This 2.02-acre property in Fremont County, Colorado offers mountain living at approximately 7,720 feet elevation between Cotopaxi and Texas Creek, featuring heavily wooded terrain with mature pines and proximity to vast public lands just two lots over, giving you easy access to trails and outdoor recreation. The surrounding area offers OHV trails at Texas Creek, hiking opportunities, and proximity to national forest lands. Cañon City sits roughly an hour away for essential services, medical facilities, and Royal Gorge access, while Westcliffe offers mountain town amenities and dark sky viewing. This property suits buyers seeking authentic mountain living with privacy and public land access, though the challenging terrain requires realistic assessment of development costs and access planning. The property is accessed through county easements from Gulch Road or E Path, with no direct road frontage. The hilly, sloping terrain presents access challenges and adventures that require careful evaluation of routes and building placement. This creates natural privacy and separation from neighbors, though buyers should be prepared to work with the topography when planning any development. R-1 Single-Family Residential zoning permits site-built homes, mobile and manufactured homes from 1975 or newer, and tiny homes with 400 square foot minimum requirements. RVs are allowed during active construction with valid building permits, while camping is not permitted. Building setbacks require 15 feet from streets, with no maximum size restrictions. Well drilling and septic installation are required for water and waste management. Solar or alternative power systems are typical for the area, though electricity may be available through local providers requiring verification. Propane heating is standard.
