Verde Creek’s Best come to the last hidden ranching valley in Colorado discovered and still populated by the decedents of the original homesteading ranching families. There are unique southern views exactly as Zebulon Pike saw of his world famous Pikes Peak. These 35 exceptional acres, seldom available, will transport the owner to a period of Americana that the world can only imagine and envy. Year ‘round water from Gibson Creek, fed by mountain snowpack and flowing in the driest of times, nurtures this wooded lot below Eagle Peak. A 300 ft well is already drilled and the power and phone are at the corner of the entry road to the building site. An abundance of aspen and native pine surrounds hidden meadows and gives you a sense of total privacy. From this western side of the Wet Mountain Valley, you are only 7 miles from Westcliffe, which, along with other summertime activities, has been home to the Westcliffe Stampede Rodeo, an annual event for the past 75 years. This bustling small town is where the charm of the old west and new west merge. Overlooking this spectacular valley and viewing the majestic mountains from the porch of your new home will be one of your life’s most precious experiences. Walking distance to National Forest, approximately 45 minutes to the Arkansas River for fly fishing and rafting, 1.5 hrs from Colorado Springs.
