CLIFFSIDE HEIGHTS LOT 7 – 38.49 ACRES WITH WELL & YURT BORDERING BLM Discover 38.49 private acres bordering thousands of acres of BLM and State lands, offering an exceptional combination of privacy, scenery, recreation, and usable land. Gently sloping mountain meadows provide multiple potential building sites and sweeping views of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. Existing trails wind throughout the property, including direct private access to adjoining BLM land. Elevation ranges from approximately 7,140 feet near the elevated building sites to 7,000 feet along the scenic ravine on the west side. The land features an appealing mix of open meadow, rock formations, pinyon and juniper, with scattered Ponderosa pines lining the drainage—ideal for hiking, exploring, horses, or simply enjoying the quiet mountain setting. A well and yurt are already in place, adding immediate usability while you plan your future Colorado cabin or retreat. Cliffside Heights is a 375-acre ranch divided into only 10 private parcels, each bordering expansive BLM lands and surrounded by striking red rock buttes and formations. The semi-arid climate offers low humidity, approximately 260 days of sunshine each year, and comfortable year-round conditions. Access is from Shelf Road, a seasonal county-maintained road, followed by approximately 1.5 miles behind two locked gates on private and BLM roads. Canon City is about 25 minutes away, Colorado Springs approximately 1.5 hours, Denver about 2.5 hours, and Monarch Mountain roughly 1.5 hours away. Outdoor recreation is nearly endless, with mule deer hunting, hiking, horseback riding, ATVing, dirt biking, climbing, camping, rafting, and fly-fishing nearby. The renowned Shelf Road climbing area, including Sand Gulch and The Bank, is just minutes away. The Arkansas River is less than 25 minutes from the ranch, and adjoining BLM lands offer miles of trails plus fishing in Four Mile Creek. Royal Gorge attractions are also within easy reach.
