The Holland Lode offers a rare opportunity to create a contemporary mountain residence on a remarkably well-positioned homesite in Gilpin County, less than an hour from Denver and minutes from Central City, Black Hawk and Idaho Springs. Much of the difficult early site work has already begun. An established private driveway ascends through the property to an excavated building site, creating the opportunity for a dramatic approach to a future residence. A power pole is located on the property, and additional excavated areas appear to have been prepared for a septic tank and leach field. Buyers should independently verify all existing improvements, utilities, permits and requirements for future construction. The property's south-facing orientation provides excellent solar exposure and beautiful views toward Pewabic Mountain, Bellevue Mountain and the surrounding high-country landscape. Aspen, mountain terrain and its elevated setting create privacy while remaining remarkably connected to nearby communities and services. Located near an established collection of architecturally distinctive contemporary mountain homes, The Holland Lode presents an opportunity to build within a setting where modern high-country design has already been successfully demonstrated. For a qualified buyer seeking more than vacant land, a potential turnkey path from land acquisition through design and construction of a completed residence may also be available. Co-listing broker is also a designer, developer and licensed general contractor and may be available to assist with future development under a separate agreement. Construction, design and financing arrangements would be separately negotiated and subject to buyer qualification and applicable approvals. CONCEPTUAL RENDERINGS, IF SHOWN, depict possible future improvements only. Residence, driveway improvements, landscaping and other depicted improvements are not included in the land price and have not been constructed.

The VEDA MODERN Vision
VEDA MODERN develops, designs and builds contemporary homes for extraordinary Colorado mountain landscapes, with a particular niche in grid-independent living and the thoughtful repurposing of historic mountain properties.
For more than a decade, we have worked at elevations above 9,000 feet, where architecture, infrastructure and land must be considered together. Experience with solar generation, battery storage, wells, wastewater systems and sophisticated backup technologies informs our approach to mountain development-whether a residence operates independently or connects to conventional infrastructure.
Our relationship with Bonanza Land LLC dates to the founding of VEDA MODERN. Its historic patented mining claims and mountain acreage have provided a remarkable proving ground for transforming land shaped by Colorado's mining history into contemporary places to live. Sixteen completed VEDA residences demonstrate that vision in built form.
Through VEDA MODERN PROPERTIES, our real estate division, we also assist clients in identifying and securing exceptional land. Mountain property requires an understanding of access, topography, solar orientation, water, wastewater, utilities, jurisdiction and historic context. These considerations are evaluated alongside architecture from the beginning rather than after a site has been selected.
Our work begins with the land, not a predetermined building. Each residence is conceived specifically for its setting, combining contemporary architecture with thoughtful site planning, infrastructure and construction.
Pricing shown with proposed residences and architectural renderings represents a starting point and will vary based on land, site conditions, infrastructure and final design.
