Est $5,572/mo

Set in the wide-open South Park valley, this 128+ acre property offers a rare combination of privacy, infrastructure, and long-term self-reliance potential—just minutes from Fairplay and within reach of Denver.

Bordering over 2,000 acres of BLM land with active game trails, the property provides exceptional access to hunting and recreation (GMU 50), along with unobstructed mountain views in every direction.

Built for independence from day one:

  • Operational well (30 ft) with household + livestock use
  • Septic system installed and functioning
  • Fully paid solar power system with control shed
  • Two 500-gallon propane tanks
  • Extensive fencing, custom gate, and established driveway

Water and land features:

  • Multiple streams and a pond
  • Usable pastureland with native grasses
  • Aspen groves and natural wind protection
  • Zoning allows residential and agricultural use

Turnkey for livestock or expansion:

  • Corrals, round pen, and working cattle infrastructure (chutes, squeeze)
  • Horse stall, lean-to, and chicken house
  • Conex container and additional utility structures

With no HOA and AG tax status, the property offers flexibility for a range of uses—private residence, multi-structure retreat, hunting basecamp, or long-term land hold with subdivision potential.

Accessible year-round via Highway 285, you’re approximately:

  • 5 minutes to Fairplay
  • 35 minutes to Breckenridge
  • ~90 minutes to Denver

This is a scarce opportunity to acquire large acreage with water, power, and access already in place—the fundamentals that are increasingly difficult to replicate.
