Crooked Creek Ranch is a 128± acre off-grid property just outside Fairplay with live water, usable mountain ground, and key systems already in place. With Crooked Creek, a drilled well, solar power, and no HOA or restrictive covenants, it offers a strong foundation for building, recreation, or long-term ownership.

Key Features:

Power: Off-grid setup with an installed solar power system.

Water Source: Drilled well provides on-site water.

Build Sites: Multiple potential building sites throughout the property.

The land carries a good mix of open meadows, scattered tree cover, and gently varied topography, giving the property both visual character and practical flexibility. Crooked Creek runs through the ranch, adding year-round water, stronger habitat, and a natural feature that gives the property more life and staying power.

What makes the property especially appealing is that it does not begin as a blank slate. The ranch already has a solar power system, a drilled well, a fully fenced perimeter, and corrals in place for livestock or horses. That existing infrastructure gives the next owner a strong head start and makes the property more usable from day one. Instead of spending years just getting basic systems in place, a buyer can focus on how they want to shape the ranch from here.

With multiple potential building sites and enough variation in the terrain to create privacy and options, Crooked Creek Ranch is well suited for a custom home, mountain cabin, or recreational retreat. It is a private Colorado property with live water, established infrastructure, and room to use the land without the constraints of a managed subdivision.
