About This Property
Opportunities of this scale and location are exceptionally rare in the heart of the Rocky Mountains, and rural sweetheart community of Buena Vista, Colorado. This 18.93-acre parcel represents the last large undeveloped tract of its kind within city limits, offering an extraordinary canvas for visionary residential development. The property includes 21 platted residential lots and the alignment for Columbia Drive (not yet constructed), providing a framework for development while leaving ample room to design a cohesive, connected neighborhood. With existing residential zoning and the potential for multi-family zoning, builders have flexible pathways to maximize the site’s value.
From nearly every vantage point, sweeping Collegiate Peak views create a dramatic alpine backdrop, offering residents a true mountain lifestyle just minutes from downtown. The parcel provides excellent access from Marquette, Surrey, and Railroad Streets, and public utilities are nearby, simplifying infrastructure planning. The walkability here is unmatched for a property of this size, with parks, schools, shops, and restaurants all within easy reach. Outdoor enthusiasts will also appreciate proximity to the Arkansas River, world-renowned for rafting, fishing, and year-round recreation.
This property offers rare flexibility for single-family neighborhoods, cottage communities, or higher-density developments. It is fully supported with a prior appraisal and a new survey, streamlining the due diligence process. In a market where large parcels within city limits are virtually gone, this property is a once-in-a-generation development opportunity. With its size, views, location, and zoning potential, it provides developers a chance to create a meaningful residential community in one of Colorado’s most desirable mountain towns. The land is ready. The vision is yours to bring to life.
