Recreational Land with Home for Sale in Westcliffe, Colorado

A Promise to Remain Wild | 116.58 Mountain Acres - Some properties offer acreage. This one offers a landscape worth protecting. Across 116.58 conserved acres, open meadows meet forested hillsides, dramatic rock formations and sweeping Sangre de Cristo views. Elk and mule deer move through the property, while changing light and seasons make the scenery feel new again. Completed in 2023, the thoughtfully finished 1,200-square-foot residence keeps life simple and places the land at center stage. A soaring tongue-and-groove ceiling and dramatic wall of windows bring the outdoors into the open kitchen, dining and living area. A woodstove adds mountain warmth, while electric baseboard heat offers everyday comfort. The single-level floor plan includes two bedrooms, two baths, two walk-in closets and laundry within the primary suite. Step outside to a broad concrete patio, gather around the firepit beneath the pines and listen to the kind of quiet that only comes with this much protected land around you. A private well and three-bedroom septic system serve the residence. Deeper among the trees, an approximately 208-square-foot original cabin offers a weathered glimpse into the property's past. It remains in as-is, nonhabitable condition, with any repair or replacement governed by the conservation easement. Perhaps the greatest luxury here is knowing that what surrounds you today is meant to remain. The easement protects the open meadows, wildlife habitat and mountain scenery in perpetuity. The acreage must remain one undivided landscape, while future improvements are limited and governed by the easement. Quiet, private and beautifully wild, this is land with room to live-and a promise to remain whole.
