Investor Special: This is a true investor special - a solid-bones property with great fundamentals but dated 1993 finishes (original cabinets, carpet, some dated tile, and builder-grade lighting). The home needs cosmetic updates and mechanical refreshes (kitchen/bath remodels, flooring, paint, and deferred maintenance), which means strong upside potential for equity building. Many similar homes on this golf course have sold for significantly higher prices after thoughtful renovations. The location is a major value driver: easy access to Boulder, Denver, and tech corridors, with the golf course providing a resort-like backyard every day. Wake up to sunrise over the Flatirons, watch golfers tee off from your patio, and enjoy Colorado's famous golden-hour light bathing the rock formations in the evenings. Whether you're looking to create a luxury rental, a family dream home, or a high-end flip, this house has the location, views, and layout to deliver excellent returns. Priced accordingly to reflect the work needed - bring your contractor and your vision. Ready to tour or want more details? This one won't last long in today's market. Sold strictly as is, no inspections, quick close, and better terms will take priority.

BUILDING/REMODEL OPPORTUNITY: Rare Eldorado Springs mountain property with 3 1/3 lots, exceptional opportunity for a remodel, buildable land or addition, and major infrastructure already in place. Set in one of Colorado's most iconic canyon communities near Eldorado Canyon State Park, world-class climbing, hiking, trails, and Eldorado Springs Resort, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to renovate, expand, or reimagine a truly unique foothills retreat. Unlike many Eldorado Springs properties, the lots have been improved to create a flat, functional front yard, generous outdoor space, and an unusually large brick/paver driveway with rare off-street parking. See drone photos for comparison. The property also features a substantial concrete bunker/garage structure of nearly 1,200 sq ft that may offer creative potential for parking, storage, patio space, workshop use, or future design integration. County records reflect approximately 2,066 sq ft including the home, enclosed porch, and carport/garage/bunker, and the seller notes county guidance may allow a larger finished footprint than typical local limitations. The city restricts building to 1500sqft and they have said this property can be grandfathered into nearly 2100. Additional highlights include connection to sewer, two Eldorado Springs water taps, and massive engineered french drain. The existing cabin offers charm, mountain character, fireplace, bedroom, bath, laundry, and renovation potential. Buyer to verify all square footage, taps, wells, expansion rights, and permitted uses.

Meet Little Brother - a charming 168-square-foot cabin with a story all its own. Tucked into a gorgeous creekside setting, this little structure has Willow Creek running through the property, giant mature trees overhead, and an easy walk to the cafe, coffee shop, restaurant, and quaint market.History lives in every corner here. Once used as an accessory dwelling, the cabin was outfitted in true mountain fashion - a propane-and-wood-fired refrigerator and an incinerator toilet. The appliances have since been removed, but the character and the possibilities remain. With both propane and electric already on site, the groundwork is laid for whatever you can imagine. A historical designation may be possible for those drawn to preserving its legacy.And the possibilities are the real treat. Picture a cozy bunkhouse for summer guests, a private guest house with creek views, a quiet art or writing studio, a home office set apart, or a charming retreat all its own. Small in footprint but big in potential, the Little Brother is a rare blank canvas in a setting that's already perfect.Just 30 minutes from Boulder or Longmont and 1 hr 20 min to DIA on a state-maintained road, this is mountain property with history, charm, and room to dream.
