Exceptional 14-acre development opportunity in the heart of Estes Park, directly across from scenic Mary's Lake and just a 5-minute drive to Rocky Mountain National Park. This property offers a rare combination of natural beauty, investment potential, and flexible development possibilities in one of Colorado's most sought-after mountain destinations. Positioned on a gentle, south-facing slope, the property features stunning views of Mary's Lake and the surrounding mountains, dramatic granite outcroppings, old-growth pine trees, native vegetation, and abundant wildlife. Utilities are available, while horizontal infrastructure is currently under construction and/or adjacent to the site, creating an ideal foundation for future development. This large-lot acreage presents endless possibilities for a private mountain estate, boutique development project, or investment-focused retreat property. As an opportunity zone investment, future capital gains may qualify for significant tax advantages, including tax-free gains at future sale dates. Rarely does a parcel combine location, accessibility, infrastructure readiness, and long-term upside quite like this. Whether you envision a personal mountain residence, or a strategic development investment, this property offers an unmatched opportunity just outside the entrance to Rocky Mountain National Park.

This district permits relatively low-density single-unit residential development in areas of the Estes Valley where this is the established and predominant land use pattern.

The regulations contained in this district will permit continued, low-density residential development, generally at densities no greater than 1 du per 2.5 acres.
