Property Description
Private 55-Acre Colorado Retreat – Just 10 Minutes to Westcliffe!
Discover your Colorado haven on this rare 55-acre retreat, perfectly located just 10 minutes from the mountain town of Westcliffe. A picturesque blend of towering Ponderosa pines and open rolling meadows creates both beauty and functionality. Fully fenced and cross-fenced, the land is ready for horses, livestock, or your dream farmstead. With room to roam and a landscape that inspires, this property provides a true sense of freedom while still being close to town conveniences.
From the upper elevations, you'll enjoy sweeping views of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, where every sunrise and sunset paints the horizon with color. Wildlife is abundant, with deer and elk regularly passing through, adding to the authentic mountain setting. In the evenings, settle onto the covered porch and take in the unmatched night skies—this property lies within Westcliffe's internationally recognized Dark Sky Community, making stargazing a nightly spectacle.
The inviting 3-bedroom, 3-bath home is designed for comfort and practicality, featuring rustic wood cabinetry, hard-surface flooring, and central electric service. It's perfectly suited for year-round living, a weekend retreat, or even an income-producing homestead. Complementing the home is a 748 SF shop with 220 power and a wood stove, giving you the ideal space for projects, storage, or hobbies—whether you're a craftsman, hobby farmer, or simply need extra room for your equipment.
This property is more than a home; it's an opportunity. Whether you envision running livestock, starting a small farmette, or simply enjoying the quiet beauty of the Colorado mountains, the options are endless. With its combination of privacy, natural beauty, and proximity to town, this is a rare chance to own a piece of land that offers both lifestyle and livelihood in one of Colorado's most scenic valleys.
