Property Description

Build your dream mountain home in the highly desirable Highland Lakes subdivision, located just northwest of Divide. This beautiful, build-ready, RARE 5+ acre lot offers multiple potential home sites ideal for building a custom design with a walk-out lower level. Whether you prefer to nestle your home among the trees or position it for mountain views, the land offers both flexibility and charm. Utilities are already at the lot line, and water is provided by the Highland Lakes Water District, making the process of building even more convenient. Surrounded by a mix of mature pine and aspen trees, the property offers natural privacy and year-round beauty. It's a true haven for outdoor lovers, with direct access to activities like hiking, mountain biking, ATV riding, hunting, fishing, and cross-country skiing right from your backyard. The community maintains nine private lakes for recreational use, offering residents unique access to peaceful fishing spots and scenic relaxation. Located just off the HWY 24 corridor, you’ll enjoy quick trips to Cripple Creek, less than 25 miles away, and Colorado Springs, just over an hour’s drive—giving you the perfect balance of wilderness and city convenience. Highland Lakes is a covenanted community with an active Property Owners' Association (HLPOA) and an Architectural Control Committee that help maintain high neighborhood standards. The Highland Lakes Water District (separate from the HLPOA) is run by resident members and manages not only the water supply but also the maintenance of the lakes and dams. The HLPOA also organizes community events and oversees the care of shared spaces. If you're looking to build in a well-maintained mountain community where outdoor adventure is part of everyday life, the community is peaceful, roads are plowed, utilities are easily accessible AND you want land to spread out this property is a must-see.
