Wooded, with a diverse topography that includes meadows, mesas, and a nearly hidden rimrock canyon, this nearly 72-acre parcel is located in Pueblo County’s quiet, unspoiled ranch country, and would make an ideal hobby ranch, or residential ranch property. This property offers stunning mountain views, from the Spanish Peaks to Pikes Peak. Level terrain on the property’s west end provides numerous building sites close to utilities along Railroad Springs Road. The landscape becomes more dramatic deeper into the parcel’s east side, with a rimrock canyon straight out of a western film set, and promontories offering amazing views of the prairies to the east. There’s next to no vehicle traffic in this area, creating a tranquil environment to hike, ride a horse, watch the abundant wildlife that will visit this property, or simply take in the peace and quiet of this special spot. This buildable parcel is easily accessed year-round. Utility providers for this region include: San Isabel Electric and Rye Telephone; fiber-optic service (Highline) is widely available in the Hatchet Ranch area. The property meets the acreage requirement for a domestic well permit. Neighboring wells are under 400’, and have good production rates. If a new owner chooses to build, a home must be at least 1,500 sf; a separate guest house is allowed, as well as shops, barns, arenas, and corrals. The recreational opportunities offered by the San Isabel National Forest, the Arkansas River, and Lake Pueblo are within easy reach. The small town of Colorado City is just 12 miles away; Pueblo is 30 miles north; and the Colorado Springs airport is 76 miles north, generally well under a 1-hour drive via I-25.
