Public Remarks: NEW LOW PRICE- This .29 acre lot backs to open space. It has city approved plans for a 2500 sq ft home to be built on the lot while retaining an existing studio. The studio is an architectural gem designed by Phil Tabb, based on sacred geometry that creates fine acoustic properties and makes it conducive to the arts and meditation. With 360 degree views of Flatirons, Boulder city lights, and distant plains. This lot is in the City, on Farmer's Ditch. Build your dream home while living in studio.
