Land

Set on thirty-five level acres in unincorporated Adams County, this open meadow parcel offers a rare combination of scale, setting, and proximity. The ground is flat and unobstructed, framed by panoramic views of the Front Range to the west and Barr Lake to the northwest. Paved frontage along E 128th Avenue provides direct, year-round access, with a fenced road boundary, a gated entrance, and an established drive running the length of the western edge into the interior of the parcel. Zoned A-3, the property supports both residential and agricultural use, making it well suited to a custom home, an equestrian estate, or a quiet country retreat. It sits entirely outside the floodplain (FEMA Zone X) and lies roughly two miles from the entrance to Barr Lake State Park, with Denver International Airport and the city a short drive away.

Thoughtful protections established by the seller will accompany the parcel, preserving its character and ensuring the setting remains as considered as the parcel itself. They will take the form of recorded covenants, narrow in scope and designed to maintain estate quality, with none of the burdens that typically come with an HOA: no dues, no assessments, no ongoing management. Light-touch in design, the protections benefit the future owner as much as the surrounding land.

The property is served by Brighton School District 27-J: Henderson Elementary, Prairie View Middle School, and Prairie View High School. Buyer and buyer’s broker to verify all information, including but not limited to acreage, zoning, access, available utilities, water, and the specifics of the recorded covenants. Water, septic, and utility service to be confirmed by buyer through the appropriate authorities.

Water/Mineral Rights & Natural Resources

No water rights are included with the property, and there is no existing well; a buyer intending to develop the parcel should investigate domestic well permitting through the Colorado Division of Water Resources. The seller makes no representation as to the ownership of any mineral, oil, gas, or other subsurface rights, but will convey any such rights held in this parcel along with the surface. Research into mineral ownership typically requires a separate mineral title opinion from an attorney, as the standard title commitment generally excludes minerals. Buyer and buyer’s broker are encouraged to confirm all water, mineral, and natural resource matters through the appropriate authorities and qualified professionals.

Region & Climate

The property lies along Colorado’s northern Front Range, in the high-plains country east of the Rocky Mountains where the prairie meets the foothills on the western horizon. This is open, expansive land at roughly 5,150 feet of elevation, with broad skies, long views, and the snow-capped peaks of the Front Range spanning the western horizon. The setting balances rural character with genuine convenience: Barr Lake reservoir lies less than a mile to the northwest, while Denver International Airport, the city, and the communities of Brighton and Commerce City are all within easy reach.

The region enjoys a semi-arid, four-season climate with abundant sunshine, averaging around 300 sunny days per year. Summers are warm and dry, winters are cold but typically mild between storms, and precipitation is modest throughout the year. The combination of open ground, southern exposure, and a temperate high-plains climate makes the parcel well suited to residential, equestrian, or agricultural use.
