16535 W 79th Dr Elevated Living. Extraordinary Views. Unlimited Potential. Ideally positioned atop a private ridgeline in one of Arvada's best-kept secrets, this extraordinary 2.168-acre property offers a rare opportunity to experience Colorado living at its most breathtaking. Sweeping 360-degree views encompass the mountains, city and surrounding open space, while the horse-friendly setting offers exceptional privacy, no HOA and direct access to miles of scenic trails. Thoughtfully remodeled, the ranch-style home blends warmth and modern style with vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, hardwood flooring and expansive windows that invite the outdoors in. Bathed in natural light, the open-concept design flows from an inviting family room with a gas fireplace into a beautiful kitchen featuring a generous island, breakfast-bar seating, pantry, premium appliances and abundant workspace for everyday living and entertaining. The spacious primary suite provides a peaceful retreat with glass door opening to a private balcony, a walk-in closet and an en suite full bath. Two additional bedrooms offer flexibility for family, guests or a home office. More than 1, 500 square feet of unfinished walk-out basement space, currently accessed from the exterior, provides extensive storage today and exciting possibilities for tomorrow. Create an interior connection and finish the lower level, expand the existing footprint or reimagine the property as a substantially larger custom acreage estate. This is a home buyers can enjoy now and transform over time to fit their ultimate vision. Outdoor living is equally impressive. Enjoy spectacular sunrises from the front porch, relax on the expansive deck or covered patio, and gather around the fire pit beneath Colorado's endless skies. An insulated outbuilding, chicken coop, oversized garage and ample off-street parking add functionality and country character. The expansive site offers room for horses, gardens, hobby farming, a future barn or additional improvements. Be sure to explore the conceptual barn images included in the gallery. They bring the property's equestrian possibilities vividly to life, illustrating how naturally the land could accommodate a beautiful barn, corrals, horses and the Colorado lifestyle buyers dream about but rarely find this close to the city. Bordering protected open space on a quiet cul-de-sac, the property feels wonderfully secluded while remaining connected to the best of West Arvada. More than 65 miles of interconnected community trails and neighborhood parks create outstanding opportunities for hiking, biking, horseback riding and year-round recreation. Shopping, dining and highly regarded Jefferson County schools are just minutes away. The nearby Apex Center offers pools, ice rinks, climbing walls, gymnasiums and an indoor playground. With convenient access to Golden, Boulder, downtown Denver and the mountains, this remarkable property delivers the perfect balance of peaceful country living, extraordinary future potential and everyday convenience.
