Luxury Mountain Living
Lion Point
Set among ancient Ponderosa Pines — including one that has stood for a thousand years — sculptural rock formations, and sweeping south-facing views just minutes from Pearl Street, Lion Point is one of Boulder's most extraordinary private compounds. A place where the feeling of complete mountain seclusion coexists with immediate access to world-class dining, trails, culture, and city life.
The architecture is intentional and unhurried: clean contemporary lines, walls of triple-pane European glass, and seamless indoor-outdoor living that frames the landscape from nearly every principal room. Black arches of Shou Sugi Ban Ponderosa Pine mark the entry. Heated marble floors, Mule marble counters, and a full suite of Thermador appliances define the interiors. The result is not a home that competes with nature, but one that disappears into it — refined in every detail, quiet in its confidence.
The compound unfolds across nearly 6,000 finished square feet: a seven-bedroom main residence spanning four levels with a cinema, gym, wine cellar, and great room of exceptional scale, and a fully appointed guest house with its own systems and living green roof above a three-car garage. Outside, an emerald lap pool sits suspended against the canyon alongside a bespoke copper hot tub hand-crafted by artisans — both set within a landscape conceived by Marpa Landscape Architecture to honor the character of the site rather than alter it.
The technology throughout operates as it should in a home of this caliber: invisibly. Savant whole-home automation manages climate, lighting, audio, and security from anywhere in the world. Passivhaus-inspired construction — superinsulated walls, airtight building envelope, solar array, radiant heated ceilings and floors, and whole-home energy recovery ventilation — places Lion Point among fewer than 120,000 homes on earth built to this standard, delivering exceptional performance at roughly 60% of the operating cost of comparable conventional construction.
And then there is the moment Boulder is approaching. In 2027, the Sundance Film Festival relocates permanently to Boulder — a cultural inflection point that will reshape this market the way similar arrivals transformed Jackson Hole, Telluride, and Park City before them. Lion Point is the rare property positioned to benefit from what is coming, available now, before the world catches up.
Pearl Street is ten minutes away. Denver is forty-five. Vail is ninety. This is Boulder at its most elevated: privacy without isolation, architecture without excess, nature without compromise.Address: 228 Lion Point, Boulder, CO 80302 Offered At: $9,950,000 Lot: 14.77 Private Acres | Built 2015 Main Residence: 7 Bed | 5 Bath | 4,919 Sq Ft Guest House + Garage: 3-Car Garage | Green Roof Total Finished: 5,926 Sq Ft Pool: Lap Pool + Artisan Copper Hot Tub Automation: Savant Whole-Home System Appliances: Full Thermador SuiteAccess: 10 Min Pearl Street | 45 Min Denver | 60 Min DIA | 90 Min Vail
The standard
Engineered to a discipline practiced by fewer than 120,000 homes on earth.
Lion Point was designed with German Passivhaus principles — one of the most exacting construction standards in the world. The result is a residence that operates at 72% lower cost than comparable conventional construction, not through compromise, but through the precision of its engineering. Superinsulated walls, triple-pane European windows, airtight construction, and a Zehnder energy recovery ventilation system work in concert to deliver exceptional comfort in every season — silently, invisibly, and without effort.

The craft
Every system chosen to the same standard as the home itself.
Lion Point was furnished with equipment chosen for longevity, performance, and provenance — not specification sheets. Each component was selected as the definitive expression of its category.
01
Thermador
Established Munich, 1916. The standard against which all other kitchen equipment is measured. Full suite throughout.
02
Coastal Source
The industry leader for 60 years in outdoor audio — delivering life-of-party listening levels across the estate grounds.
03
FX Luminaire
The leader in outdoor lighting — a full display of automated landscape illumination that transforms the estate after dark.
These are not upgrades. They are the baseline from which Lion Point was built — the conviction that a home of this caliber admits no compromise in execution.
The position
Boulder in 2027 is Aspen in 1985. This is the moment before the inflection.
The buyers who recognized Jackson Hole, Telluride, and Park City before the cultural inflection point built generational wealth. They did not wait for prices to confirm what they already understood. Lion Point is that position — available now, before the market reflects what is coming.
The catalyst
The Sundance Film Festival relocates permanently to Boulder in 2027.
One of the most significant cultural events in a generation. 130,000 attendees, two weeks annually — filmmakers, directors, collectors, and the people who shape culture arriving each year to a city already defined by intellectual ambition and natural beauty. For the buyer who acts before that arrival, Lion Point is more than a residence. It is a statement about what Boulder is becoming — and a stake in the outcome.
