About 774 Cougar Drive

Rare 35-Acre Boulder County Canvas – Infrastructure in Place

Escape to the high country and stake your claim on this magnificent 35.25-acre parcel in the coveted Walker Ranch area. 774 Cougar Drive represents a distinct opportunity for the visionary buyer to craft a custom residence in the foothills of Boulder, CO.

Previously the site of a 2 bedroom residence, this property offers a significant "head start" over raw land. Essential infrastructure components are present, including an existing driveway cut and United Power electric lines already installed underground to the homesite. This creates a prime building envelope that invites your architect’s creativity, whether you envision a modern mountain retreat or a sustainable estate.

The topography is a stunning example of the Colorado Front Range, featuring privacy, native timber, and expansive views. The land holds the history of the region, featuring unique historical mining characteristics that add distinct character to the grounds. While the driveway requires grading and the landscape invites active stewardship regarding vegetation management, the sheer scale of the parcel ensures your privacy is preserved.

Buyer Opportunity: This is a transparent offering for those seeking a project with high reward. The property is sold in its current condition ("as-is"). Buyers are advised to verify all building eligibility, zoning regulations, well permit status, and septic requirements with Boulder County Land Use to confirm their specific development goals. Buyer is also advised to independently investigate all matters related to prior fire damage, remediation, rebuilding feasibility, insurability, utilities, septic, well, soils, drainage, and county requirements.

Don’t just buy land; secure a legacy. With 35 acres of freedom, the only limit is your imagination. Bring your builder and walk the site to fully appreciate the potential of this sleeping giant.
