What's special
Get ready to exhale on the front porch of your very own ranch house with expansive views of the magnificent Sangre de Cristo range and the sounds of Goodwin Creek in the foreground.
Surrounded on all sides by 80-acre-plus ranches, this unique small-acreage horse property with sub-irrigated hay fields and spacious, 4-stall barn offers an affordable opportunity to own a unique slice of the remarkable Wet Mountain Valley floor.
The Ranch House
This sweet ranchette property includes a cozy 2-bedroom, 1-bath home with vaulted ceilings, wood floors, wood-burning stove, an open-plan living room with panoramic views, large kitchen featuring a vintage, two-oven, six-burner commercial Wolf stove with griddle, oak cabinetry, ample storage, a breakfast bar and Bosch dishwasher. The full bathroom/laundry comes with the convenience of a front-loading washer and dryer.
The property is located off a paved, county-maintained road for year-round access and is only five miles away from the authentic Western town of Westcliffe, Colo. and minutes from Sangre de Cristo trailheads.
With elk herds meandering through on fall mornings and coyotes singing at dusk, the ranchette makes for an ideal weekend retreat or potential stage from which to build your dream home.
About Westcliffe and Silver Cliff, Colorado
The twin towns of Westcliffe and Silver Cliff in south-central Colorado are authentic, Western communities with a long history of silver mining, ranching, pristine winters and gorgeous wildflower displays sprawling across the Wet Mountain Valley come late Spring.
Quiet and friendly, the towns come alive in the summer with parades, the Wet Mountain Valley Stampede Rodeo, Dark Skies parties (the towns are among only five Dark Skies communities in the state), family reunions, hikers and fishers heading to sparkling alpine lakes, trail riders and off roaders. Three Colorado 14ers -- Humboldt, Crestone Peak and Crestone Needle -- are accessible from South Colony Lake Basin.
In the fall, hunters look to the Wet Mountains and Sangres to track turkey, elk and deer. The dazzling winter brings chances to snowshoe, snow mobile and back country ski or head to Ski Monarch just over an hour away.
This beautiful Brigadoon of a place is located 3 hours from Denver, 2 hours from Colorado Springs, 1 hour from Pueblo and Canon City.
