Land with Home for Sale in Walsenburg, Colorado

Located just minutes from Walsenburg, Colorado, this 883.51-acre ranch offers an outstanding opportunity for buyers looking for a well-improved livestock property, hobby farm, or large-acreage country retreat with an established home and extensive ranch infrastructure already in place. With direct frontage along Colorado Highway 10, complete perimeter and cross-fencing, two wells, seven outbuildings, and numerous livestock facilities, the property has been carefully maintained and improved for both comfortable country living and the practical demands of managing a ranch. Expansive views of the Spanish Peaks, Greenhorn Mountain, Sangre de Cristo Mountains, and even Pikes Peak on clear days provide an impressive backdrop to nearly 900 acres of southern Colorado ranchland. The approximately 1,560-square-foot manufactured home has been exceptionally well maintained, with significant remodeling and upgrades completed within the last four years. The kitchen, bathrooms, and living room have all been remodeled, offering updated finishes, high-end appliances, and comfortable living spaces. Additional improvements include an enclosed sunroom with hot but (included) positioned to take advantage of the surrounding mountain views, along with an expanded primary bedroom closet for additional storage. A large wraparound outdoor deck provides plenty of room for entertaining, grilling, or relaxing while enjoying the wide-open scenery. The home has been purged to the land and is being offered fully furnished, making it an attractive option for buyers looking to transition into ranch living with much of the necessary infrastructure and household furnishings already in place.

The property's improvements extend well beyond the residence, with seven outbuildings providing extensive workspace, enclosed vehicle storage, equipment protection, and agricultural utility. The largest shop measures approximately 30 by 40 feet and features a concrete floor, spray foam insulation, a large roll-up door, and 200-amp electrical service. This building provides an excellent space for maintaining equipment, working on vehicles, storing tools, or handling the many projects associated with owning and operating a large ranch. Adjacent to the main shop is an approximately 21-by-18-foot garage, also featuring a concrete floor and spray foam insulation. A third enclosed garage or parking structure measures approximately 32 by 18 feet and includes a concrete floor, spray foam insulation, and a roll-up door. Together, these three buildings provide substantial enclosed space for vehicles, tractors, recreational equipment, and other machinery.

Additional outbuildings and agricultural improvements include open loafing sheds, hay storage, a tack room, and dedicated equipment storage. These structures provide flexibility for keeping horses, cattle, goats, chickens, and other livestock, with existing facilities designed to support the daily activities associated with a working ranch or hobby farm. New roofing and windows have also been installed on multiple structures, reflecting the attention given to maintaining and upgrading the property over time. The variety of enclosed buildings, covered storage areas, and livestock shelters is a significant advantage for anyone looking for an established ranch headquarters without having to begin developing the property from scratch.

The entire 883.51 acres is fenced and cross-fenced, providing multiple pastures and areas for separating livestock, managing grazing, and rotating animals throughout the property. Existing working pens and round pen areas are supported by water and electrical service, while additional animal enclosures and shelters provide options for horses, cattle, goats, chickens, dogs, and other animals. Whether the next owner plans to maintain a few horses and cattle, establish a hobby farm, or operate a larger grazing property, the existing fencing and livestock facilities provide a strong foundation. The open terrain and established improvements also make the property appealing for horseback riding, livestock training, and other agricultural activities.

Water and utility infrastructure are another important component of this offering. Two wells serve the property, along with an additional 1,200-gallon cistern providing extra water storage capacity. A 500-gallon owned propane tank is also included, along with a backup generator to provide an additional power source when needed. These improvements are particularly useful on a rural property of this size, where dependable utility infrastructure, water storage, and livestock watering facilities can play an important role in day-to-day operations. Buyers should independently verify well permits, authorized uses, production, and any associated water rights.

Access to the ranch headquarters has also received considerable attention, with a well-maintained gravel driveway leading into the property and an attractive graveled entry and parking area surrounding the home and outbuildings. The established driveway and ample parking and maneuvering space make it convenient to access the shops, move trailers, park equipment, and handle routine ranch activities. Direct frontage along Colorado Highway 10 provides an additional advantage, allowing convenient access to Walsenburg and Interstate 25 while maintaining the privacy and open setting associated with a large ranch property.

Beyond the headquarters and improvements, the ranch encompasses approximately 883.51 acres of southern Colorado terrain with expansive grazing areas, scattered pinyon and pine trees, and a couple of ponds. The combination of open country, rolling terrain, and scattered tree coverage creates a variety of landscapes across the property, offering opportunities for livestock grazing, horseback riding, exploring, and wildlife observation. Antelope and mule deer frequent the area, while elk are known to occasionally travel through the property. The surrounding larger private ranches contribute to the expansive rural setting, while a section of Colorado State Land Board property borders the ranch along its northern boundary. Access to the adjoining state land is subject to applicable regulations and authorization and should not be assumed to be available for public recreation.

The views across the ranch are another outstanding feature, with the Spanish Peaks rising prominently to the south and the Sangre de Cristo Mountains stretching across the western horizon. Greenhorn Mountain provides another recognizable landmark, while Pikes Peak can be seen in the distance on clear days. Whether enjoying a morning on the home's wraparound deck, relaxing in the enclosed sunroom, riding across the ranch, or working around the outbuildings, these mountain views are a constant part of the setting. The combination of nearly 900 acres, scattered tree coverage, ponds, and surrounding mountain scenery makes this property appealing to buyers who appreciate the open landscapes and outdoor lifestyle of southern Colorado.

For buyers interested in maintaining and operating the ranch, additional equipment may be available for purchase separately. The available equipment may include multiple tractors, a backhoe, trailers, a road grader, and other machinery useful for maintaining roads, moving materials, managing livestock, and caring for a property of this size. This equipment is not included in the advertised real estate offering unless specifically negotiated, but its potential availability could make the transition especially convenient for someone looking to begin operating the ranch with equipment already located on the property.

Despite its substantial acreage and rural setting, the property is situated just minutes from Walsenburg, where grocery stores, restaurants, fuel, hardware stores, medical services, and other everyday amenities are available. Interstate 25 provides convenient access north toward Pueblo and Colorado Springs or south toward Trinidad, while Highway 160 connects the area to La Veta, Cuchara, and the mountains to the west. This location offers the advantages of country living and large-acreage ownership without being far removed from the services and supplies needed to maintain a working ranch.

Outdoor recreation is another major attraction of the surrounding area, with Lathrop State Park located just outside Walsenburg. As Colorado's first state park, Lathrop offers fishing, boating, kayaking, paddleboarding, swimming, camping, hiking, biking, and other recreational opportunities. Martin Lake and Horseshoe Lake provide two distinct reservoirs, with motorized boating available on Martin Lake and quieter, wakeless recreation on Horseshoe Lake. The park also features an archery range, walking and biking trails, picnic areas, and the Walsenburg Golf Course, making it a convenient destination for a variety of outdoor activities throughout the year.

The mountains surrounding Walsenburg provide additional opportunities for those who enjoy hunting, fishing, hiking, horseback riding, and exploring public lands. San Isabel National Forest, Spanish Peaks Wilderness, and Greenhorn Mountain Wilderness offer extensive areas of mountain terrain and public recreation, while the Cuchara Valley and Highway of Legends Scenic Byway provide access to scenic mountain drives, trailheads, camping areas, and wildlife habitat. Lake Isabel and the surrounding Wet Mountains offer additional fishing and outdoor opportunities, while Trinidad Lake State Park provides another regional destination for boating, fishing, and camping. With these recreational opportunities within reach, the property offers a convenient home base for enjoying both private ranchland and the surrounding public lands of southern Colorado.

With 883.51 acres, a remodeled and fully furnished 1,560-square-foot home, seven outbuildings, three insulated shops and garages, extensive livestock facilities, two wells, a 1,200-gallon cistern, an owned 500-gallon propane tank, established fencing, and direct highway frontage, this property brings together many of the features buyers look for in a southern Colorado ranch. The home and improvements have been well maintained, with significant remodeling and upgrades completed in recent years.
