$500,000

Buy the land. Two homes come with it for free. Here are 35 acres outside Westcliffe priced like raw land, and the improvements come with them: a main home of about 2,544 sq ft with 5 bedrooms and 3.5 baths, a garage, and an attached ADU. You're paying for the acres, and the buildings are the bonus. Fire damage is known, disclosed and already reflected in the price. That's the opening for a cash buyer or investor who can see the spread. Improved places on this same circle are listed and sold from the high $700,000s to well over $1 million, so bring your contractor, price the work and keep the equity. The ADU off the garage gives you a ready-made second living space for guests, family, a renter or a shop apartment. That makes it a natural fit for a multigenerational setup or an extra income stream. Thirty-five acres is the part you can't add later. There's room for horses, a shop, gardens, RVs and toys, plus the kind of privacy you can feel. You'll have dark skies, big Sangre de Cristo views, and a short run into town, without the Front Range commute. This is one of the most affordable ways onto a true mountain compound in this pocket of Custer County. Sold strictly as-is with no repairs, credits or remediation. Bring your buyers who can see the gap, because the right one will see it on the first walk!
