What Waterfront Means in Boulder

• Water rights are separate from the land. In Colorado you can own the shoreline and not the right to use the water. Ditch shares, well permits and pond decrees transfer only when the contract says so. We read them before you write.
• Floodplain and insurance. Creekside and riverfront Boulder homes sit in or near a FEMA flood zone, and the lender requires flood insurance when they do. We pull the flood map on every waterfront home.
• Reservoirs draw down. Front Range reservoirs are irrigation storage first. The water line in September is not the water line in May. Ask which months the view is water and which are mud.
• Who owns the shore. Many Boulder lakes are owned by a ditch company, a metro district or the HOA, and the rules on docks, boats and swimming are theirs. We find out before you fall for the sunset.
• Septic, wells and setbacks. Rural waterfront in Boulder runs on wells and septic, and the county sets setbacks from the water for both. A failed septic near water is a five-figure repair.

How to Buy a Waterfront Home in Boulder

1. Decide what the water is for: the view, fishing, paddling or motorized boats. Each points to different Boulder water.
2. Get pre-approved with flood insurance in the payment when the home sits in a flood zone.
3. Tour with a Kenna agent, 7 days a week. We walk the shoreline, ask about the water level and read the HOA or ditch company rules.
4. Order the title work early. Water rights, ditch easements and shoreline ownership show up in title, and they take time to read.
5. Inspect the water systems. Well flow, septic, sump and drainage all get their own inspection on Boulder waterfront.
