One could search the world for a property like this – a place with sweeping mountain views that truly take your breath away. A place with the sense of being in the middle of nowhere with space to roam, yet located in a gated community minutes from everything. The current owners did exactly that – they searched from the forests of the East Coast to the waters of the West Coast, all over Europe and South America – and nowhere else in the world left the same impression. rn rnHere, 35 sprawling acres are exquisitely set atop a mesa, where majestic mountain views are completely unobstructed from Longs Peak to Pikes Peak. The predominantly flat parcel is covered in native grasses and is an ideal setting on which to build your ultimate Colorado retreat. The building envelope can spaciously accommodate a residence plus two outbuildings. The property already has electricity installed, a working well, and a half-mile aggregate pathway around the property to enjoy this treasure on foot. rn rnThe property resides in Tessa Mesa, one of Douglas County’s most pristine gated communities of sixteen acreage homesites. Only 5 minutes to Interstate 25, Tessa Mesa is located midway between Downtown Denver and Colorado Springs. Commuting is easy with a roughly 40-minute drive to each, and 25 minutes to the Denver Tech Center (DTC), a business hub of the metro area. rn rnThis historic town of Castle Rock is just minutes away, with a small-town feel and is recognized as one of the best towns in the U.S. to live, work, dine and play. The immediate area is home to the expanding Castle Rock Adventist Hospital district along with other businesses, and recreational activities including the adjacent 300-acre Phillip S. Miller Regional Park, the Promenade shopping district, miles of bike and walking trails, plus there are numerous golf courses in the area. One should never compromise their dreams, and here you won’t.
