Very Rare 160 acre National Forest property
Located in Custer County, off CO 165 west/north of Lake Isabel. About 20 minutes and you could be enjoying a burger and fries, or smothered burrito at the local diner. They also carry items that may be necessary for extended camping or vacation homes. Lake Isabel is a great place to do a little lake fishing too. West on Ophir Creek Rd, about 3 miles and you are there! This road does come onto the property for a very short while and then turns south (see map). This road is closed in winter, but do expect to see some vehicle traffic on this particular road during nice weather, as it is a beautiful scenic drive! There is a forest service road that goes east/west through a lower leg of the land, and an easement (4wd required) through Snyder's Draw because there are a private owners north of the NF, that is located north of the land. Short drive to Rye, Westcliffe and Pueblo.

This is the Ultimate high alpine hide out! Accessible enough to get a builder to come erect a beautiful trophy home, or could use as a fall getaway for hunting, or just camping as a family compound! And even for the rugged individuals I would venture to say you could live here year round. Although there are power lines in the area, the cost to pull to property has not been explored, so consider it off grid. Cell service depends on carrier and some work while others don't. Take a look at these actual photographs! It just is does not get any prettier than this. Who doesn't want aspen groves, grand daddy fir trees, butterscotch scented ponderosa pines, massive granite rock formations big as a Volkswagen, wildlife, amazing views that take your breathe away, hidden spring and creeks, stirrup deep grass and live year round water? And since this 160 acres borders all four sides with Nat Forest you can hunt, fish, horseback, atv, skeet shoot, camp, hike, mountain bike..you name it..right on your property, and then some. Doesn't come along every day. Offered in whole or part, as long as the remainder acreage is in 35 acre increments! Call for details on this if interested in smaller tracts.

Properties: Christopher Ranch
Private Ranch surrounded by BLM and State Land which helps provide a buffer from the ever intrusive growth sprawl. Most of these properties are over 60 acres and up to 137 acres in size. Only property owners are allowed access on the private road. Not to be snobbish but just too keep out those folks that just may be lost. Located 14 miles north of US 50 on state CO Highway 9, it takes only 1/2 hour to get to Canon City. Elevation of the Ranch is approximately 8500 ft and with that you will find ponderosa, pinion, some fir trees and narrow leafed cottonwoods. Lightly covenanted so the ranch does not get junked up but you can pretty much do what you like including extended camping. Road maintenance fee of $295 applies and currently there is a grazing lease so taxes are ridiculously low. So close to TWO National Forests that you could spend a day there and be home for supper. Ditto for fishing at the Arkansas River, Spinney Reservoir, and Eleven Mile Reservoir. Breckenridge is under 1.5 hours too!

 This large property offers you plenty of space to lose your self in! There is a driveway cut in that takes you to a cleared pad, and here you can pop up your camper and enjoy knock out views. The driveway is shared with the northern neighbor and it really was the right thing to do as it saved thousands in costs and both property owners benefit by having easy access. However, if you like you can access it via the recorded access road further down and avoid the once in a while contact you might have with him. Either way as you hike deeper into the draws and ravines you will see signs of all sort of four legged critters and if you are quiet enough you may just actually spot them. Heavily timbered and tumbling terrain with game trails throughout the ponderosa, pinions, gamble oak, mountain mahogany and dotted with grassy clearings! Great property for extended families to have gatherings and reunions, or as a hunting base too. Check out the aerial photo!
