Located in tranquil Colorado ranch country, near the San Isabel Nat'l Forest, this 40-acre parcel offers a peaceful environment, mountain views, abundant wildlife, forest access & a sense of adventure. Just 11 miles north of Beulah, where scenic high desert transitions to pine forest, this corner property is wooded with cedar & pines, & features numerous meadows & lush grass, ideal for pasture. A dramatic 1/4-mile canyon runs through the property, w/ incredible rock formations & a creek bed that will periodically carry live water; nobody has been in this canyon for years, making it ripe for exploration. Wildlife (deer, elk, antelope, hawks) are frequently on the property. A driveway is in place, leading to a large home site boasting one of the best Pikes Peak views in the region. This property shares just 1 boundary w/ a neighboring parcel & is located inside Vaughn Ranch, a ranch subdivision consisting of 26 properties, each at least 35 acres in size. A keypad gate controls access to Vaughn, making for a private environment with next to no traffic. Vaughn property owners share a private access gate to the nat'l forest. On a given day, a Vaughn owner hiking or horseback riding in this portion of the forest will likely have it to himself. Vaughn has an extensive fire protection infrastructure & is just 3.5 miles from the Red Creek Fire Dept. A grazing arrangement ensures Vaughn property owners reap the benefits of ag zoning. At 40 acres, this parcel more than meets the acreage requirement for a domestic well. Neighboring wells are on record producing 10-15 gpm. Underground utilities (San Isabel Power, Beulahland Communications for phone & internet) are already at the property line. There is no requirement to build, but a home, guest home, barns & outbuildings are allowed. This parcel would make a great horse property, HQ for an outdoor-oriented owner, or home site for anyone who enjoys an environment defined by mountain views, wildlife, & peace & quiet.
