Breckenridge Real Estate • Summit County • 705 Discovery Hill Drive
1.79 Acres Above the Elk Course, With a Building Envelope Already Platted
Most of what is left to buy in Breckenridge is either a small lot with a house already crowding it, or a parcel where the view costs you the driveway. This one is 1.79 acres on the uphill side of Discovery Hill Drive, sitting above the Elk Course at Breckenridge Golf Club, looking across the valley at the Tenmile Range. The recorded plat already defines a building envelope, so an architect starts with a known footprint instead of guessing. Water, sewer and electricity are available at the street, the road is paved with twelve month access, and the association runs $150 a year with no metro district stacked on top of it.
I am Tucker Zimmerman, Associate Broker with Slifer Smith & Frampton, and this is my listing. I have flown this lot and walked the street. Call or text me and I will send you the plat and the building envelope and tell you what belongs on this ground.

What stands out
- 1.79 acres. That is a big parcel for the Highlands, and it is what puts distance between you and the neighbors instead of a property line.
- The lot sits above the Elk Course at Breckenridge Golf Club, so the view across the valley to the Tenmile Range is yours, not borrowed from the house across the street.
- The building envelope is already platted at roughly 9,800 square feet. Your architect starts with a defined footprint on day one.
- City water, city sewer, electricity and natural gas at the street.
- Paved frontage on Discovery Hill Drive with year round access.
- $150 a year to the association. No metro district. No resort fee.
- A public trail easement runs along the lot straight into the hiking and mountain biking network.
- Mature trees across the parcel, so the privacy is already grown in.

Where the house goes
The images below show the parcel boundary in orange and the platted building envelope in cyan. The envelope runs roughly 9,800 square feet and sits toward the street side, where the grade works and the utilities are close. That is the good end of the lot to build on: shorter driveway, shorter utility runs, and the view already lined up. Most Breckenridge land makes you solve that puzzle yourself. Here it is solved on the plat.
The lot lines and building envelope drawn on these images are estimates, shown for illustration only. They are not a survey and should not be relied on for boundary, setback or disturbance limits. Work from the recorded plat, and order a survey if corner locations matter to your design. I will send you the plat.
The view
You look over the Elk Course at Breckenridge Golf Club, across the valley floor, and straight into the Tenmile Range. The foreground is a golf course the Town of Breckenridge owns outright, one of three Jack Nicklaus nines and the only 27 holes of Nicklaus golf owned by a municipality anywhere. That is the kind of foreground you cannot buy and cannot lose.
The slope is the reason for the view
The grade is what lifts you above the golf course and puts the range in the window instead of the neighbor's roofline. It is also what a good architect wants: a walkout lower level, decks that step with the hill, a garage tucked into the grade so it does not dominate the front of the house. The trees are mature across the parcel, so the privacy is grown in already. And the trail you can see crossing the lower ground puts you on the hiking and mountain biking network without getting in the car.
Access and the street
Discovery Hill Drive is paved right to the lot, access is year round, and the frontage is real road frontage rather than a long shared easement down someone else's driveway. In Summit County that is the whole difference between a building site and a project, and it is why land like this holds value.
The setting
The Highlands at Breckenridge is an established neighborhood of large lots and substantial homes on the north side of town, off Tiger Road, with downtown Breckenridge a few miles away. Gold Run Nordic Center runs its winter operation out of the golf clubhouse at 200 Clubhouse Drive, so the same ground you are looking at in August is groomed Nordic terrain in January.
