1182 Ridge Rd, Nederland, CO 80466

Set above the shimmering waters of Barker Reservoir, this extraordinary 5-acre homesite offers a rare opportunity to create a refined mountain retreat in the heart of Nederland. Framed by sweeping alpine vistas, the setting balances a sense of seclusion with easy access to the charm of downtown Nederland's shops, restaurants and year-round community, as well as nearby Eldora Mountain Resort. Included with the property is an approved Site Plan Review for "The Weekender," a thoughtfully designed 1,150 SF cabin by acclaimed Colorado architect Renee del Gaudio. Inspired by the simplicity and intention of backcountry huts, the architecture is both modern and timeless, featuring vaulted ceilings, exposed structural elements and expansive glazing that captures and reflects the surrounding landscape. Buyers have the unique opportunity to collaborate directly with the architect to further refine the vision, creating a home that feels both personal and deeply connected to its setting. Construction may be completed with a contractor of choice or through the architect's trusted builder. With immediate proximity to the Indian Peaks Wilderness and access to hiking, Eldora Mountain skiing and outdoor recreation just minutes away, this property is ideally suited for a second home getaway rooted in nature, design and Colorado mountain living.
