Discover a rare opportunity to own a piece of Colorado history in the quiet and storied community of Turret. This unique property offers a gently sloping lot with a natural building site already in place, making it easy to envision your future home. A circular driveway is established, adding both convenience and functionality, while the setting provides beautiful mountain views, privacy, and a peaceful high-country feel just a short drive from Salida. Seller has applied for a well permit.

Turret’s roots trace back to the Colorado gold rush, where early prospectors searched for fortune but ultimately found greater success in granite. By 1905, the area became known for its prized “Salida Blue” stone, celebrated for its rich color, fine grain, and durability. The surrounding landscape still reflects that rugged history, with striking natural features and a sense of timeless Colorado character.

Water is available via a community well, where owners typically utilize a well pump to fill a cistern. In addition, because the property was platted prior to 1972, there is the potential for a private well to be drilled, offering added flexibility for future use. Whether you are looking to build, invest, or create a retreat away from it all, this property combines usable land, existing access, and a unique setting that is increasingly hard to find in Chaffee County.

Directions

From Salida heading northwest out of town on 291, turn right on County Road 153 for .1 mile and turn right on County Road 175. Follow for 6.8 miles and turn left on County Road 185. Follow for 1.8 miles and turn left on County Road 184 for approximately 2.3 miles. Before you reach Turret Ave., you want to turn right where the wooden sign says "Highland" and follow approximately .1 mile as it curves to the left. You'll pass the wood house with red trim and turn right after the wood house where you'll see the HomeSmart sign. Do not use Google maps. When you pass the lake on the way up, it will be on your left. I recommend OnX Hunt app.
