PROPERTY: This 20 acre mountain-and-meadow property is located approximately 45 minutes southwest of Cañon City, set in the heart of Colorado's recreational and agricultural landscape and surrounded by stunning natural beauty. With the Sangre de Cristo Mountain Range dominating the horizon and McClure Gulch providing a serene valley frequented by elk and other wildlife, the area offers majestic panoramic views and abundant opportunities for the outdoor enthusiast. The property is easily accessed via almost 400 feet of road frontage on McClure Gulch Road and begins with a relatively flat meadow area that provides an excellent future homesite, or even potentially as a livestock area, and the boundary is already partially fenced. With the highly flexible R2 zoning here, you can build just about whatever you want, including mobile homes. Moving southwest, you'll find a water well (for household use) before the terrain transitions into a steep and dramatic incline, elevating you to the upper portion of the property where jagged rock outcroppings and dense pine forest reveal expansive views of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains and McClure Gulch. You won't just find breathtaking views up here, but also excellent hiking, hunting, and even a secondary cabin sites. Overall, this property is an outdoor enthusiast's dream, offering nearby access to the Arkansas River, Phantom Canyon, Great Sand Dunes National Park, and the iconic Royal Gorge just 39 minutes away.

For Sale by Owner: We are investors, and are selling this lot For-Sale-By-Owner. You do not need to submit your offer through a real estate agent, and in our experience we close transactions more quickly and easily by having our dedicated transaction coordinator work directly with the Title Company and Buyers. We will also both save money on commission/fees by cutting out agents as the middle men. However, if you feel strongly about working with a Realtor, then you're welcome to have them contact us on your behalf.

Why Are You Selling It So Cheap? We are often asked why we price our properties at below market value, and the answer is really simple: because we can, and that's our core business model. We are investors who purchase properties at a large volume and deeply liquidated rates, and by passing this discount on to our buyers, we can sell land quickly...and more of it. In fact, our average property only lasts 2-3 weeks on the market (vs. industry average of about 6 months).

Disclaimer: We attempt to provide detailed, accurate and up-to-date information in our listings, in order to help our buyers to the best of our ability. However, it ultimately remains the buyers responsibility to perform their own due diligence and double check any details that are of significant importance to you including acreage, utilities, buildability, and approved/allowable usage for the property. We are happy to help however we can.
