Introducing a PREMIER lot in filing 9 of Elk Springs with unobstructed panoramic views stretching from Independence Pass (East) to Mt. Sopris (center) to the Sunlight ski area (West). This 2.887 acre lot is sited in an open meadow bordered by a grove of pinon and scrub oak trees to the West. The south end of the lot is adjacent to 100+ acres of dedicated green space and unobstructed views where nothing can be built. Definitely one of the best view orientations in Elk Springs! Architect and landscape architects recommend grading to level the slope and 2 to 2-1/2 story structure can maximize the sweeping views of Mt. Sopris from this site. All utilities (natural gas, electric, community water and sewer lines) have been installed on the lot line. Water and sewer tap fees are paid (a $17,000+ value). Elk Springs is a gated community with access to private walking trails on 1,100 acres of open space. Elk Springs is located near downtown Glenwood Springs and Carbondale and just a short drive to skiing the four mountains in Aspen and Snowmass Village. Other area amenities include 4 public and private golf courses, whitewater rafting on the Colorado River and fly fishing on the Roaring Fork River, walking and biking along the paved Rio Grande Trail (that goes from Aspen all the way down to Glenwood Springs), hiking and mountain biking Red Hill outside of Carbondale and more. The Aspen and Eagle Vail Airports are both less than an hour away. The famous orchards and vineyards in Palisade and desert mountain biking near Grand Junction are less than 2 hours away. The pursuit of the Rocky Mountain outdoors is right out your backdoor at this central location in Colorado!
