along with an insulated barn and a 12x14 workshop with a loft. These structures give the property a working setup for animals, storage, or small projects.

Upslope from the studio, a rock outcropping sits among native shrubs and aspens, with a small water feature tucked into the landscape. Wildlife moves through regularly, adding a distinct sense of Colorado to the experience of living here.
Space and Storage
In addition to the attached two-car garage, the property includes a large detached garage with 220V power.
The scale of the detached garage makes a difference. It is not just for parking. It gives you room for equipment, tools, or ongoing projects without having to work around your daily space.
There is also a separate outdoor shed that adds additional storage for tools, equipment, or seasonal use.
Just Outside Lyons
The property sits a short drive above Lyons, in an area known for its privacy and quiet setting.
It is close enough to town for a board game at happy hour at Lyons Locale or tacos at Mojo, without the traffic or density that comes with being in the center of it.
Boulder and Longmont are both within a short drive, and Rocky Mountain National Park is close enough for an early start or an afternoon trip.
