Welcome to lot 78 in filing 9 of Elk Springs, where the mountain views are the most expansive, spanning from Sunlight ski resort to the West and Basalt Mountain to the East with iconic Mt. Sopris front and center. Lot 78 is the first homesite on the left as you enter filing 9 along Elk Springs Drive, offering a driveway orientation either behind the house (with views in front) or on the side of the house. Open space teeming with elk and other wildlife is adjacent to the lot, to the west. With 3.01 total acres and a building envelope of about 14,000 sq. ft., this homesite offers the freedom for a spacious house or plenty of elbow room for a modest home. All utilities (natural gas, electric, community water and sewer lines) have been installed on the lot line. Water and sewer tap fees are paid (a $17,000+ value). Elk Springs is a gated community with private access to walking and biking trails on 1,100 acres of open space and located just 20 minutes to Glenwood Springs and Carbondale and 45 minutes to skiing and amenities in Aspen and Snowmass Village. A recent Existing Conditions Map (survey) is available upon request.
