A generational opportunity on one of Bow Mar’s most remarkable legacy lots. Set on 1.43 acres at one of the highest points in the neighborhood, the property captures sweeping views of Marston Reservoir, the mountains and Red Rocks, creating an extraordinary setting for a future dream home with unmatched privacy.
