Located in the rugged and scenic mountains of southern Colorado, this 40+/- acre recreational and hunting property in Fremont County offers privacy, elevation, public land access, and outstanding wildlife habitat. Bordering approximately 82+/- acres of BLM land with access to thousands of additional nearby public acres, this property presents a rare opportunity for buyers seeking a mountain retreat, hunting basecamp, or future homesite surrounded by some of Colorado’s most impressive landscapes.

The property includes the western peak of the mountain, reaching approximately 8,080 feet in elevation. From the higher elevations, the views are exceptional and stretch across multiple mountain ranges, including the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, the Wet Mountains, the Collegiate Peaks, and even Pikes Peak. The combination of forested hillsides, open meadows, and elevated vantage points creates a truly unique mountain setting.

This Fremont County acreage features a heavily wooded landscape with multiple potential build locations. An open meadow near the northwest corner offers an ideal setting for a cabin, mountain getaway, or full-time residence with commanding views and natural privacy. County-maintained road access provides reliable entry to the property, while an old internal road system leads toward the top of the peak and offers additional access throughout the acreage. The terrain supports a wide variety of recreational uses including hiking, ATV riding, camping, wildlife viewing, and hunting.

A private well is already located on the parcel, adding immediate value for future improvements or seasonal use. Electric lines are located nearby, creating additional development potential for those looking to build off-grid or partially serviced mountain properties. The area remains remote and peaceful while still offering access to nearby services. A local store, gas station, and volunteer fire department are located approximately five miles away. Larger amenities, restaurants, and supplies can be found in nearby Westcliffe, and Texas Creek, while medical facilities are available in Cañon City, Salida, and Pueblo.

The property lies within Colorado Parks and Wildlife Game Management Unit 691, an area known for strong populations of mule deer, turkey, and black bear. Elk, mountain lion, and Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep are also known to inhabit the surrounding region. With direct access to adjoining BLM land and expansive nearby public ground, hunters and outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the recreational opportunities available directly from the property.

In addition to outstanding hunting and mountain recreation, the property is located near the renowned Arkansas River, one of Colorado’s premier trout fishing destinations. The Arkansas River is nationally recognized for its excellent fly fishing and rafting opportunities, drawing anglers from across the country in pursuit of trophy brown and rainbow trout. Convenient access to the river adds another major recreational component to this already versatile mountain property.

The eastern edge of the property was impacted during the 2002 Iron Mountain Fire, creating a varied habitat mix that now supports healthy wildlife movement and natural regeneration throughout portions of the landscape. The blend of mature timber, regrowth, open areas, and mountain terrain contributes to both the beauty and functionality of the property.

Whether you are searching for a private mountain getaway, a recreational basecamp bordering public land, or a scenic Colorado property with build potential and year-round outdoor opportunities, this Fremont County acreage offers a combination of views, wildlife, access, and privacy that is increasingly difficult to find.
