RECIR1057759This extraordinary Buckingham Hills estate, fully renovated to perfection, is a timeless masterpiece of architectural distinction and serene mountain living. Designed by renowned architect David Barrett and built by Harrington Stanko, the home is gracefully set on 38 private acres; one of just nine residences sharing over 300 acres of preserved open space and forested land. Surrounded by sweeping vistas in every direction, the home captures iconic views of the Continental Divide, Pikes Peak, and the Flatirons, along with rolling forests, dramatic rock outcroppings, and the shimmering city lights below. Inside, walls of glass dissolve the boundary between indoors and out, flooding the home with natural light and framing uninterrupted panoramas from nearly every room. The interiors are grounded in warmth and sophistication, with natural materials and stone accents that echo the surrounding environment. A beautifully executed open floor plan strikes a perfect balance between privacy and gathering, allowing the home to live comfortably day-to-day while effortlessly accommodating larger-scale entertaining. Each bedroom and office is thoughtfully designed with private balcony access, extending the living experience into the landscape. A series of cascading patios and intimate garden terraces create moments for quiet reflection, while also offering a stunning backdrop for entertaining. Both a sanctuary and a statement, this Buckingham Hills estate is a truly rare offering where timeless design meets the extraordinary scale and beauty of the Colorado landscape. Positioned just ten minutes from Broadway, the property offers an unparalleled sense of retreat without sacrificing proximity to Boulder’s most vibrant corridors.

architectural allure
A study in timeless design, this residence reflects a refined architectural language that is both grounded and expressive. The vision of David Barrett is evident in every line—where structure, light, and landscape exist in perfect harmony. Rooted in Barrett Studio’s philosophy of “Living Architecture,†the home is designed in active relationship with its environment, capturing light, climate, and terrain in a way that feels both intentional and effortless. The 2022 renovation — executed by Barrett Studio alongside the original builder and craftsmen — represents a rare and meaningful evolution of the home’s original design. Rather than a simple refresh, the result is a thoughtful deepening of the architecture itself, with elevated finishes and systems seamlessly integrated by those who understand the home at its core. A designer kitchen by EKD anchors the main living space, featuring Wolf double ovens, a speed oven, a book-matched marble slab backsplash, and a waterfall-edge island complemented by integrated cabinetry and a solid walnut bar. Nearby, the reimagined primary suite offers a spa-like bath with a soaking tub oriented toward sweeping views of the Continental Divide and city lights, a steam shower, and refined modern fixtures.
