About This Home

A rare land opportunity awaits in Boulder's prestigious Hillcrest neighborhood - this expansive 20,465-square-foot building lot showcases breathtaking, unobstructed views of the Flatirons and Mount Sanitas. Nestled on coveted Balsam Drive, this prime property sits on a curve, maximizing panoramic vistas. One of the last remaining undeveloped view lots, it provides an unparalleled opportunity to create a custom dream home. This property slopes down to Goose Creek, ensuring privacy on the north side while showcasing sparkling city lights at night. Surrounding properties have been transformed into architecturally significant homes, making this a highly sought-after enclave. With buried power lines preserving the unspoiled scenery, this lot is primed for redevelopment with anticipation for the current residence to be torn down.
