Rarely does a property this close to Golden offer this combination of acreage, privacy, water, views & future potential, now offered at the best price yet! Just a 13-minute drive from downtown Golden, this extraordinary 40-acre foothills property feels worlds away while remaining mere minutes from everyday amenities & in view of city lights. Large usable land holdings this close to the city are increasingly rare. Unlike many mountain parcels that sacrifice usability for scenery, this property offers an exceptional balance of open pasture, mature trees, varied terrain, & compelling homesite possibilities. Approx. 70% of the land consists of usable pasture balanced with Ponderosa Pine, Douglas Fir, Aspen, Juniper, Oak + teeming with various wildlife. Water—one of Colorado’s most difficult & valuable development hurdles—has already been done. This property now includes a recently-drilled well permitted for residential & agricultural use. Well development produced over 15 gallons/minute (buyer to verify)—a significant investment toward establishing long-term water security & viability. Development groundwork includes an assigned address, access improvements + driveway excavation & utility planning already completed for future electrical service to intended homesite area. Fully fenced + 2 cattle guards, the property is well suited for horses, livestock, recreation or as a one-of-a-kind legacy property. Agricultural zoning further expands future possibilities. City views! Enjoy lower snow accumulation than comparable higher-elevation mountain communities. Whether your vision includes a custom estate, equestrian retreat, family compound, agricultural homestead, or private Colorado escape, this property offers an increasingly difficult combination to recreate: location, scale, usability, and infrastructure progress—already in place. Land this close to Golden is finite. Come see it for yourself! Imagine what comes next. Don't miss our videos with stunning aerial perspectives
