Stunning Southern Colorado Ranch/Hunting/Recreation Land/Airstrip

This pristine mile-long by mile-and-a-half-wide (800 acre) Southern Colorado Acreage is located in

Huerfano County, Colorado, ten miles from Walsenburg, Colorado and ten miles east of Interstate 25,

between Pueblo and Trinidad.

It is the site of the central homestead of a former ranch that once spanned tens of thousands of acres.

It comes with mineral and water rights. The ranch consists of rolling terrain, rising over 100 feet from

East to West. On the wooded bluffs at the western edge of the property (the former home site), there

is plenty of space for a home, barns and other buildings.

From a western-facing window on these bluffs, the potential owner and guests could enjoy awe-inspiring

views in all directions; from the expanse of the Rockies to the North from Pike's Peak and

beyond down to New Mexico and Raton Pass to the South. The entire depth and breadth of the

property can be viewed from this site. An owner easily can monitor land and livestock from this highest

point.

The property is conveniently located to Northern New Mexico, Southern Colorado skiing and hunting

areas and the growing Colorado Springs Area. It is large enough to support a horse farm, offering a

peripheral riding track length of 5 miles, with plenty of space for cross fencing and additional

residences.

The property offers excellent hunting prospects, with three landowner permits available per year for

elk, deer, antelope, mountain lion, turkey and black bear. These permits can be used anywhere within

the extensive State Wildlife Management Area. An owner can easily become an outfitter. Elk, mule

deer and pronghorn antelope cross the property regularly and deeded access to the nearby Cuchara

Canyon and vast Bureau of Land Management (BLM) lands to the east optimize hunting and other

recreational prospects.

Several rivers, streams and reservoirs are available close and offer excellent fishing for native game

fish. The nearby national forest lands have year round trails with unlimited potential for horseback

riding, snowshoeing, hiking, snowmobiling, hunting, x-c skiing, mountain biking... relaxing or exciting,

depending on one's point of view.

2009 Taxes $220.
