This gorgeous, sunny parcel has extended views of the plains and surrounding foothills, potential building sites with southern exposure, 2 spring-fed ponds, 2 creeks, space for horses or livestock, PRIVACY, rock outcroppings, wildlife, a rustic cabin...and it borders National Forest on the entire east and most of the south sides. Nestled at ~8500 FT, it sits at the far side of the coveted Bar K Ranch giving access to a school bus pick-up and an optional neighborhood association with 3 stocked fishing lakes, BBQ amenities, common land horse pastures and stables, a well-loved community garden, and hiking trails. The parcel is made up of both open and wooded areas, and slopes from the west down to the east, with a spring fed creek originating on the property. In addition, James Creek crosses the south-east corner of the land. A rustic 252 SF cabin (with newly updated flooring and walls) is positioned near the ponds beside a 670 SF equipment shed. The road to the property is county maintained. Electricity runs to neighboring homes and could be brought to the property (buyer to verify process with Xcel). There is currently no well or septic installed. Eldora skiing, Boulder, and Longmont are all ~30 min away. DIA is 1.5 hrs away. The Jamestown Mercantile is only ~10 minutes away for live music and the best brunch in the county. Brainard Lake and the St Vrain Trail are nearby. Any visit to the property must be accompanied by a licensed agent.
