Perched atop a serene hill in one of Arvada’s most coveted hidden pockets, 16535 W 79th Drive is a truly rare offering. This horse-friendly property spans 2.168 acres w/ direct access to open space & uninterrupted views as far as the eye can see. Properties like this are nearly impossible to find: set high above the city, w/ no rear neighbors, incredible privacy, & a natural setting that feels like a world apart, yet still just minutes from parks, scenic trails, top-rated schools, shopping, dining, & major commuter routes. The existing home is a warm & inviting ranch-style retreat, thoughtfully redesigned for comfort & everyday living. Vaulted ceilings, large sun-filled windows, & an open-concept floor plan create an easy flow between the living room, kitchen, & dining areas. The kitchen is equipped w/ high-end appliances & plenty of counter space. The primary suite is spacious & calming, offering a private escape at the end of the day, & the additional bedroom & living areas make the home functional for families, guests, or even multi-generational living. The elevated lot opens up a world of possibility. Whether you choose to enjoy the home as-is, expand w/ a pop-top addition, or pursue a full custom rebuild, the future here is limitless. A two-story structure would unlock jaw-dropping 360-degree views—from the sweeping Front Range to the glittering lights of downtown Denver, & everything in between. There’s space for horses, a barn, gardens, outdoor entertaining areas, or even your own hiking & riding trails. The property backs to protected open space, giving it a sense of freedom & solitude that’s becoming increasingly rare in the Denver metro area. And because it's tucked away on a quiet, dead-end street, the atmosphere is calm & unhurried—an ideal setting for those who value both community connection & the retreat of nature. Properties w/ this combination of land, location, privacy, & long-term potential are nearly impossible to replicate.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
