Live, Work, or Build the Next Big Thing at the Top of Poncha Pass
This 49.5-acre property delivers freedom, flexibility, and serious potential. Located right off Highway 285 with approved CDOT access for 52 RV sites, it’s ready for your vision. Whether you want a full-time mountain home, a live/work setup, or a commercial venture, the infrastructure is already in place.
The 3-bedroom, 2-bath home is spacious and well-built with vaulted ceilings, a wood-burning stove, and an open layout that blends the kitchen, dining, and living areas. The kitchen features granite counters, a gas cooktop, and bar seating. The large primary suite includes a walk-in closet and a tiled shower with dual vanities. A laundry room, two guest bedrooms, and a full second bath round out the residential wing.
Attached to the home is a 1,800 square foot finished office space with a storefront entrance, private office, two restrooms, and concrete flooring. It currently supports an ATV and snowmobile rental business and is perfectly suited for retail, service, or remote work. The 3,600 square foot heated shop is a powerhouse, with tall doors, a car lift, concrete floors, and a storage mezzanine.
Zoned commercial land/recreation and positioned for high visibility, this property opens the door to RV park development, adventure tourism, or any number of business opportunities. County approval would be needed to activate the RV site plan, but the hard part is already handled.
Just 9 minutes to Poncha Springs and 17 to Salida. Surrounded by public land, lakes, and trail systems, this is a gateway to Colorado's best outdoor recreation. The possibilities here are wide open.
