Spring Canyon Ranch is a unique find for a buyer seeking a hunting HQ, secluded mountain retreat, or home/cabin site offering tranquility, privacy, mountain views & unlimited recreational opportunities. Consisting of 2 adjoining 35-acre parcels, this 70-acre property directly borders thousands of acres of BLM ground, ideal for hunters, hikers, horsemen & other outdoor enthusiasts. ** Located approximately 3 miles outside the historic mountain town of Cripple Creek, the property is just west of Mt Pisgah, and boasts breathtaking views of the Collegiate Peaks & other surrounding mountains. ** Wooded w/ ponderosa, oak & aspen, the property is south-facing, and a perfect candidate for off-grid development w/ solar power. The parcel rises to a glacial cirque; its summit offers some of Colorado's finest mountain views. ** Each of these 2 adjoining parcels meets the acreage requirement for a domestic well permit. The property already has a highly productive, year-round artesian spring. Per the seller, adjudicated water rights for this spring can be pursued. Well contractors have IDed additional springs on the property. ** A driveway is in place, and a poured-concrete home foundation, w/ heavy-duty rebar, is ready for county inspection. The foundation is positioned for maximum southern exposure. Foundation plans are available to aid a buyer's architectural planning. ** Other improvements include an A-frame barn, providing convenient storage for gear & equipment, and a redwood platform, offering a peaceful spot to enjoy the mountain views to the south. An RV/trailer can be parked next to this platform, creating useful deck space. A septic system is installed, making camping convenient. ** Game & wildlife thrive on this property, which is frequently visited by deer, turkey, mountain goats & elk. An old gold mine (w/ no known history of claims) is on the property. ** On-property cell service is outstanding. 25 miles to Woodland Park; 55 miles to the Colorado Springs airport.
