40 ACRES. 13 MINUTES TO GOLDEN. WATER ALREADY IN PLACE. Finding this much usable land so close to Golden is increasingly difficult—and finding it with privacy, views, a recently drilled well and meaningful development work already completed is rarer still.
This extraordinary foothills property offers the space and seclusion of a mountain retreat without giving up convenient access to the city. Approximately 70% of the 40 acres is usable pasture, complemented by Ponderosa Pine, Douglas Fir, Aspen, Juniper and Oak, with varied terrain, abundant wildlife and compelling possibilities for a future homesite.
One of the biggest hurdles to developing Colorado land has already been addressed: WATER. A recently drilled well is permitted for residential and agricultural use, with well development producing over 15 gallons per minute (buyer to verify). That represents a significant investment already made toward the property’s future use.
Additional groundwork includes an assigned address, access improvements, driveway excavation and utility planning for future electrical service to the intended homesite area. The property is fully fenced with two cattle guards and offers agricultural zoning, creating possibilities for horses, livestock, recreation, a custom estate, family compound, homestead or private Colorado retreat.
And then there are the views. Look across the foothills and toward the city lights below while enjoying a setting that generally receives less snow than many higher-elevation mountain communities.
Location. Acreage. Usable land. Water. Privacy. Views. Infrastructure already underway. At just 13 minutes from downtown Golden, this is a combination that is extraordinarily difficult to recreate.
Now offered at $649,900. Come walk the land, take in the views and imagine what comes next. Be sure to watch the property videos and aerial footage for a perspective you simply can’t get from the road.
