Improved Recreational Land for Sale in Buena Vista, Colorado
29355 County Road 305, Buena Vista, CO 81211
67± acres at 8,800 feet — completely private, with no neighboring structures, and reliable ingress/egress to Highway 24 via County Road 305. Bordering National Forest and public lands, with a stream and panoramic mountain and meadow views. The residence is sold strictly as-is; given its age and condition, buyers should budget for a substantial rebuild/teardown and are encouraged to complete their own inspections and due diligence to determine renovation versus reconstruction feasibility. There is also a 1,500 sf two-story barn, not permitted for occupancy. A separate 1,344 sf building — formerly a small poultry operation, now a workshop — is completely off-grid and ready to use. What carries the real value here: a permitted well (5 GPM, 120'), two solar arrays — both with inverters and battery storage, engineered with redundancy for full off-grid operation — plus a multi-fuel backup generator in the garage, and genuine subdivision upside. The property may qualify for an administrative lot split under Chaffee County Land Use Code Sec. 5.2.6.6 (buyer to verify with County Planning) — conceptually a 20-acre compound plus a 47-acre view parcel, supported by existing internal road cuts. Dirt, county-maintained County Road 305 frontage, with a paved driveway section. Sold as-is; cash or hard-money preferred, though a financing contingency may be considered depending on the offer — no seller financing. For a developer, builder, or land buyer who wants water, power, and access already secured, this is a rare, private, off-grid-capable opportunity to make it your own.
