Secluded mountain living in Florissant
Florissant, Colorado, which means blooming in French, is hidden away in the vast landscape of the Rocky Mountains. This little town, with only one gas station and grocery store, encapsulates the true essence of a small mountain town lifestyle. “Buyers seek out this community for the peace, quiet and fresh air that accompanies mountain living,” says Jason Roshek, a licensed real estate salesperson with Coldwell Banker Beyond, who has been in the real estate industry for over 20 years. With a history rooted in the Ute and Cheyenne cultures and the pioneering spirit of the 19th century gold rush, Florissant is known for its beautiful landscape and secluded ranch living.
Prehistoric fossils and hiking trails
In the heart of the mountains, the region is excellent for outdoor enthusiasts. The Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument, filled with relics from the town’s prehistoric past, offers a fascinating 14 mile trail where kids and adults can search for fossils dating back to the late Eocene period. About 5 miles away, Eleven Mile Canyon Recreation Area is known for its hiking trails, rock climbing and fishing. Muller State Park, another gem within 15 miles, boasts a range of pathways and sites to camp under the starlit Colorado sky.
Eleven Mile Canyon is a popular camping area.
Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument has tons of beautiful trails to explore.

A-frames, log cabins and custom homes
Residences around the landscape reflect the region’s rustic landscape and winding roads. Homes range from iconic ramblers to login cabins and the occasional modern home that blends into the surrounding landscape of towering blue spruces and firs. “Who doesn’t want a log cabin in the mountains,” Roshek says. The median price for a single-family home hovers around the mid $300,000s with an average lot size just over 1 acre. “Although there are a lot of vacation homes in the area, there are more year-round residents and retirees than not,” Roshek says. Prospective homebuyers can expect the median price for a single-family home to hover around the low $500,000s with an average lot size over 2 acres. Buyers can score several homes in the $300,000 to $700,000 range, like a modern three-bed rambler with light-filled windows for $465,000 or a classic log cabin sitting on 2 acres for $635,000. There are also quite a few properties from the $800,000 range to over $1 million, like a modern custom-built home with a full gym on 5 acres.
You'll find lots of large log cabin homes nestled into the pines in Florissant.

Florissant Heritage Day festivities

Each summer, various spots in town, like The Grange #420, host multiple events, such as craft and food vendors, activities for children, live music and more.
After work drinks and nearby necessities
Florissant Mercantile is the only store in town for grocery runs, while Ace Hardware & Supply and Outpost Feed & Ranch Supply are nearby to meet all home and ranching necessities. Although this small town has less than four restaurants, Costello Coffee House is the main spot for breakfast, while Iron Tree Restaurant & Funky Town Brewery is the go-to stop for dinner and craft beer. Thunderbird Inn, the local watering hole, is also a favorite for evening drinks.
