Each lot has access to 158 acres of open space and presents a great opportunity for future income. The Ranch falls under the Rye fire protection district, and phone/power are right on the property border so they are ready to be set up at your discretion. The nearest airport with commercial flights is Colorado Springs Airport, about 75 miles away, or 33 miles away for private flights at the Pueblo Airport.

AREA RECREATION

If you are looking for recreational activities outside of hunting on the ranch, Hollydot Golf Course in Colorado City is an 18-hole public course with scenic mountain views to its West. If you want to go fishing, the nearest lake is Lake Beckwith, which is fully stocked and you can bring a boat with an electric trolling motor (no gas-powered engines), kayak, or paddle-boards. You could also try your luck on Greenhorn or Graneros Creek which are both on the outskirts of Colorado City. However, if you do want to break out the big boat, the nearest and best place to go for standard boating is about an hour North at Pueblo Reservoir which is known for its black crappie, bluegill, blue catfish, and bass fishing.

If you're seeking a mountain retreat, San Isabel National Forest is a short 20-mile drive from your front door which provides great camping, hiking, ATV trails, mountain biking, and backpacking. Skiing is not Southern Colorado's strong suit, but if you're really itching to hit the slopes, the nearest ski areas are going to be 125 miles (Monarch Ski Area) or 195 miles away (Wolf Creek Ski Area).

The ranch sits just outside of Colorado City, which has a current population of just over 2,000. Colorado City is known for its uncharacteristically green summers, and a more temperate climate in the fall, winter, and spring. Old Colorado City (current day Colorado Springs) was laid claim to in 1859 and was meant to serve as a hub for nearby mining outfitters in the Pikes Peak region, and served as the capital of the Colorado Territory for five days at which point it was moved to Denver due to its unsatisfactory accommodations. The town population declined soon after which turned Colorado City into a watering hole because of its many saloons, opium dens, brothels, and the occasional skirmish with Native tribes. Because of the unsavory environment that Colorado City provided in the late 1800s, it was annexed and relocated 70 miles South to where it currently sits today as a cozy small town.

*Cedarwood South (863 acres) and Cedarwood North (1,393 acres) can be combined and are listed as Cedarwood Ranch (2,256 acres). Please contact the agent for more information.**All trail camera photos below are taken collectively from Cedarwood Ranch.
