8707 HWY 24/285
Buena Vista, CO 81211
58.80 acres | #8724758

Description
One of a kind opportunity to start a glamping and camping resort in the heart of the Rocky Mountains, or to build your dream home with the possibility of subdividing the property. The project received full county approval for 15 geodesic dome glamping sites, common bath house, community dome, geodesic greenhouse, and other amenities. The 58.8 acre parcel is surrounded by the San Isabel National Forest land, with Trout Creek running the length of the property. New water well completed. Ample water rights with sewer plans approved. Easy access to Hwy 285 with an approved CDOT commercial highway access permit. The property has a major below-ground electrical and telephone trunkline easement running the length of the property with several above ground transformers, which simplifies connection to utilities. The road is approximately 2000’ long, 25’ wide, with an 80’ wide creek crossing featuring a large reinforced concrete culvert that the creek passes through. The road terminates at a 50’ cul-de-sac approximately 1000’ onto the project side of the property. Perched on the downhill slope of Trout Creek Pass, the property provides panoramic views of the Arkansas River Valley and the “Fourteeners” that form the Continental Divide to the west, with stunning views of Triad Ridge to the south, and Limestone Ridge to the north. The property has not been previously logged or developed, and is home to old-growth Ponderosa, native Juniper, and several-hundred-year-old Pinon trees. Trout Creek runs the length of the property, and is home to a very healthy trout population, countless beaver dams, small waterfalls, and swimming holes. Red Willows cover the banks of Trout Creek, and native shrubs and grasses blanket the open meadow areas, with yucca and small cacti abundant as well. It's truly a breathtaking, one-of-a-kind property.
