Property Description

Wide open, level and framed by a horizon of snow-capped peaks, this 35.59 acre parcel in Bayou Salado Ranches delivers the rare South Park mix of usability, freedom, and Colorado sky. Winter photos show the crisp high country mood, but the same land comes alive in spring and summer with open grasses, big blue days, and long golden evenings that make these wide views feel even bigger. Green season is a show here! Sunsets spill gold across the grasslands, then stars take over in a dark, high country night. The land lays out in workable ground for a serious livestock vision, an equestrian base, or a future homesite with room for barns, corrals, and riding loops, all without an HOA or covenants steering your plans. A permitted driveway with culvert is already installed, and county maintained roads provide year round access. Open, cleared areas give you easy spots to stage gear, trailers, and future improvements. Three profile/percolation holes have been dug to help you step into septic planning without starting from scratch. Domestic well eligibility adds confidence for buyers who value water for a home plus livestock, and the open exposure makes solar a natural fit for a self-directed setup. From this Hartsel basecamp, your days can lean toward reservoir mornings, public land exploring, and hunting and fishing seasons close enough for easy day trips. Here, space is the amenity, wide horizons, distant peaks, and a setting that lets you breathe. The quiet invites campfires, coffee, and long walks that end when you decide to turn back, with room for trailers, tack, and a working setup. Set up a weekend base now, then build when you are ready. For supplies, the town of Hartsel covers fuel and quick essentials, Fairplay adds grocery runs and services, and Canon City delivers broader shopping, dining, and year round infrastructure. Come walk the ground, feel how level acreage in the Rockies changes what is possible, and pick the view you want to wake up to!
