The green shaded area on this map represents a prime parcel of approximately 21.4 acres—a large, open, vegetated field bordered by established residential subdivisions and key roadways like SE 40th Street and Interstate 470. This site offers an outstanding opportunity for building a single-family home, combining generous space, strategic location, natural appeal, and straightforward development potential.
The parcel's expansive size stands out immediately. At more than 21 acres, it dwarfs typical suburban lots, providing ample room for a custom-designed residence with expansive lawns, landscaped gardens, outdoor living spaces such as a patio, pool, or fire pit, detached garage, workshop, or even a small barn. The roughly triangular shape borders mature neighborhoods on several sides, delivering a sense of privacy and seclusion while staying integrated with the surrounding community. The mostly flat, open grassy terrain simplifies site preparation—minimal tree removal or heavy grading is needed—lowering construction costs and environmental impact compared to sloped, rocky, or densely wooded land.
Location advantages are significant. Proximity to SE 40th Street and Interstate 470 ensures excellent connectivity for commuting, errands, and access to urban amenities. Nearby subdivisions indicate reliable existing infrastructure: utilities like water, sewer, electricity, and natural gas are likely close or easily extendable, avoiding the prohibitive expenses of remote rural development. The established residential character of the area signals a desirable, family-friendly neighborhood with strong resale value and community stability.
Aesthetically and practically, the open green expanse creates an idyllic setting for a dream home. Abundant natural light supports energy-efficient designs (optimal solar orientation), while the spacious field allows creative landscaping—native plants, tree buffers for added privacy, walking paths, or even a small water feature. Outdoor activities become an extension of daily life, with room for gardening, recreation, or simply enjoying open-sky views in a peaceful environment.
From a practical building perspective, the site's position amid developed areas suggests favorable zoning and permitting conditions for residential use. Local regulations in growing suburban-adjacent zones often support single-family homes on larger parcels, especially with access to paved roads. The open nature minimizes complications from wetlands, steep slopes, or dense vegetation, allowing flexible placement of the home to maximize views, breezes, and functionality—perhaps centering it for panoramic surroundings or offsetting for a private courtyard feel.
In essence, this 21.4-acre green parcel merges rarity (substantial undeveloped land so close to conveniences), accessibility, serene natural beauty, and ease of development into an exceptional single-family home site. With thoughtful site planning, it offers the chance to create a spacious, personalized residence that delivers privacy, room to grow, and lasting quality of life in a vibrant, connected area—an outstanding opportunity for anyone seeking more than a standard lot.
