About this home

One of the most beautiful parcels remaining in Creston, this 3+ acre lot is wooded but has a roughed in driveway and a cleared build pad with incredible layered mountain views of Crooked Creek Valley and miles beyond! Eastern and southern exposure ensure a light filled home! The build site sits above Creston Drive and there is lots of foliage between the site and the road to maintain privacy. Tree work has been done to open the views, and the listing photos are actual photos from the lot (not from a drone). New well installed in Spring 2021 and a 3-BR septic permit is on file (expired). Build your dream home or vacation retreat in a gated community full of wildlife, views, and upscale homes. Creston has its own hiking trails and Spectrum cable internet, and is surrounded by conservancy land and national forest. Creston is a spectacular exclusive mountain community, and this lot is one of the last premier view lots in the neighborhood! Watch Virtual Tour to see the panoramic views!
