Wide open space and a sweeping bowl of mountain views define this AG-zoned 40-acre parcel east of Guffey, where rolling grasslands stretch beneath the Collegiate Peaks, Sangre de Cristo Range, and countless horizons in between. The terrain is remarkably usable, offering the kind of ground that appeals to ranchers, horse owners, homesteaders, and anyone seeking room to spread out without giving up scenery. Gentle contours create visual interest across the landscape while preserving the flexibility to build, graze livestock, ride horses, or simply enjoy a quieter pace surrounded by Colorado's high-country ranchlands. Unlike heavily wooded parcels that require extensive clearing before plans can begin, this property provides an open canvas where future improvements can take shape with far fewer obstacles. Completely unimproved and offered without HOA restrictions or covenants, the land allows owners to pursue their own vision while enjoying the freedom that comes with a true metes-and-bounds holding. The acreage qualifies for a domestic well permit, and excellent solar exposure supports off-grid living in an area where many neighboring properties operate independently. Antelope, elk, mule deer, and turkey are common throughout the surrounding country, reinforcing the area's long-standing connection to ranching, wildlife, and outdoor recreation. Located just a few miles from the quaint town of Guffey, the property enjoys convenient access to local eateries, live music, and community events, while larger services, shopping, and healthcare are available in Cañon City and Woodland Park. Nearby opportunities for fishing, hiking, hunting, rafting, and exploring public lands add to the appeal, but the true value here is the land itself: forty acres of usable ground, expansive views, and the opportunity to create something lasting in a part of Colorado that still values open space!

The highest portions capture the biggest views, while lower areas offer privacy among the trees and additional building opportunities. Completely unimproved and AG-zoned, this metes-and-bounds parcel remains a blank slate with no HOA, no covenants, and eligibility for a domestic well.

Scattered pine, vibrant aspen pockets, granite outcroppings, natural draws, and seasonal drainage corridors create a setting that feels both expansive and private, with countless vantage points overlooking the surrounding mountains and valleys. Wildlife thrives throughout the property, with frequent elk, mule deer, turkey, and antelope moving between the meadows and timber.
