Is there new construction for sale in the mountains near Boulder with acreage and city views?
Yes. 300 Shining Star Trl #A is a planned new home on 30.72 acres in the Gold Hill area of unincorporated Boulder County, with 360-degree views from snow-capped peaks to the lights of Boulder and a well, septic system, and utilities already installed, according to the listing.
Buying new construction in the mountains usually means managing every step yourself: finding land, drilling a well, permitting septic, hiring an architect, and working through the build. 300 Shining Star Trl #A, listed by The Bernardi Group, pairs a private 30-acre site with a planned home, so buyers can focus on the finished result.
Please note: this listing represents a home that is planned, not yet built. The details below come from the MLS listing and are subject to change. Below, our Boulder Realtors explain what the listing describes and what buyers should confirm.
Where Is 300 Shining Star Trl #A?
The property has a Boulder mailing address (80302) and is located in the Gold Hill area of unincorporated Boulder County, west of the City of Boulder. Access is by private road with a road association in place, according to the listing. The MLS notes the road is not built to county standards.
Gold Hill is a historic mountain community with roots in Colorado's gold rush. Today it offers a quiet, forested setting with views across the foothills, within driving distance of Boulder.
The Setting: 30 Acres and 360-Degree Views
According to the MLS, the home site sits on approximately 30.72 acres of sloping mountain land with evergreen and deciduous trees, native grasses, and rock outcroppings. According to the listing, views stretch in every direction, from snow-capped peaks to the city lights of Boulder below.
The MLS lists views of the back range and snow-capped peaks, the foothills, the plains, and the city.
The Planned Home
According to the MLS, the planned home is a two-story contemporary design with 3 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, an attached two-car garage, and a walk-out basement. The MLS lists a year built of 2026.
Features listed in the MLS include:
- A full, walk-out basement
- A gas fireplace
- Forced-air heating and central air
- A full primary bath
- A deck, patio, and balcony
According to the listing, architectural plans are available upon request to qualified buyers. Square footage and finishes for a planned home can differ between plan documents and MLS entries, so request the full plan set and specifications and confirm the details with our team before relying on any figures.
Infrastructure Already in Place
According to the listing:
- The well is installed and operational
- The septic system is installed and operational
- Utilities are installed and operational
These are often among the most time-consuming and unpredictable parts of building in the mountains, so having them in place is a significant advantage.
What Buyers Should Confirm for a Planned Home
Buying a home that is not yet built is different from buying an existing home. Our Realtors recommend confirming:
- Approval and permit status. The listing references approved plans, while the MLS lists the development status as plans submitted. Verify the current status with Boulder County Community Planning and Permitting.
- Who builds the home, and how. Ask who the builder is, what the construction contract includes, and how timelines, changes, and costs are handled.
- Plans and specifications. Review the full architectural plans, finish specifications, and any allowances.
- Warranties. Ask what warranties come with new construction.
- Well and septic capacity. Confirm the systems match the planned home. For water questions, consult a qualified Colorado water rights attorney.
- Road association terms. Review dues, maintenance, and winter access.
- Wildfire mitigation and insurance. Understand any requirements and explore insurance availability early.
For legal questions about contracts or permits, consult a qualified real estate attorney.
