Set at the end of a private road in the coveted Golden Gate Canyon, this rare 38-acre property offers highly usable acreage with incredible, sweeping views of the Arvada reservoirs and the downtown Denver skyline, all just 15 minutes from downtown Golden. The well-kept, solid-brick main residence offers 2,600 square feet including multiple patios and a walkout basement to enjoy your serene setting. An additional dwelling unit (ADU), built in 2021, offers nearly 1,700 additional square feet including a full kitchen, bathroom and two bedrooms. The barn, wired, watered, and ready with two horse stalls, hints at what this land is capable of. Unlike most foothill properties where the acreage can be steep, wooded, or just out of reach, this land actually opens up. Wide, clear pastures roll across the ridgeline, the kind of usable ground that's genuinely hard to find this close to the city. The 200-plus-degree panorama sweeps from the Front Range to the east all the way to the Continental Divide to the west, framing a landscape of open pasture, a treasured Bristlecone pine grove, and abundant wildlife including elk, deer, moose, bear, and eagles. While secluded on your perch above the metro, you’re never far from modern conveniences. From your front door you’re just a 15-minute drive into downtown Golden. Rarely does a property this private, this usable, and this close to the city come available. A true Front Range sanctuary.
