Yes – The model for this proposed equestrian community is “Maytag Ranch”, located just several miles away, north of the town of Westcliffe on highway 69. Maytag Ranch is completely built out and is a successfully functioning shared ranch for a larger residential population, with shared equestrian and recreational facilities. For those who love horses, similar to the “Maytag Ranch” model, the Buckhorn Ranch Preserve proposed stable and riding arena would provide an ideal place to spend time with these magnificent animals who would be living in a stable that is fully equipped with everything necessary for proper horse care and maintenance, with the added benefit that the riding arena would provide safe and enjoyable riding experiences year-round. An HOA format for the community would allow for the possibility of full time staff to manage stable and horse care, and provide the equestrian riding experience to residents and their guests with saddled “ready to ride” horses at an appointed time.
“Where the Southwest Meets the Rockies”
The property looks west at the Sangre de Cristo range of the Rockies, in the beautiful Wet Mountain Valley, just off of the front-range in South Central Colorado. It is 45 minutes to Lake Pueblo in the city of Pueblo, 45 minutes to Canon City, 1 hour 15 minutes to the Colorado Springs Airport with nonstop access to most major US cities, and only 2.5 hours from the Denver International Airport, and/or downtown Denver. No major mountain passes, nor the congested corridor are utilized in accessing this part of the Colorado Rocky Mountains from Denver and the front-range.
Locally, Buckhorn Ranch Preserve has two access roads onto Brush Hollow Road , which is maintained by the County, is only 6 miles away from the full service town of Westcliffe. The town offers Grocery and Health Food Stores, Bakery, Butcher Shop, Hardware and Lumber, Restaurants, Churches, Coffee Houses, Theater, Bowling Alley and Family Fun Center, as well as every sort of recreational opportunity you might expect from a town that sits directly at the base of the Rocky Mountains.
Westcliffe is a quaint historic mining town and features its own “Silver West Airport/Butler Field”, with a 1.5 mile paved runway and is only a 20 minute drive to this “Buckhorn Ranch Preserve”, purchase offering in Custer County.
Buckhorn Ranch Preserve is a blank canvas for a land developer and/or custom home builder to create a “Shared Ranch” residential community of custom homes on deeded lots, set within a large acreage “nature preserve” with shared recreation facilities.
Buckhorn Ranch Preserve offers a contiguous 785 deeded acres with 8 buildable lots, some of which are within a conservation easement and cannot be subdivided, while others can potentially be subdivided into smaller 5-acre lots. A network of roads within the preserve provides access to all of the gorgeous building sites, as well as the proposed site of the shared barn and community social space.
This community of deeded lots for custom homes, set within a 555 acre “Nature Preserve”, is dedicated to providing opportunities for outdoor recreation and horseback riding, while preserving the wildlife habitat and the natural environment. The home site parcels ranging from 6 acres to 40 acres are designed for residents to be in harmony with the natural beauty of the rolling landscape of the land, while enjoying stunning views of the Sangre de Cristo range of The Rocky Mountains, all the while having access to the community’s protected open space.
In addition to horseback riding, the preserve offers ample opportunities for hiking, nature watching, and other outdoor activities. The developer who purchases Buckhorn Ranch Preserve would be offering acres of open space and natural beauty, miles of trails to explore and fresh air and tranquility to enjoy. Potential residents will fall in love with the magical feeling of the preserve on their very first visit.
From the stunning mountain views to the miles of hiking and horseback riding trails, you will be amazed by what this preserve has to offer. Whether you are a Land Developer/Custom Home Builder, or a Real Estate Investor who understands the potential for re-selling in the future to a developer, this community concept has amazing potential to provide an exclusive group of residents with a unique and luxurious community that can surpass all expectations of an equestrian/nature preserve lifestyle.
