Have You Considered Building a Home in the Foothills?

      Here are two vacant and buildable lots in the foothills west of Golden.  The picture at right is of 4563 Calle Louisa, listed just this week for $125,000. It is a 5.2-acre barely sloping lot located in Elk Creek Meadows, eight miles up Golden Gate Canyon Road, then two miles up Robinson Hill Road on a high plateau.  Black Hawk is 25 minutes in one direction, and downtown Golden is 21 minutes in the other direction.  Jeffco’s largest Open Space park, Centennial Cone, is just two miles away, great for hiking, biking or horseback riding.

     While you’re up on that beautiful plateau, drive another 4.3 miles to the 2.8-acre lot at 2154 Douglas Mountain Dr., which is 10 minutes closer to Black Hawk, but still only 24 minutes from downtown Golden via Clear Creek Canyon. It is listed for only $40,000. Unlike the first listing, this lot is steep (located between switchbacks above Highway 119) but still buildable, with magnificent mountain views in every direction.  

     You can tour both listings online at www.GoldenAreaLand.info, where there are both still and video images including drone footage.
