Keenesburg 301 Development Site

Over 300 acres of agricultural land strategically positioned in the path of future growth and primed to annex into Keenesburg with current city limits on all sides of the property. Situated within Keenesburg's designated future growth area for a business park development, this property offers a compelling investment opportunity in a rapidly expanding community. The land is currently leased by a tenant farmer.

Land

The 301-acre parcel offers exceptional visibility and access with over 600 feet of direct frontage along I-76 and more than 3,150 feet along the I-76 Frontage Road, providing multiple convenient access points. Power and municipal water are already in place along the entire length of I-76 frontage road.  Approximately 19 acres lie within the existing road right-of-way, leaving roughly 282 net acres ready for development. Of this acreage, 231 acres consist of native grass and grazing land, while 51 acres are currently in dryland farm production. The site is predominantly level with only minor undulation, minimizing grading requirements and supporting efficient future development.

Improvements

The parcel is largely unimproved, featuring only perimeter fencing and one cross fence. There are no active or producing oil and gas facilities on the property. The site does contain four legacy oil and gas wells, all of which have been fully plugged and abandoned. With its open, unimproved character and location within a growing community, the property offers a unique blank slate for future development opportunities.
