Magnolia

By Jessica Car · Updated April 2026

A dispersed mountain corridor along Magnolia Drive south of Nederland, rustic cabins and modern custom homes on large, heavily forested parcels ranging from one acre to well over ten. The West and East Magnolia trail systems provide sixteen combined miles of singletrack right from the doorstep. Many lots border National Forest. Magnolia Road is the alternative back route between Nederland and Boulder, giving residents a sense of genuine backcountry living with reasonable access to both towns. The 1,290-person neighborhood has a strong outdoor community. Gardening, hiking, dogs, and wildlife watching top the list.
