Overview

Welcome to your Cactus Mountain basecamp, where wide-open skies, privacy, and functionality come together on 35+ acres bordering BLM land—providing direct access to thousands of acres right out your back door. At approximately 6,500 feet in elevation, enjoy Colorado’s four-season climate with moderate temperatures, expansive views, and plenty of usable ground. The 2-bedroom, 2-bath home features warm wood finishes, an open layout, and a pellet stove that adds comfort and efficiency—well-suited for full-time living or a weekend retreat. Built with self-reliance in mind, the property includes a domestic well along with a cistern system, paid solar, and wiring in place for a backup generator, offering flexibility and peace of mind. The improvements truly set this property apart. A 30x40 Cleary building with heat and a bathroom provides excellent space for a workshop, storage, or projects. Full RV hookups make it easy to host guests or create additional living options. A chicken coop with electric is already in place, supporting a homestead setup. With 360-degree views, usable acreage, and a location that balances privacy with year-round access, this property offers more than just a place to live—it supports a flexible, self-sufficient lifestyle. The Arkansas River Valley of Southern Colorado is a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts, offering gold medal fishing, world-class whitewater rafting, and endless hiking trails surrounded by stunning mountain scenery. With access to BLM land, Texas Creek ATV Park, and the Royal Gorge nearby, recreation opportunities are close at hand. The towns of Salida, Westcliffe, and Cañon City offer dining, shopping, art, and community events, along with hot springs, rock climbing, and exceptional stargazing throughout the year.
