170.68 Acres Bordering National Forest — Colorado Mountain Hunting & Ranch Property. Rarely does a property offer this combination of acreage, privacy, National Forest frontage, wildlife habitat, water, and improvements already in place. With a half mile of direct National Forest boundary, this property offers expansive private acreage and immediate access to thousands of acres of adjoining public mountain landscape providing opportunities for hunting, wildlife viewing, hiking, horseback riding, and outdoor recreation. Elevations range from 6,620 to 7,100 feet, with terrain that includes both usable ground and timbered ridges and a diverse landscape ranging from open meadows and oak brush to tall pines, spruce, and aspen. Located in GMU 69, the property is an excellent hunting and recreational holding with elk, deer, and bear in the area and it qualifies for the Landowner Preference Program. A seasonal creek and pond add to the property's appeal and wildlife habitat. Improvements include a solar system, two domestic wells, RV pads, Conex boxes, new road, and a roughed-in road providing access into the interior of the property. Quality smooth-wire fencing surrounds nearly the entire perimeter, making the property well suited for horses. The property is sub-dividable, subject to applicable regulations, giving investors and families flexible options for future development or possible conservation easements.
While the property offers exceptional privacy and an off-grid mountain setting, it is also conveniently positioned near some of Southern Colorado’s best-known attractions. Historic downtown Florence offers antique shopping, local dining, galleries, and small-town Colorado character. The Royal Gorge and Arkansas River are approximately 15 minutes away, providing access to rafting, fishing, hiking, scenic overlooks, the Royal Gorge Bridge, and the Royal Gorge Route Railroad. Colorado Springs Airport (COS), is approximately 1 hour 15 minutes away.
