Property Description

Experience the profound stillness of the high country with this expansive 105-acre retreat, where the stars are brighter and the world feels entirely your own. Reaching elevations of 9,050 feet, this is more than just land—it is a sanctuary at the edge of the sky.

The exploration across this acreage begins in rolling blankets of blue sage, filling the air with that iconic, crisp high-desert fragrance. As you ascend, the terrain transforms into a lush forest of pinyon and juniper, eventually revealing hidden clearings and a rare local treasure: majestic Douglas Firs standing as ancient sentinels among the trees.

For those seeking a true escape, this property offers a premier off-grid experience. Whether you are looking to establish a sustainable homestead or a private getaway, you’ll find: Multiple campsite areas tucked away for immediate enjoyment; Rugged accessibility via a boundary-line trail that invites a sense of adventure (and a capable 4WD) to navigate the changing seasons; Unrivaled privacy afforded by over a hundred acres of wooded terrain.

The true crown jewel of this property lies to the east. The Sangre de Cristo Mountains dominate the horizon with their snow-capped peaks providing a dramatic backdrop to daily life. On certain evenings, you’ll witness the magic of the "Blood of Christ" mountains firsthand, as the setting sun paints the stone faces in breathtaking shades of violet and rose alpenglow.

Are you ready to find your place among the firs? This is a rare opportunity to own a significant piece of the Colorado high country, where the views are endless and the silence is priceless.
