Only once in a lifetime does 8.86 full acres bordering the City of Del Norte come available. The same families have owned this gorgeous acreage for decades, and are finally ready to let it be acquired by a visionary who can make it into something new. Adjacent to the Lookout Mountain Trailhead and open space park, which is 200 acres of open space for hiking and biking, this gently rolling and mostly flat lot will captivate you with spectacular views. At the very southern end of Spruce Street, just at the trailhead, and backing the famous Del Norte Lookout Mountain, the property lines are almost the same as the hiking and biking trails. Build your dream luxury home, surrounded by nature, ensuring privacy and exclusivity. Imagine a LEED certified home such as rammed earth walls with a trombe wall, and curved walls of windows to take in the breathtaking views. With plenty of local materials and green architects, this stunning location provides so much potential to build a home that will last for decades. Almost 9 acres means the possibility of a private horse property and any other livestock for a hobby farm or animal rescue. You could also be a part of the solution, and try your hand at a much-needed local housing project. You must be an experienced builder, or have a great project manager to begin dreaming about building. Consult with the Town of Del Norte and Rio Grande County as it relates to all these use and zoning ideas, and tying into water, sewer, electricity, and fiber optic WiFi. Or build your dream off-grid home, capturing the ample year-round sunlight for solar power.
