Little Owl Canyon West - 120 Acres - Pueblo Co., Colorado
Little Owl Canyon Ranch West is a scenic 120-acre property with much on offer: national forest access, live water, an awe-inspiring canyon, a hidden creekside camp cabin (with power), a hay shed, a developed driveway, lush meadows, and more. Protected by a keypad-coded gate, this property borders a well-maintained county road, and is easily accessed in all seasons. Year-round springs, a set of catch ponds, and seasonal creeks provide valuable subirrigation, and attract abundant game: deer, elk, wild turkey, antelope, and more. A private, 1,000-foot stretch of scenic canyon cuts through one corner of the property; from the top of the rim, one can watch hawks and eagles soar through the dramatic gorge, and hear the sound of the seasonal creek running at the bottom of the canyon. On the north end of the property, a historic homestead site provides a glimpse of Colorado frontier history. Ownership of this parcel comes with usage rights to a private access point to the San Isabel National Forest, located just a short distance from this property's back gate. In this area, there is no forest access available to the general public (access is landowner-only); as a result, this portion of the forest gets very little pressure, and wildlife/game thrive. Deer, trophy elk, antelope, and wild turkey are on the property nearly every day. The property is fenced on the north, west and south sides, and partially fenced on the east, for a total of about two miles of existing fencing. There are multiple potential home sites within easy reach of power, phone service, and landline internet. The property meets the acreage requirement for a domestic well permit; the neighboring property's well tested at an impressive 20 gpm on construction. A new owner would not be required to build, but a home, a guest home, and barns/outbuildings are allowed. This property could potentially be split, creating the opportunity for up to two wells, two homes, and two guest homes, in addition to barns and outbuildings. Located just 7 miles from the mountain village of Beulah, 23 miles from Pueblo, and 67 miles from the Colorado Springs airport.
