Unique Opportunity in Wheat Ridge – Ideal for Tiny Homes or Urban Homesteading. Site Map can be downloaded from the Supplements. Tucked away in a quiet Wheat Ridge location, this 11,413 sq ft lot offers a rare chance to create something truly different in a rapidly growing area. While a central easement limits traditional single-home construction, it opens the door for creative buyers looking to design a more flexible and intentional living setup. The seller has previously been advised by the City of Wheat Ridge that the property may accommodate two tiny homes positioned outside of the easement area, making this an intriguing option for those exploring alternative housing, multi-generational living, or income-producing possibilities. Even more appealing, the property has been approved for horses and other livestock, offering a unique blend of urban convenience and rural lifestyle—something that’s getting harder and harder to find this close to Denver. Located near the Clear Creek trail system, local parks, shopping, and quick access to the mountains, this lot combines location, flexibility, and lifestyle potential in one package. Important: Buyers are encouraged to verify all zoning, use allowances, and building options directly with the City of Wheat Ridge to confirm feasibility for their specific plans.
Wheatridge Manor, located between W 38th Ave and Kipling St, is a residential and suburban Wheat Ridge neighborhood with mid-century ranch streetscapes and mature shade trees. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the W 38th Ave and Kipling St crossroads, where low-slung storefronts, taquerias, and local coffee counters set a steady, daytime hum. Brick ranch homes and tidy yards define the blocks, with occasional remodels that keep the silhouette consistent. Crown Hill Park and its lake-edge paths shape the outdoor rhythm nearby. Colorado Plus Brew Pub and The Bardo Coffee House act as familiar community pillars, with Alamo Drafthouse Cinema Sloans Lake adding a film-centric night-out anchor.
