Stunning 12 acre parcel with jaw dropping views of snow capped mountains and serene vistas looking down the Empire valley and over the town below. This super rare 12 acre lot has it all and definitely sets itself apart from other land for sale in almost every way - There is a clear building site that fully captures the incredible mountain views while being tucked in a healthy mix of soaring douglas fir, pines and shimmering aspen trees. The potential building site is perfectly situated at the top of the parcel directly off of a County maintained road with a driveway already cleared for easy access. The property also has electricity up to the lot line saving significant money on infrastructure costs as well as an already approved and issued well permit! Other significant features of the land include two small year-round creeks that flow through both sides of the property - the fully South facing orientation to take advantage of full sunlight year round - and the full cell phone service coverage. The beauty of this property is that you feel completely secluded on your private parcel tucked away in the mountains while only being a 3 minute drive (can even walk or bike) down to the charming town of Empire for coffee, a craft beer at a local brewery or delicious deep dish pizza. It is the perfect mountain location with a quick 15 minute drive to Idaho Springs and Georgetown and only 30 minutes to major ski resorts including Winter Park, while also only being 40 minutes from downtown Denver! This dream property makes a great homebase for endless outdoor adventures nearby including whitewater rafting, hiking, fly-fishing, snow skiing, ziplining, 4-wheeling/off-roading and soaking in hot springs! Other land development documents already completed include a full land survey and lidar topo making it ready to design your perfect mountain dream home!
