Hatchet Ranch 55 is a 40-acre parcel located in Pueblo County's quiet, unspoiled ranch country, and would make an ideal horse property, hobby ranch, or residential ranch property. Wooded, with a diverse topography that includes meadows, mesas, and a creek bed, the parcel offers stunning mountain views, from the Spanish Peaks to Pikes Peak. A scenic, nearly hidden canyon cuts through the western 1/3 of this parcel (its creek bed will occasionally carry live water), creating a tranquil environment to hike, ride a horse, watch the abundant wildlife that will visit this parcel, or simply take in the peace and quiet of this special spot. The property can be accessed from the west side, via Railroad Springs Road, or from the east side, via Sun Valley Drive, giving anew owner maximum flexibility when it comes to choosing a home site. This buildable parcel is easily accessed year-round, and already has power (San Isabel Electric), phone service (Rye Telephone), and fiber-optic internet (Rye Telephone) at the property line. The property meets the acreage requirement for a domestic well permit. If a new owner chooses to build, a home must be at least 1,500 sf; a separate guest house is allowed, as well as shops, barns, arenas, and corrals. The recreational opportunities offered by the San Isabel NationalForest, the Arkansas River, and Lake Pueblo are within easy reach. The small town of Colorado City is just 15 miles away; Pueblo is 24 miles north; and the Colorado Springs airport is 71 miles north, generally well under a 1-hour drive via I-25. Two 40-acre parcels located directly north of this listing are also available, as is a 40-acre parcel across the road, creating the opportunity for a buyer to purchase anywhere from 40 to 160 acres.
