THE BENCHMARK. One acre at the peak of Benchmark. Flatirons and snow-capped peaks to the west, Davison Mesa open space and eastern sunrises behind, unobstructed in both directions, with no homes in either sightline. This is one of twelve lots in Boulder's Benchmark HOA, and it sits at the top. The previous home was lost in the Marshall Fire. What remains is a cleared site with infrastructure most ground-up builds start without. A heated driveway, still operational. A shared irrigation well serving all 12 HOA homes, green grass without a water bill. The land behind the property is HOA-owned and preserved, making the eastern views and open space permanent. A septic system permitted for 6 bedrooms is already in place, removing one of the more significant unknowns from any new build. For a developer, the site is ready to work. For a buyer building their own home, it offers something that can't be negotiated into a lot position, views, and infrastructure on one of the Front Range's better addresses. It either exists or it doesn't. Here, it does.

Lot 8 of 12 in the Benchmark subdivision, at the end of a cul-de-sac and bordering Open Space, on a rolling 2.22-acre site. The Open Space border is more than a privacy buffer - it's protected permanently. Nothing will ever rise into this sightline. The view runs from Eldorado Canyon and the Flatirons north to Longs Peak, then opens east across the plains. West-facing means any design here is oriented toward sunset light by default. Amazing nightly sunsets, by default. Also, unlike most raw land in Boulder right now: the work that usually slows a build down has already been done. The home that stood here was lost in the December 31, 2021 Marshall Fire. Boulder County has since completed debris removal, the soil has been tested and cleared, and the lot qualifies for fast-tracked permitting under County Land Use Code Article 19-500. A current plat and soil report are available on request. Most buyers of raw Colorado land spend close to a year on exactly that process before breaking ground. Here, it's finished — which leaves room to build fire-resilient design into the architecture from the first sketch rather than bolt it on later: non-combustible roofing, ember-resistant vents, native low-fuel landscaping that reads as intentional, not defensive. Zoned ER, with public water, septic, and electric, gas, cable, and phone already at the lot. Benchmark HOA runs $200 a year, self-managed, capital reserves only — no design review layered on top, and the rolling grade gives a walkout siting option most flat lots can't offer. Nothing here is decided yet. A contemporary glass-and-steel statement, a low retreat settled into the hillside, or anything between — the site supports the full range. About 8 miles to Downtown Boulder, in the Boulder Valley RE 2 school district (Douglass, Platt, Fairview), with Denver, Louisville, Lafayette, DIA, and the high country already within reach. What would you build? How could you feel here? 8 Benchmark Dr. - South Boulder, 2.22 Acres
