Step into a landscape where wild beauty meets limitless possibility. This breathtaking 35-acre parcel captures the essence of Colorado—riverfront tranquility, sweeping mountain views & boundless adventure. Nestled between Twin Lakes, Colorado’s largest glacier-carved lakes, & Independence Pass, the state’s second-highest scenic byway, this rare offering invites you to live immersed in nature’s rhythm.

Enjoy year-round access with direct Hwy 82 frontage & a summer route just 29.8 miles from Aspen. Wander your private stretch of pristine riverfront, watch elk & moose graze at sunrise, & listen as the river sings through the valley. Explore hidden beaches, stroll wooded groves, & breathe in the scent of wild irises & mountain roses that bloom across open meadows each summer.

This land tells a story of preservation & privilege—82 square miles of surrounding creekfront are protected under a conservation easement, safeguarding the area’s natural splendor for generations. Your parcel holds the last remaining residential building envelope within this protected acreage—a once-in-a-lifetime chance to build a legacy home in one of Colorado’s most pristine settings.

A partially constructed driveway leads to a flat, sun-drenched building site tucked among evergreens—perfect for a secluded mountain retreat. Imagine crackling winter fires, golden autumn hikes & starlit summer nights around the campfire as the river hums in the background. Each season transforms the land—snowfall softens the peaks, spring waters rush with renewal, & summer paints the valley with color & life.

Bordering wilderness, this property offers endless exploration—hike, fish, ski, snowmobile, or simply be still in the vast silence. While a well hasn’t been drilled, the site allows for a domestic well to support your dream home.

Opportunities like this are rare. Seize this moment to create your mountain sanctuary—where nature leads, time slows & your legacy begins.
