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.

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 per minute (buyer to verify)—a significant investment toward establishing long-term water infrastructure & 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 & enhanced with 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. Sweeping city views! Enjoy lower snow accumulation than comparable higher-elevation mountain communities.
