An Outdoor Paradise located less than 30 miles from the geographical center of the Centennial State at 9,400 feet in elevation. This property is in a peaceful & relaxed atmosphere, yet within 6 miles from highway 285 or 24 on a county maintained/plowed road for all year access. Buena Vista is an easy 25 minutes away and Denver or Colorado Springs is within 2 hours. Ranch of the Rockies HOA includes central trash service, dog park, pavilion, and a stocked fishing reservoir for all property owners and guests. This beautiful property includes a stucco home (minimizes outdoor maintenance in Colorado's climate), a 1,500 sq ft second metal outbuilding sufficient for storage, beautiful shop and extra garage space and an attractive driveway entry/arch. The walk out composite deck is spectacular for watching the red tail hawks soaring or other wildlife roaming the area like deer, elk, pronghorns, jackrabbits, cottontails, and blue birds, among others. The property is walking distance to the entrance to Pike/San Isabel National Forrest that provides hiking, biking, 4 wheeling, snowshoeing, cross country skiing and many other outdoor activities. It is less than 15 minutes from trophy trout fishing in Antero Reservoir and within 40 minutes of Gold Metal trout fishing on either the South Platte River or the Arkansas River, not to mention about 40 minutes from Spinney Mountain Reservoir, home to the best trophy trout and pike fishing in the state. There are numerous other smaller streams and lakes in the area and some call this the "Fly Fishing Capitol of Colorado". There are 3 or 4 major ski areas within an hour drive in the winter and more than 10 of the state's 54 14ers are within an hour's drive to the trailhead. The 5-acre vacant lot next door is also available for purchase if you want to have an extra buffer. You must see this to truly appreciate it.
