About this home
Rare opportunity to own 40 private acres and build your dream property in Larkspur, west of I-25. This To-Be-Built home with 3,500 square feet of living space and 2,750 square feet of garage space has been approved through Douglas County and you can break ground the day after closing on the land! Imagine your very own barn-do-minium style "high performance" home with sweeping foothill and bluff views, open meadows, and Cook Creek winding through the property. Open Space stretches out across the front of the property. The property is fenced and cross-fenced and includes a 960 sq ft barn. An active cattle lease is currently in place, helping keep property taxes low. Domestic well and sloping fields make it ideal for horses as well. Wildlife is abundant, including elk, deer, coyotes, owls, and the occasional badger. Major infrastructure for off-grid living was completed in 2026 and enables a mid-2027 finish date. The infrastructure includes a domestic well drilled in the Dawson aquifer, an engineered septic system designed and installed for a 4-bedroom residence, buried 1,000-gallon propane tank, 15.4 kW solar PV system with battery storage, and propane-powered Generac backup generator. Enjoy off-grid electric living without a monthly electric utility bill. A concrete RV pad lets you begin enjoying the property immediately or live on-site while building. A hard-to-find combination of privacy, usable acreage, natural beauty, completed infrastructure, and ready-to-build convenience. View the property video and LandID map for additional details.

Agricultural One District
To provide areas for a wide range of farming, ranching, or tree farming activities and the preservation of such land for its open rural character providing a physical and visual separation between urban centers.; Urban development within this district is strongly discouraged.
