Nestled in one of Denver’s most desirable and rapidly developing corridors, this 8.5-acre property presents a rare opportunity for those seeking privacy, space, and future flexibility. The land consists of two adjoining parcels, with approximately 2–3 acres cleared and nearly level, providing the perfect foundation for your private estate, homestead, or custom build. The remaining acreage offers a natural wooded backdrop ideal for hunting, recreation, or simply added seclusion. The property features existing electrical service and lies within a Mobile Home Overlay District, offering zoning versatility should a buyer wish to explore manufactured housing placement — though the setting truly shines as a private retreat or estate-style residence. Enjoy peaceful country living just minutes from Lake Norman, Highway 16, and Denver’s growing mix of shopping, dining, and amenities. With usable cleared acreage up front and tranquil wooded surroundings behind, this property combines convenience, character, and the freedom to create your own vision.
