Net-Zero Ranch Coming to Gunbarrel Green: 5083 Cottonwood Dr, Boulder

Gunbarrel Green has been one of Boulder County's quieter, more sought-after addresses for decades. Mature trees, spacious lots, and easy access to Boulder's amenity corridor make it a neighborhood that rarely sees new construction. That's what makes 5083 Cottonwood Dr worth paying attention to.

Sopris Homes is building a net-zero ranch on a level .29-acre lot in the heart of the neighborhood. The home comes in at 3,262 square feet with 4 bedrooms, each with its own ensuite bath, a dedicated study, a powder bath, and an open-concept floor plan built for single-level living. Stone accents, a covered front entry, elevated ceilings, and an oversized 3-car garage round out the exterior presentation.

The home runs on roof-mounted solar and a heat pump system for both heating and cooling. Net-zero construction at this price point and location is still relatively uncommon in Boulder County, and it's a meaningful differentiator for buyers who care about long-term operating costs and energy performance.

Location-wise, the property sits within walking distance of the Boulder Country Club clubhouse, golf course, pool, and tennis courts. For members, or buyers considering membership, the proximity is genuine and rare at this price in Boulder County. The Boulder Reservoir, Twin Lakes Open Space, Lefthand Creek Trailhead, and Gunbarrel's trail network are all close by. Heatherwood Elementary and Boulder High School, both well-regarded within the Boulder Valley School District, are nearby as well.

The asking price is $3,100,000. To learn more or get on the list early, contact Patrick Dolan at 303-441-5642 or Kelly Atteridg at 303-817-0138. The full floor plan and project details are available here.
