Aspen Lane, Golden, CO

About Aspen Lane

There are very few opportunities to build on Lookout Mountain where the land around you is likely to remain just as wild as it is today. This 2.05 acre parcel in historic Rilliet Park offers a remarkable combination of privacy, usable terrain, mature forest and direct adjacency to more than 200 acres of privately held conserved open space available to neighborhood residents. Gently sloping land provides flexibility for a future homesite, while mature ponderosa pine and evergreens create a wonderfully secluded setting. Walk the property and you'll find game trails winding through the woods, pockets of sunlight beneath the trees and glimpses of the surrounding mountains. Thoughtful mitigation and clearing for a homesite should open dramatic mountain views while preserving the character and privacy of the forest. Beyond the property line, Rilliet Park Association's conserved lands offer trails and open space reserved for neighborhood residents, a short half mile walk to the Beaver Brook Trail, and additional Jefferson County Open Space nearby. Tucked away on a private road where properties rarely become available, you'd never guess how convenient the location actually is. I 70 is just minutes away, yet the property enjoys remarkable peace and quiet with no highway noise. Golden and Denver are an easy commute by car, or leave the driving behind at the nearby Paradise Hills RTD Park and Ride. Head the other direction and you're already at the gateway to the Rockies, with world class skiing and seemingly endless mountain recreation within easy reach. Rilliet Park itself has roots dating to the 1920s, when Colorado Mountain Club members established this quiet mountain retreat on the former Rilliet Ranch, and generations later its protected landscape remains an integral part of the neighborhood. It's a rare chance to create something of your own without giving up the things that make mountain living special: space, views, trees, wildlife, privacy and room to wander.
