PROPERTY: Set up your new ranch here for a heavy dose of soulful star gazing by night and breathtaking mountain views by day! This magnificent 35.8 acre property is the epitome of serenity, offering a winding arroyo that adds to the tranquility of the surroundings. The land is flat, platted, and mostly cleared, so the canvas is ready for you to create your dream home, tiny home, or camping retreat. Say goodbye to zoning restrictions and let your imagination run wild, as the only limitations are set by the very light Colorado Buffalo Ranch CC+R’s (see below). The most ideal build spot is near the tract’s southeast corner, between the arroyo and the road, with plenty of space there to easily satisfy the setback requirements. Can’t wait to move in? Stay in your RV while you build and don’t miss out on a second of the joys of living in the Rockies. Offering approximately 1067 feet of direct frontage on Bennett Road, which runs parallel to CanAm Hwy about a mile to the east, you’ll enjoy quick and easy access to nearby Colorado City amenities while savoring the peacefulness of your own private oasis. For major shopping, Pueblo is just 39 minutes to the northeast. Imagine waking up to breathtaking mountain vistas every morning and falling asleep under a blanket of stars each night. Don’t miss this chance to own a truly outstanding property that combines unlimited potential with natural beauty and convenience – all at an unbeatable Acretown price!

FOR SALE BY OWNER: We are investors, and are selling this lot For-Sale-By-Owner. You do not need to submit your offer through a real estate agent, and in our experience we close transactions more quickly and easily by having our dedicated transaction coordinator work directly with the Title Company and Buyers. We will also both save money on commission/fees by cutting out agents as the middle men. However, if you feel strongly about working with a Realtor, then you’re welcome to have them contact us on your behalf.
WHY ARE YOU SELLING IT SO CHEAP? We are often asked why we price our properties at below market value, and the answer is really simple: because we can, and that’s our core business model. We are investors who purchase properties at a large volume and deeply liquidated rates, and by passing this discount on to our buyers, we can sell land quickly . . . and more of it! In fact, our average property only lasts 2-3 weeks on the market (vs. industry average of about 6 months).
DISCLAIMER: We attempt to provide detailed, accurate and up-to-date information in our listings, in order to help our buyers to the best of our ability. However, it ultimately remains the buyer’s responsibility to perform their own due diligence and double check any details that are of significant importance to you including acreage, utilities, build-ability, and approved/allowable use-age for the property. We are happy to help however we can.
