Property Description
Lot 8 of just 12 homesites in the Benchmark subdivision sits at the end of a cul-de-sac on 2.22 rolling acres, bordered by permanently protected Open Space. That distinction matters. Nothing will rise behind you to interrupt a view that stretches from Eldorado Canyon and the Flatirons north to Longs Peak, then opens east across the plains. To the west, sunset becomes part of the architecture before you have drawn the first line.
And unlike most raw land, much of the unglamorous work between buying a lot and beginning a home has already been done.
The home that once stood here was lost in the December 31, 2021 Marshall Fire. Boulder County has since completed debris removal, and the soil has been tested and cleared. The property qualifies for fast-tracked permitting under Boulder County Land Use Code Article 19-500, with a current plat and soil report available upon request.
The rolling topography creates possibilities a flat lot cannot, including potential walkout siting. Zoned ER, with public water and electric, gas, cable and phone at the lot. Benchmark HOA is self-managed at approximately $200 annually, with no additional architectural design review.
Approximately 8 miles from Downtown Boulder, within the Boulder Valley RE-2 School District and convenient to Louisville, Lafayette, Denver, DIA and the high country. An incredible opportunity for legacy land in Boulder.
2.22 acres. Protected Open Space. One extraordinary Colorado horizon.

With more than 20 years in Douglas County, I bring both local knowledge and a personal understanding of how our housing needs change through different seasons of life. As an empty nester who has also experienced multi-generational living firsthand, I especially enjoy helping clients think through what they need from a home today—and what will serve them well in the years ahead.
My approach to real estate is shaped by a diverse professional background. I earned a law degree and spent years in senior corporate leadership, including leading a business division responsible for product acquisition and development, sales, marketing, and overall performance. Today, alongside our real estate business, we own a residential remodeling and handyman company. That combination brings business leadership, strategic negotiation, marketing expertise, legal education, and hands-on knowledge of homes to every transaction.
For sellers, I help determine what’s worth doing—and what isn’t—to prepare and position a home for the best possible result. When updates make sense, our pay-at-close renovation option can help coordinate practical improvements without requiring upfront payment. For buyers, I bring the same thoughtful approach to evaluating a home’s condition, potential, functionality, and long-term value.
Above all, I’m a calm, strategic, and hands-on partner who believes great representation is personal. Whether I’m developing a pricing strategy, negotiating on your behalf, coordinating contractors and staging, or hanging curtains before photos, I treat your move with the same care I would my own.
