Whether you are seeking a full-time ranch residence, equestrian retreat, or legacy Colorado property, this offering represents a unique opportunity to own a piece of the Southwest lifestyle.You can't even see this property from the county road until you are 300 yards up the driveway but is right off of paved roads.
