10.0 acres in Fremont County, Colorado

Nestled on a serene and picturesque 10-acre residential lot, this private retreat offers a perfect blend of tranquility and natural beauty. A year-round creek, known as West Creek, meanders along the northwest edge of the property, with the land extending to the creek's center. The majority of the parcel is adorned with lush meadows in the spring and early summer months, providing breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains. The densely wooded area in the southeastern section enhances the privacy and charm of this idyllic location. This parcel is conveniently situated just up the road from Highway 50 and a short 15-minute drive to Salida. This peaceful haven is also home to abundant wildlife, including deer and large turkeys that roam freely. This land has a rich history, having once been part of a historic ranch owned by the same family since the 1800s. The last 21 acres of the original homestead were sold in the 1980s, with this 10 acre lot parceled off last year, so this property represents a portion of this historic legacy. Remnants of the original chicken coop and outhouse still stand on the land, a testament to the ranching heritage where cattle, horses, and chickens were raised. This stunning lot is ready for someone to build their forever home with plenty of room to create your own homestead close to town.
