A large, pristine tract this close to the Denver Metro Area is certainly a rare find! Located just 12 minutes from C-470, 35 minutes from downtown Denver, and 30 minutes from the Denver Tech Center, this unique 275-acre property offers excellent opportunities for hiking, hunting, horseback riding, or simply investing in your own mountain retreat!

Largely untouched since the Arapaho Indians hunted here, the property is frequented by elk, deer, turkey, grouse, and an assortment of other wildlife.

The land includes a wide variety of vegetation and topography with a mix of aspen, fir, ponderosa pine, gambel oak, and meadows, and includes a seasonal creek.
