Step into a rare opportunity to build near the heart of Nederland without starting from scratch. This thoughtfully prepared lot sits close to downtown and offers a far smoother path to construction than most mountain properties. The seller purchased the parcel for $100,000 and invested substantially to move it well beyond an untouched piece of land. A paid water tap, now valued at over $47,000, removes one of the largest and most expensive hurdles in the area. A full survey with topography, soil pits, geotechnical engineering, septic design, and documented site buildability are already complete. Offered at $149,000, this property allows buyers to move directly into the building phase while avoiding years of prep work, delays, and unknowns. Included plans outline an approximately 2,000 square foot mountain home with a 500 square foot attached garage, designed for modern Colorado living. The cantilevered living space wrapped in Alpen triple pane glass captures views of downtown Nederland, Barker Reservoir, and Eldora Ski Resort, all visible from the build site. The design incorporates solar power, heated thermal floors, and passive net zero features for efficient, high elevation living. Location drives the lifestyle here. The lot’s proximity to town makes it easy to enjoy Nederland’s coffee shops, music venues, festivals, and local breweries without a long drive home. Eldora Ski Resort is just minutes away, and with the Town of Nederland actively pursuing ownership of the resort, many view this as a long term investment in the community. Ski in the morning, explore nearby trails in the afternoon, and still be home in time to catch the sunset. For buyers who have toured land that quickly became complicated, this property offers a welcome alternative. Much of the red tape has already been addressed, allowing you to focus on designing and building a Colorado mountain home that connects directly to town, views, trails, and the everyday rhythm of Nederland living.
