With this 40-acre property's 60x40 custom shop/barn and other improvements, the sellers have provided a new owner with a significant head start in developing a rural residence, business, farm, or horse property.Located just 10 miles from Calhan or Falcon, and only 20 miles from Colorado Springs, this 40-acre A-35 property is fully fenced, and has a 60x40 custom shop/barn. This building is FAR (!) BEYOND a standard 60x40 kit, which would include only lumber and sheet metal. Fully insulated, with 16' walls and a 22' centerline peak, the shop has a rebar-reinforced concrete floor, on top of 6" of roadbase. There are roll-up doors (14' and 10') at each end, rows of windows on the north and south sides, and the building has a full-length, 10x60 covered porch, perfect for gatherings and barbecues. Plumbing (for water, propane, septic) is already roughed in, and underground power is on the property. The building could be a horse barn, equipment barn, business HQ, potentially a "bardominium" residence, or a combination of some or all of the above. The parcel offers some great home sites with Pikes Peak views, and abundant space for horses or other livestock, with outstanding grazing and plenty of room to ride. This ag-zoned property is located on a well-maintained county road (just 1 mile to pavement) in tranquil ranch country, and has no covenants or owners' association. The property comes with water rights, and meets the acreage requirement for a domestic well permit. Fiber broadband internet is expected to be available in 2025. Prairie Retreat is located in the heart of southern Colorado, near some of the world's best hunting, fishing, and skiing; other outdoor recreational opportunities (mountain biking, hiking, whitewater rafting, and more) abound.
