Homestake Place, Florissant

This scenic 10-acre property is the perfect site for that ideal Colorado mountain home, or for the ultimate weekend camping location. Easily reached on well-maintained county roads (plus about a half-mile of private road), the property features pines, aspens, open meadows with thriving native grass, and just enough rock formations to add even more interest, without interfering with potential building sites. The parcel’s north end offers level topography (great for ease of building or for parking a camper); midway through the property, the ground gently rises, leading to even more private homesites or campsites, and unmatched views of the surrounding Colorado mountains. The property is fenced on three sides (east, south, west), commercial-grade power is in place at the northern property line, and a great deal of fire mitigation work has already been completed. There are only a handful of neighbors, all on similarly sized properties, making for a tranquil, private environment. The property is surrounded by some of the world’s best country for deer and elk hunting, hiking, ATVing/overlanding, and more. The Pike National Forest begins just 630 feet from this parcel’s south end, or 1,300 feet from its west boundary. World-class fishing is within easy reach, with Elevenmile Reservoir only 11 miles away; the “Dream Stream” of the South Platte River just 19 miles away; and Spinney Reservoir 21 miles away. And, it’s a 21-mile drive to the casinos and other attractions offered by Cripple Creek. Other driving distances: Lake George or Florissant: 8 miles; Woodland Park: 22 miles; Colorado Springs: 38 miles; and the COS airport: 53 miles.
