Land, Views & Agricultural Use

Rolling meadows, elevated view corridors, and preserved open space define the land at Lemon Gulch. The property occupies one of the area’s most prominent vantage points, with sweeping lake and long-range mountain views that deliver a rare sense of scale and horizon.
Nearly 20 acres are fenced and suitable for livestock or horses, supported by automated irrigation serving the greenhouse, raised gardens, and established fruit trees. The land benefits from agricultural zoning and a well permit allowing domestic use, livestock watering, and irrigation of up to one acre—an increasingly rare combination this close to the Denver Tech Center.
Importantly, while the acreage provides privacy and flexibility, routine maintenance is intentionally concentrated around the residence, with the balance of the land remaining naturally preserved. Owners enjoy the benefits of scale and open land without the burden of maintaining the full acreage as active grounds.
A Home Designed for Comfort, Scale & Longevity
The European-inspired residence spans nearly 11,000 square feet across three levels, blending architectural presence with modern systems and livability. Expansive windows frame the surrounding landscape, while generous gathering spaces support both everyday living and larger-scale entertaining.
The home includes seven bedrooms and eight baths, multiple fireplaces, and flexible rooms for office, fitness, or recreation. The chef’s kitchen is equipped with GE Monogram appliances, dual refrigerators, a 48-inch range, warming drawer, and a butler’s pantry with wine cooler and dishwasher—well suited for hosting, extended stays, or long-term provisioning.
The primary suite offers a fireplace, vaulted ceiling, jetted tub, heated toilet, and walk-in closet with cedar storage. Additional highlights include a recreation room with wet bar and second kitchen, a home theater with tiered seating and 4K projection, and multiple decks and patios with outdoor audio.
Resort-Style Recreation & Outdoor Living
Outdoor amenities transform the property into a private retreat: a lighted sport court, gazebo with fireplace and power, outdoor kitchen and bar, hot tub, zip line, and manicured grounds with gravel paths and mature landscaping. Panoramic sunsets over the Front Range and Pikes Peak complete the experience.
The surrounding Douglas County foothills provide convenient access to hiking, riding, fishing, and regional trail networks, while the property’s location within a secure, gated ranch community ensures privacy without isolation.
Resilience by Design (Optional, Not Required)
7615 Lemon Gulch Way was purpose-built to offer resilience and independence as an option, not a requirement. Redundant systems include an integrated solar array with battery storage, multiple generators, on-site fuel and propane reserves, and a private well—allowing owners to live conventionally while maintaining the ability to operate independently when desired.
Additional features include radiant heat, central vacuum, whole-house fire sprinklers, monitored security, concrete and stucco construction, and a concealed storage/panic room—providing peace of mind without sacrificing comfort or aesthetics.
Location, Access & Financial Advantages
Located in unincorporated Douglas County, the property offers added privacy and regulatory flexibility. It is approximately 12 minutes to Castle Rock’s dining and services, 20 minutes to Park Meadows and Dove Valley, and under an hour to Denver International Airport.
An agricultural designation may significantly reduce property taxes while preserving land-use flexibility. HOA services include road maintenance and snow removal, supporting a low-friction ownership experience within the gated community.
The Colorado Lifestyle—On Your Terms
More than a residence, 7615 Lemon Gulch Way represents a rare opportunity to own meaningful land with choice built in: the choice to live simply or expansively, independently or conventionally, privately yet connected.
The current offering also provides flexibility for buyers who wish to personalize aspects of the residence over time. The seller understands that ownership at this level often includes tailoring spaces to individual preferences and is open to structuring thoughtful solutions that support customization as part of an overall transaction.
Whether envisioned as a primary residence, a multigenerational retreat, or a long-term legacy property, Lemon Gulch delivers privacy, capability, and flexibility—without compromise.
