The Colorado foothills invite you to build a home that fits your vision. Finding land that fits the vision? That’s often the hard part. Some mountain parcels look perfect online, until you arrive and realize you’ll need mountain goat skills to explore them, a chainsaw to find the views, or a daily car wash after the drive home. This property offers a refreshingly different starting point. Fully paved access leads to gentle, usable terrain and thanks to the current owner, a cleared building site with approximately 100 feet of tree clearance around it. Long-range mountain views and twinkling city lights provide the backdrop. Located on Shadow Mountain not far from Highway 73 and minutes from Conifer, you can enjoy mountain living without making every errand an expedition. Safeway, Natural Grocers, and King Soopers are all within about 10 minutes, along with coffee and local restaurants. When adventure calls, hiking and biking are close at hand, skiing is within reach, and the inviting main streets of Evergreen, Morrison, and Golden make for easy outings. Don't forget the shows at Red Rocks! Bring your plans, your imagination, and your hiking boots for the trails. You can leave the mountain goat gear at home and save the car wash money.
