Colorado’s largest flower producer to hit market for almost $10M

The Boulder Flower Farm, the state’s largest flower producer, is set to hit the real estate market on Tuesday, with a price tag of almost $9.75 million for the property and two businesses.

The Boulder County property at 4114 Oxford Rd. in Longmont spans almost 10 acres, with two existing companies operating on the land: the Fresh Herb Company, which sells live culinary herbs and flowers, and the Boulder Flower Farm, a founding member of the Boulder Farmers Market.

It also serves as an event venue, hosting up to 12 weddings annually, said listing agent Bob Dalton of real estate company Slifer Smith & Frampton in a Friday interview.

The new owner would take over the businesses and their assets, including tractors, trucks, machines, inventory and customer contracts like Whole Foods, Dalton added.

The would-be buyer would also invest their money into a piece of Colorado history: the Bader School House, constructed in 1887 and part of the remodeled main residence. It’s attached to a twostory house built in 2004.

The 3,245-square-foot residence consists of four bedrooms and three bathrooms in total.

In its entirety, the home features seven French doors, a chef’s kitchen, a wood-burning fireplace in the living room, an extra-deep soaking tub in the main bathroom and an office. A 15,660-square-foot greenhouse and a 2,700-square-foot barn, with a walk-in cooler and office space, also sit on the property, according to a news release.

For homeowners looking to expand, Boulder County will permit an extra 1,816 square feet to the main residence.

Owners Chet and Kristy Anderson, who’ve run The Fresh Herb Company for four decades, are eyeing greener pastures — potentially on the Western Slope, Dalton said.

“I don’t see them not having some type of a farm, orchard, vineyard — something,” he added.
