Land for Sale in Drake, Colorado
1830 Palisade Mountain Dr, Drake, CO 80515
Ready-to-build mountain property with striking views, privacy, and major infrastructure already completed, so you don't have to. This property is ready for you to put your own personal stamp on it. Leveled and excavated with a soil report for a future foundation, this nearly 2-acre parcel is set up for a tiny home, cabin, RV basecamp, or full-time mountain retreat. The property includes a heated and insulated 24x24 pole barn, storage sheds, fencing, an outhouse, and a 120 sq ft shed/dome currently used as a chicken coop with an attached fenced run. Also included is a 1,500-gallon septic vault for RV clean-out or future connection to a dwelling, along with an enormous 1,400-gallon gravity-fed fresh water tank. Mature junipers border the property, providing privacy that is hard to find on comparable lots. The property is solar-ready, with nearby electric access adding flexibility for future build plans. Zoned for horses, animals, and off-grid cabin builds, this property offers flexibility for a hobby farm or mountain retreat. Located near the reservoir, hiking, fishing, wildlife, and the natural beauty that draws people to Drake, Estes Park, and Rocky Mountain National Park, this is a rare opportunity to buy usable land with meaningful improvements already in place. Year-round road access is provided and maintained by a Public Improvement District. Owner financing options available; contact broker for details.
