nederland real estate
The largest mountain town in Boulder County, Nederland offers residents a contrast of rustic mountain life with the more city-like atmosphere of Boulder just 19 miles down the canyon. The town was born as a settlement for gold, silver and, later, tungsten miners. The promise of riches from the town's mines drew thousands of residents to the mountains in the late 1800's. In 1874, Nederland was incorporated and had more than 3,500 residents at its peak. A community of individuals, today the population is around 1400, and there is no shortage of lively political interaction. The former mining boomtown is taking advantage of its mountain crossroads location with a new tourist information center. Owners of the nearby Eldora Ski Area have expanded snowmaking capabilities and upgraded other facilities, offering Nederland an economic shot in the arm. Barker Reservoir, a favorite fishing spot, lends itself to multiple outdoor recreational uses. The town prides itself on a sense of community and the aesthetic beauty and serenity of the area deserve your attention.
