Opportunity in the pines—½+ acre in Douglas County for just $22,500.

Tucked into a dense mix of towering Ponderosa and Douglas fir, this lot offers that hard-to-find “off-the-grid” Colorado feel, yet it’s only about a mile from Bear Dance Golf Course and a few more to Larkspur and Castle Rock. It backs to a large ranch, so you’re not staring into another parcel—just open space and trees.

Let’s be clear: this is a buy-and-hold play. No building yet. The area will need road upgrades and full utilities (water, sewer, gas, electric) before anything can go vertical—and there’s no set timeline. No wells, no septic, no shortcuts.

What you do get: mature trees, room to grow (eventually), low taxes, no HOA, and a piece of land in a steadily growing county that you can lock in at a very approachable price point.

Access keeps it quiet—vehicle traffic is restricted, so you’ll hike roughly half a half mile in. No camping, RVs, or livestock, which helps preserve the area long-term.

Bottom line: if you’re looking for a low-cost entry into land ownership with future upside—and you’re willing to play the long game—this checks the box.
