Getaway Ranchland in Southern Colorado
Build your getaway 5 miles northwest of Walsenburg on a parcel of the Gordon Ranch. Far enough from the crowd and close enough for convenience, this Huerfano County ranchland features layers of fantastic views.
Peaceful beauty extends from the Spanish Peaks to the western end of Greenhorn Mountain. Pikes Peak highlights the northern vista with Fishers Peak to the south. All this exceptional scenery surrounds the 1,709,294 square-foot ranch—most especially from the top of the steep bluff.
New Rural Subdivision
Once part of the large Gordon Ranch, this Southern Colorado property for sale now sits in a new rural subdivision that allows for livestock and grazing. The property includes 825.43 feet of frontage. It faces eastward.
Grazing the Terrain
Livestock make their way along the rolling hills and rock outcroppings. In addition, elk, deer, and antelope enjoy wandering through the pristine land. Smartly, the owners established a grazing lease. Leases are common in this agricultural community. The lease helps keep the property taxes low. In 2023, taxes assessed for Parcel #16284 (known as Lot #4) were 19.63.
Improvements
In addition to establishing grazing rights, the seller has made significant improvements. Helpful features include:
- Graveled access road
- Leveled, graveled pad area (200’ x 300’) for a shop.
- Excavation and leveling around the property.
- Extensive cleanup of debris from the old school building
- Northend fencing.
- Outbuildings
- Cistern
- Septic tank, hook up installed.
