00 County Road 102 Guffey, CO 80820

Stake your claim at The Monarch, an 8+ acre high-country parcel minutes from the historic mining town of Guffey, home to local eateries, a rustic antique store, a community center, library, post office, and a K-8 charter school. A former mining claim now recently surveyed, The Monarch already holds a Conditional Use Permit for a residence, giving you a clear path to pursue your build. From the crown of the ridge, the prime homesite delivers top-of-the-world 360 panoramas that sweep from Pikes Peak across the Sangre de Cristo Range to Black Mountain and the Collegiate Peaks. Beginning at a paved mountain road, the land climbs a tree-dotted grassy slope with granite outcrops, healthy pine and aspen, and natural terraces that offer flexible siting options, allowing you to orient decks and windows toward sunrise, mountain views, and prevailing light. A peaceful meadow clearing works for camping now and building when you are ready. Bordering BLM public lands, it feels like your backyard stretches for miles with room to hike, explore, and watch wildlife. Access is convenient via county-maintained CR 102, with CO-9 close by for trips to Canon City, Salida, Breckenridge, and Frisco, and a scenic drive east to Cripple Creek, Florissant, and Woodland Park. Sitting at over 9,200 feet in Colorado Parks and Wildlife Game Management Unit 58, this high-altitude setting puts classic Colorado recreation at your fingertips, from hiking and biking to fishing, boating, and stargazing. For buyers who prize the view and enjoy a rewarding project, thoughtful planning turns this elevated ground into a homesite worthy of the panorama, where bright mornings, glowing evenings, and big-sky stars make the effort feel well spent!
