Moving to the mountains? The truth is, not all lots are equal. Most are average at best. Very few are exceptional. The test for exceptional is demanding. The test is view, privacy, usability, water, and uniqueness. Many lots can meet most of these tests and they are nice, but not exceptional. This parcel IS exceptional.This lot is ultra-private. Located at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, this hillside 4.6 acre parcel wraps you in a cloak of seclusion and treats you to amazing views of the valley below and mountains beyond. It is a triangular lot that uses its shape and the surrounding terrain to ensure that you will never have a close neighbor. These 5 acres feel like 20! Privacy and views have been met, but what about usability? Developing a place to build your new home in the mountains is a challenge. You are faced with slopes, rocks, and moving tons of material. It takes a real pro to find the diamond hiding on a blank hillside. Here, all the hard work has been done. A professionally constructed driveway winds down the hill to a massive building pad with room to create a unique retreat of serenity and seclusion. The pad is professionally designed to maximize views and provide a blank canvas to build a unique homesite that enjoys the valley views and evening sunsets. Of course, nothing works if you don't have water. An average well here produces about 5 GPM. This property has a newly drilled well of 21 GPM, providing you with all the water you can ever use, enough to create your own private garden of Eden.

It all must come together for a property to be one-of-a-kind. This is one of that very small group. Words and pictures are nice, but you need to see a property. It must be walked. We have a saying here that the mountain calls to you. You will know you are on the right property when it hits you in the pit of your stomach. Come visit this exceptional parcel. Enjoy the views and soak in the natural serenity and incredible beauty of this property. Who knows? The mountain may just call to you. Regardless, you won't regret the trip because this lot IS exceptional.Of course, there is no perfect property. They all have a blemish. Here, the blemish is a part of the last mile of road to the property. It is paved, but a little rough in places. Nothing any car can't handle, just slows you down a bit.
