Tessa Mesa offers much more than simply an opportunity to build a home on one of the most sought-after expanses of land on the Colorado front-range. Pristine and purposely private, Tessa Mesa could become the centerpiece of your family's legacy. Only 30 miles south of Denver - Tessa Mesa offers a fortunate few families the opportunity to share in an extraordinary vision in a secure and pristine environment for generations to come.
Expansive view corridors offered from site to site. To the south rises Pikes Peak, the inspiration for Katharine Lee Bates' famous song "America the Beautiful." To the north and west, dramatic scenes of Mount Evans and the Colorado Rockies unfold. And to the northeast, when the sun begins to sink, city lights illuminate the evening sky.
Sixteen families will share over six hundred acres of striking, natural beauty, subtly tucked away in this jewel of a private community. The 35 to 41 acre homestead sites are minutes away from the big city entertainment and shopping of Denver, yet a world away from the deafening roar of city life. You and your family can take in all that Denver has to offer and be back in front of the fire with hot cocoa in hand before the enthusiasm begins to dim.
Tessa Mesa is that extraordinary combination of a refined country lifestyle delicately intertwined with all the intellectual and cultural stimulation afforded by big city life. A rare combination indeed.
