Overview

This nearly one-acre mountain parcel has been prepared as a homesite with grading already completed and minimal prep anticipated. A vault waste system is currently installed and approved for a two-bedroom home, and a well has been drilled. Electricity is to the property, and the land features dramatic rock outcroppings and sweeping mountain views, including the Continental Divide, Long’s Peak, and portions of the Never Summers.

Located in Drake, Colorado in Larimer County, the property provides easy access to nearby outdoor recreation. Residents can reach trails on Palisade and Storm Mountain for hiking, jeeping, and side-by-sides, and the Big Thompson River is nearby for trout fishing. Within the community, there is access to a private lake where fishing and non-motorized boating are allowed.

After a prior home was lost in the Alexander Mountain Fire of 2024, the site remains ready for a new build with key utilities already in place. The approved vault system for two bedrooms and the graded homesite make the property a practical fit for anyone looking to construct a primary residence or mountain retreat in a setting defined by long-range views and year-round recreation access.
