Hwy 285 South, Poncha Springs, CO 81242

Property Description

37.8 Acres of prime Colorado mountain land with creek frontage and unlimited opportunities. Discover the perfect blend of meadow serenity and rugged mountain beauty on this 37.8-acre property just minutes from the charming Town of Poncha Springs. Poncha Creek meanders across the east side of the parcel, creating a peaceful setting of tall grasses, mature trees, and soothing water views. The property spans both sides of Highway 285, offering two distinct landscapes. The east side provides easier access and features a limited building site ideal for a future cabin, getaway, or small mountain retreat. On the west side, steep, untouched mountain terrain offers a wild and private backdrop for hiking, exploring, or simply enjoying Colorado's natural beauty. An access permit from the Colorado Department of Transportation is required for entry from Highway 285 to the west side and is available with proper application (buyer to verify). This unique setting allows you to enjoy the gentle sounds of the creek on one side while owning your own slice of rugged mountain terrain on the other. Located close to Monarch Ski Area, world-class rafting and kayaking on the Arkansas River, and endless backcountry trails, this property offers unlimited outdoor adventure right at your doorstep. Whether you're seeking a private camping retreat, a future building site, or an affordable way to enter the Colorado real estate market, this property delivers unmatched value and opportunity.
