Imagine your own private 107-acre estate land with stunning mountain views, bordered on two sides by thousands of acres and almost a mile of border with Jefferson County Open Space. Just southeast of Blue Mountain, this gently sloping, south-facing land offers a multitude of cabin homesite locations along a quiet ridge with incredible views while still leaving plenty of room to enjoy the wildlife corridor to the north and west. At roughly 8,200 feet elevation, the property provides welcome relief from summer heat, yet remains highly accessible: only 30 minutes from Boulder or Golden, less than an hour from DIA, and just 1.5 miles off Coal Creek Canyon (Hwy 72). It's tucked away at the end of the road, making it exceptionally private and secure-especially with adjacent open space that's been closed to the public for years. Already zoned ag residential (A1), with a well in place and electric close to the property boundary, this land is unusually usable for a mountain property. Create your own family getaway. Aside from a dramatic 17-acre rock face on the northern edge-perfect for climbing-the rest offers a diverse and highly functional landscape: soft ridges, meadows, mixed pines and aspens, open grasslands, springs, wallows, ATV trails, rock outcroppings, and game trails. Wildlife is abundant-deer, elk, bear, bighorn sheep, and more. It's a rare, versatile canvas with endless possibilities. We have a newly completed easement from Hwy 72 to the property. This sale has been court ordered and transfer of title may be by a clerk's deed. Sale shall be "as is", with no warranties and no seller representations. Best access is by Listing Agent's truck. This property is gated, do not attempt to access. All information is deemed accurate but please do your own due diligence.

A beautiful 12 mile drive up Golden Gate Canyon Road outside of Golden Colorado leads to this spectacular gated sanctuary of privacy, seclusion and Rocky Mountain Views along the western shoulder of Centralia Mountain adjacent to thousands of acres of public lands. The 105 acre Centralia Mountain Retreat is the result of a merger of 3 parcels creating a scarce offering of a larger property inside the Front Range Foothills bordering the greater Denver metropolitan area. Currently utilized as a private retreat and for the occasional grazing of livestock, the property is an idyllic setting to expand upon as a recreational retreat, develop in to a Luxury estate overlooking the Rockies, or create a multi-generational compound. Several potential build sites have been identified along the access with some providing comfort in seclusion and others offering expansive views towards many distant mountains. Additional support infrastructure exists with a domestic well in place and an outstanding storage building that could potentially be permitted and converted to utilize as a weekender cabin or accessory dwelling to a larger home to be built.
