Elizabeth and Parker offer nearly all major services with the Denver area offering the best of everything. The growth along the Front Range of Colorado has spilled into western Elbert County making the property a candidate for development into smaller tracts.
The property is located off of an Elbert County Road known as Melting Shadows Way. Access is through Running Brook Estates off of CR 13 via Polo Run and Melting Shadows Way.
LOCALE
The Parker and Elizabeth areas have become bedroom communities for the greater Denver area. Major highlights of the area among others are the Colorado Horse Park which is becoming one of the premier equestrian event centers in the nation for the English disciplines. Centennial Airport offers one of the finest private airports both along the Front Range and in Colorado with its proximity to the Denver Tech Center as well as the Inverness and Meridian business centers.
The Parker and Elizabeth areas are some of the most highly sought after areas of the Denver Metro-Plex. While Denver is growing at a rapid pace, the direction of development is hemmed in by the mountains to the West and restrictions in both Douglas and Boulder County, leaving the easterly corridor as the best alternatives. Parker, CO has good arterial access via E-470 and Highway 83 to allow multi-directional transportation. The pine tree hills of western Elbert County are highly sought after locations with larger land parcels in limited supply.
ACREAGE
The Elbert County Assessor shows 110 acres of grasslands and creek bottom in the property boundaries. The property is being surveyed. The westerly orientation is ideally suited for the view corridor as well as views of Pikes Peak which looms to the southwest.
WATER RIGHTS

The ranch has adjudicated the underground “deep” water rights which allow for withdrawal of the water from the deep aquifers within the underlying Denver Basin. The deep water can be accessed by commercial wells for nearly any purpose available for annual withdrawal from each of the aquifers.
SUMMARY
The Melting Shadows Land Tract offers live water on Running Creek as well as the opportunity for three domestic wells and access to the deep-water aquifers.
