A well and yurt are already in place, adding immediate usability while you plan your future Colorado cabin or retreat. Cliffside Heights is a 375-acre ranch divided into only 10 private parcels, each bordering expansive BLM lands and surrounded by striking red rock buttes and formations. The semi-arid climate offers low humidity, approximately 260 days of sunshine each year, and comfortable year-round conditions. Access is from Shelf Road, a seasonal county-maintained road, followed by approximately 1.5 miles behind two locked gates on private and BLM roads. Canon City is about 25 minutes away, Colorado Springs approximately 1.5 hours, Denver about 2.5 hours, and Monarch Mountain roughly 1.5 hours away. Outdoor recreation is nearly endless, with mule deer hunting, hiking, horseback riding, ATVing, dirt biking, climbing, camping, rafting, and fly-fishing nearby. The renowned Shelf Road climbing area, including Sand Gulch and The Bank, is just minutes away. The Arkansas River is less than 25 minutes from the ranch, and adjoining BLM lands offer miles of trails plus fishing in Four Mile Creek. Royal Gorge attractions are also within easy reach.
