Description
Located just a short drive from the historic and scenic town of Westcliffe, this property offers a well-balanced combination of accessibility, usable terrain, and expansive mountain and valley views. Positioned within the Woods at Gem Mountain HOA, the parcel benefits from maintained access, a quiet setting, and a location that allows for both convenience and privacy.
The property features well-maintained road frontage on two sides, allowing for easy access across much of the land and providing flexibility when selecting a building location. Multiple elevated building sites are present, each offering unique vantage points and orientation. From the eastern-facing slopes, enjoy sunrise views overlooking the valley below, while the southern and western aspects provide a backdrop of the Sangre De Cristo Mountains.
The terrain is gently varied, offering a mix of usable ground and elevated positions that enhance both views and privacy. Vegetation is abundant, with pinon pine, juniper, and scattered ponderosa creating a well-covered landscape. Native grasses and wildflowers add seasonal color and natural appeal. A prominent rock outcropping and elevated point along the western boundary provide additional character and visual interest to the property.
Wildlife is commonly observed throughout the area, with deer, elk, bear, and other species frequenting the surrounding landscape. The property lies within Colorado Game Management Unit 691, offering over-the-counter elk opportunities for archery (resident) and 2nd and 3rd rifle seasons. The combination of cover, elevation, and nearby habitat supports consistent wildlife presence.
Utilities are available along the property boundary, including power and telephone, simplifying the process for future development. Water wells in the area typically range from approximately 220 to 500 feet in depth. The Woods at Gem Mountain HOA provides maintained ranch roads and trash service for an annual fee, contributing to the overall usability and upkeep of the area.
Recreational opportunities are abundant both on the property and throughout the surrounding region. Westcliffe and the Wet Mountain Valley are known for outdoor activities, including hiking, horseback riding, fishing, and access to nearby public lands. The nearby Sangre De Cristo Mountains offer additional exploration opportunities, while the town of Westcliffe provides essential amenities such as groceries, dining, and services.
This property presents an opportunity to own a well-located parcel with strong views, established access, and utility availability in a desirable area. Its combination of terrain, vegetation, and proximity to town makes it suitable for both a future homesite and recreational use.
