This is the one-acre-plus property many buyers look for but rarely find inside the metro: a solid raised-ranch home offering practical living spaces, a large level corner lot, and genuine equine/hobby-farm potential. Situated at the end of a quiet closed street, 13952 W 78th Pl delivers privacy, views of the foothills, and the flexibility to add the shop, barn or stables you've been planning.
Step inside to discover a generous main level with an open living/dining flow and a well-proportioned kitchen that includes plentiful cabinet storage and a pantry — spaces ideal for everyday life and entertaining. The main floor contains three bedrooms and two full bathrooms, while the walkout lower level expands the usable footprint with a large family room warmed by a wood-burning stove, a full bathroom, a bedroom with full-window egress, and a very large non-conforming bedroom at the hall end. A substantial unfinished room — already roughed for a closet — provides a ready workshop, tack room, or the bones for an additional finished bedroom.
Outside, the freshly painted deck is a front-row seat to the pasture and mountain vista; the listing specifically highlights the property's suitability for horses, alpacas, goats and other small livestock. The parcel is fully fenced, has mature setback buffer, and offers multiple logical spots to site an oversized garage or barn. Practical upgrades— a new boiler and a new water filtration system—give buyers confidence in near-term mechanical reliability. Utilities include a private well and septic system with electric and natural gas connected.
For buyers who prioritize acreage without sacrificing access to suburban amenities, this home checks both boxes. Low-traffic placement, no HOA, and the rare opportunity to own a 1.24-acre lot this close to the Denver metro make this an appealing prospect for hobby-farm owners, car enthusiasts seeking a shop site, and anyone looking to expand living space with modest finishing work in the basement. Schedule a showing to tour the layout and the land—properties of this scale and flexibility are uncommon in Arvada.
West Arvada blends a semi-rural character with convenient suburban access. Properties often sit on larger lots compared with east-side neighborhoods, and buyers come here for privacy, views of the foothills, and room for hobby farming or shops. Olde Town Arvada’s restaurants and shops are a short drive away, while trails and open space provide outdoor recreation near the foothills.
West Arvada and the surrounding Jefferson County suburbs continue to show strong demand for properties with larger lots and equine capability. Inventory for parcels of 1+ acres near the metro is limited, supporting price resilience even as broader market conditions shift. Median single-family sale prices in the area are lower than this listing's price because this home carries a significant lot premium; buyers are paying for usable acreage, privacy and the option to add value with accessory structures. Typical market dynamics in early 2026 show relatively low inventory (sub-2 months) and average days on market in the mid-20s for similar properties, so well-priced acreage often draws quick interest. Verify local zoning and permitting constraints when evaluating cost-to-build for additional structures.

Strong access to open space, trails and foothills recreation; lot supports equestrian uses and outdoor hobbies.
Buyers seeking a mix of suburban accessibility and rural lot utility should consider this property for owner-occupier use with value-add upside by finishing basement space and adding permitted outbuildings (shop or stables). Because 1+ acre parcels are scarce near Denver, holding or modestly improving the property offers capital appreciation potential relative to standard subdivision homes.
Buyers should conduct independent due diligence before making any purchase decisions.
