About This Home

As of February 2026

Nestled among the rolling hills east of the majestic Sangre de Cristo Mountains, this exceptional 105-acre ranch offers the perfect blend of natural beauty, privacy, and refined comfort. The landscape features diverse vegetation, varied topography, and abundant water, creating a haven for recreation and relaxation. The Huerfano River winds through the property, complemented by established roadways, two productive wells, and a gravity-fed cistern for reliable water access. Conveniently located near La Veta, Walsenburg, and Westcliffe, the ranch balances seclusion with accessibility. A 2,100-square-foot residence, built within the past six years, showcases rich alder cabinetry, elegant countertops, a luxurious primary suite walk-in shower, and floor-to-ceiling windows framing breathtaking mountain and valley views. Additional features include an stand-by automatic-start propane generator for emergencies, a 40' x 48' fully insulated, heated shop with 14-foot walls and 200-amp service, horse corrals with water, and a lean-to for equipment or hay storage. Whether envisioned as a private mountain retreat, equestrian estate, or recreational paradise, this ranch embodies the very essence of Colorado living — breathtaking views, open skies, and serene solitude.
