With a half bath and endless character, it’s the perfect creative space for anyone who loves a little history with their hustle. Own a piece of history!
Improvements Step into a piece of Westcliffe history—now reimagined for your next creative chapter.
Just as you enter town at the iconic corner of Main & 3rd, this charming little cabin (could operate as a shop/art studio) offers something you simply can’t recreate: authentic character built over 140+ years of evolving local history.
Originally part of the town’s earliest commercial hub in the 1880s—when Westcliffe was a bustling railroad and mining center—this site has lived many lives. It served as a grocery store, post office, and even a forest reserve office before being transformed in 1936 into a row of cozy “camp cabins” during the rise of automobile travel. By the 1940s, it became the beloved Voss Cottage Camp, later rebranded with a wink of humor as the unforgettable “Toad Hollow Hotel”—complete with the slogan: “Where kids with warts stay free.”
Today, this particular cabin carries that legacy forward as a unique commercial space, perfect for an art studio, boutique shop, or any other creative retreat that you can imagine.
Highlights:

Prime “gateway to town” location with excellent visibility
Historic cabin with preserved charm and personality
Flexible commercial use (currently a shop/art studio)
Convenient half bath
Part of one of Westcliffe’s most recognizable and story-rich properties

This isn’t just a space—it’s a conversation piece. A place where every wall holds a story, and every visitor feels it the moment they walk in.
If you’re the kind of person who values authenticity, character, and a sense of place…this is your opportunity to become part of Westcliffe’s living history.

Region & Climate 
Southern Colorado Weather – Beautiful all year-round
Maytag Ranch sits in a beautiful valley between the picturesque Wet Mountains and the stunning Sangre de Cristo Range and benefits from a mild, temperate climate. With over 300 days of sunshine each year, inclement weather will rarely interrupt your outdoor pursuits. The elevation at the ranch ranges from 7,300’ to 8,300’.

Lake Creek Homestead at Maytag Ranch

4,800+ SF custom home at the base of the Sangres with vaulted ceilings, stucco fireplace, Alder kitchen, and radiant in-floor heat. Includes heated SwimEx pool, greenhouse, and 2-car garage. Irrigated meadow with water rights and North Taylor Creek running through. Ideal for horses or cattle, with privacy, views, and true Colorado mountain living.
Land This is the kind of ground folks look for but don’t often find. Sitting on the west side of the Wet Mountain Valley, the land opens up into a green, irrigated meadow with the Sangre de Cristo Mountains rising right behind it. North Taylor Creek runs through the property, backed by water rights totaling 2.4 CFS, with three rights from the Landendorfer Ditch (Case 2012CW90). That water keeps the grass coming in thick, making it well-suited for horses or a few head of cattle. It’s a rare mix—usable, productive land with real water and a setting that’s hard to beat.

Improvements Built like a place meant to last, this 4,800+ square foot home stands solid at the base of the Sangres, with a warm, western feel the minute you walk in. The great room opens up with vaulted ceilings, a big stucco fireplace, and a full wall of built-ins, all tied together with stained concrete floors that are as tough as they are good-looking. The kitchen keeps things classic with Alder cabinets and black granite tops. The main bedroom sits on the main level with its own access to the deck, plus a roomy bath with double sinks, soaking tub, and separate shower. You’ll also find another bedroom, office, full bath, and laundry all on the main floor. Downstairs is set up for relaxing or entertaining with a rec room, another bedroom, ¾ bath, a heated SwimEx pool, and even an attached greenhouse. The 2-car garage is 852 square feet of space. The home is heated right with both a propane furnace and a Froling Turbo 3000 wood boiler feeding an 820-gallon storage system for in-floor heat, hot water, and even the pool. Efficient, practical, and built with intention—this place carries a five-star energy rating.
 The property is connected to the electrical grid but is thoughtfully supported by a solar system that handles the home’s daily power needs. For additional peace of mind, a whole-house propane generator provides backup power when needed, which the owners have never needed to use,  giving this home a practical blend of independence and reliability.


Recreation Life out here is meant to be lived outside. Step off the porch and you’ve got room to roam—whether that’s riding, hiking, or just taking in the quiet. The creek brings a steady, peaceful sound, and the mountains call for exploring. Wildlife moves through the valley, the skies stay dark at night, and there’s no shortage of fresh air. When you’re not out on the land, you’ve got your own heated pool and greenhouse to enjoy year-round. This is the kind of place where days slow down and evenings stretch out.

History Beulah, Colorado, was  First Settled as Fisher’s Hole in 1840s, but its notorious history began as Mace’s Hole, a bandit hideout for Juan Mace in the 1850s.
The town was officially renamed Beulah in 1876 after a local preacher suggested the biblical name, meaning “married,” as a more wholesome alternative. Later, Beulah became known as a quiet ranching community and a summer resort, famous for its red marble, which was used in the Colorado State Capitol. 



Early history: The area was originally inhabited by Native American tribes before being rediscovered by settlers in the 1840s and named Fisher’s Hole by trapper Robert Fiser.
Mace’s Hole era: In the 1850s, the name was changed to Mace’s Hole after Juan Mace, a cattle rustler who used the valley as a hideout. The area was also a temporary base for Confederate troops.
Renaming to Beulah: A local preacher proposed the biblical name Beulah, meaning “married,” and the name stuck. On October 25, 1876, the Post Office was officially renamed Beulah.
Mining and resort development: Beulah developed into a quiet ranching community, and later, a summer resort. In the 1880s and 1890s, Beulah red marble was quarried and used in the construction of the Colorado State Capitol.
Modern era: Beulah remains a small community today, known for its tranquil atmosphere, ranching, and recreational opportunities in the surrounding Pueblo Mountain Park. 

Location Located just 20 miles from Pueblo, you’ll find easy access to supplies, dining, and healthcare — yet feel a world away once you return home. The charming town of Beulah offers a close-knit mountain community with local events, friendly neighbors, and scenic drives. The area is known for its rugged landscapes, rich wildlife, and pure mountain air — a place where stars still shine bright and the days move at nature’s pace.

History Elbert HistoryA Brief History: Farming, Railroads, and Community
Elbert is a quaint prairie town located south of Kiowa on Elbert Road. The community was first settled around 1860 in the valley of Kiowa Creek. Originally known as Gomer’s Gulch—named for Gomer’s Sawmill—the town was made up of a post office, stores, gambling halls, and saloons. Later, the town was relocated slightly downstream and renamed Elbert.
In the 1880s, the Denver and New Orleans Railroad (later the Colorado and Southern Railroad) extended a line from Denver to Pueblo, with Elbert as one of its stops. The town grew quickly and, at its height, featured three large mercantile stores (including the Russell Gates Mercantile Company), two banks, a post office, two creameries, two hotels, and a wide range of businesses typical of a thriving prairie community.
Today, Elbert retains much of its historic charm. The Presbyterian Church, built in 1889, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The Russell Gates Mercantile Building, constructed in 1906, now serves as a community gathering place and is being lovingly restored by the Elbert Woman’s Club. The Sacred Heart Catholic Church has been carefully restored, the old post office now houses a café, the Elbert Mercantile has become the South Forty Saloon, and the old lumber shed is home to City Limit Antiques & Reclaimed Materials. More recent additions include the Dancing Wolf Gallery, A Cowgirl’s Heart Boutique and Gallery, Colorado Green Houses, and the offices of Kamerzell Brothers Well & Pump Service.
Location  Perfectly located in the heart of Elbert, this home is walking distance to the K–12 school, local restaurants, and antique shopping. Just 30 minutes to Colorado Springs, Castle Rock, or Parker, and an easy commute to Denver. Enjoy small-town charm with big-city amenities close by.

History History of the area
This land is teeming with life and energy that you can feel. Rich with history and natural beauty, the spirit of the land is full of originality and freedom; Shadow Mountain is an incredible place to be.
Nestled in foothills 15 miles southwest of Denver, Conifer is far enough from the big city to feel like a true mountain community, but still close enough for visitors to enjoy all Denver has to offer.
Hills in Conifer, now sprinkled with new homes, were first occupied by Arapaho, Ute and Cheyenne tribes who used the area as a hunting ground. Native Americans were followed by merchants, trappers, ranchers and miners. Historic Reynolds Park, about five miles outside Conifer, stands as a memorial to Conifer’s pioneer era, and the trails originating here range from rolling to rugged.
In the late 1800s, roads carved into the foothills opened Conifer and surrounding areas to those in search of adventure and wealth. In 1861, Major Robert Bradford developed a toll road from his home in what is now Ken Caryl, west over the foothills, and then up South Turkey Creek to what was then called Bradford Junction and is today where the Yellow Barn is located.  The Bradford Toll road intersected with the Bergen Park Toll Road coming down from the north. In 1936 Noah Legault was interviewed about his memories of the old Bradford Toll Road.
Today, a mix of rustic cabins and new, state-of-the-art homes peek from behind expanses of blue spruce, pine, fir and aspen trees. What does stand out is this town’s abundance of natural beauty. The Pike National Forest, which runs right through town, provides a home for deer, elk, foxes, birds and rabbits. In the spring and summer, seasonal wildflowers carpet Conifer’s hills. The city also maintains multiple parks.

Region & Climate Location Overview
Rimcrest on The St Charles River is located  just Southwest of Pueblo, Colorado, in Pueblo County, on the eastern plains of the state. This semi-arid region is at about 5,200 feet  elevation, influenced by the rain shadow of the Rocky Mountains to the west.  It features abundant sunshine (over 3,600 hours annually), low humidity, and a large diurnal temperature swing (up to 40°F daily). Historical data is based on records from Pueblo Memorial Airport (1991–2020 normals, with some dating back to 1888).
Climate Classification and General Patterns

Semi-Arid Steppe Climate: Dry overall, with low precipitation (12–18 inches/305–457 mm annually) and moderate temperatures. About 75% of rain falls April–September via thunderstorms; winters are dry and cold, with March as the snowiest month and April/May the wettest.
Variability: Elevation creates microclimates—lower plains like this area get hotter summers and less snow than nearby foothills. Chinook winds can cause rapid winter warm-ups (up to 70°F/21°C). The area is on the edge of Tornado Alley, prone to hail, high winds, and occasional floods from intense storms.

History The Westcliffe and Silver Cliff area in Colorado boasts a rich history, deeply intertwined with ranching and the presence of the Ute Indians. Before European settlers arrived, the Ute Indians inhabited the region, relying on its natural resources for sustenance. As ranching gained prominence in the late 19th century, settlers, drawn by the fertile lands and abundant grazing, established ranches in the area. The expansive grasslands proved ideal for cattle ranching, and the ranchers played a pivotal role in shaping the local economy.  Over time, the Westcliffe and Silver Cliff area became a hub for ranching activities, contributing significantly to the growth and development of the region. Today, remnants of this historical legacy can be seen in the landscape, reflecting the enduring influence of both ranching and the indigenous Ute culture on the area’s heritage.

Ute Ranch

Experience Colorado wilderness without sacrificing ease of living. This 121.43-acre property (two legally defined parcels: an 81.42-acre parcel and a 40.01-acre parcel) in Custer County, Colorado, neighbors 220,803 acres of wilderness and is just six miles from the quaint old-west mining town of Westcliffe. Land This is a rare opportunity to purchase a large, undeveloped Colorado property with power, two building sites, that allows horses, and with easy accessibility. It is the perfect balance of country living and access to top-rated Colorado and New Mexico cities within an easy drive.
Do you dream of building a new mountain home or vacation getaway, one that offers a spectacular mountain-majesty Colorado view coupled with easy access to hiking, camping, boating, hunting, and summer and snow sports?
With 250 days of sunny skies a year, this quiet, private parcel gives you million-dollar views of the spectacular Sangre de Cristo Mountains and several of its 10 “fourteeners.” The Sangre de Cristos (Spanish for “Blood of Christ”) are named for the brilliant colors of lavender, red & pink splashed on the peaks during sunset & sunrise.
Designated for residential, ranching, and farming use, the parcel’s terrain is home to abundant wildlife of mule deer, pronghorn antelope, eagles, bobcats, mountain lion, and bear. Waving grass meadows and wildflowers give way to groves of narrow-leaf cottonwoods, and forests of Ponderosa pine, Juniper, and Pinon. Two deep, wide gulches, including the historic Carolina Gulch, are fed by seasonal underground springs.
Despite the unparalleled privacy, this land is easily accessible from Colorado Hwy 96 via a 2-mile, well-maintained dirt/gravel road.
Electricity crosses both parcels on recently upgraded power lines and is available on the north parcel via two existing drops approximately 500 feet from likely building sites. One residential well allowance accompanies each building envelope.
The property lies on the western shoulder of the Wet Mountains, bordering the Wet Mountain Valley to the west. Westcliffe — the county seat for Custer County — supports thriving arts, theater and retail community. Custer County’s population in 2024 was 5,534, one of the least populated in Colorado.
The 121.43-acre property is divided into two legally defined parcels: a northern 81.42-acre parcel and a southern 40.01-acre parcel. The property is bordered by 640 acres of State Trust land to the north, more than 1,000 acres of conservation easement-protected private land to the east, and a tract of several thousand acres more to the west. The State Trust land is part of a system of public land held in a trust and used for public beneficiaries, in this case, support of Colorado public schools.
There are no HOA or HOA dues: covenants filed with the original Cottonwood Springs Ranch (CSR) plats are in effect but have not been in play or enforced for many years.
In December 2007, the property was placed under a conservation easement with San Isabel Land Protection Trust, now Colorado Open Lands. The easement permanently protects the property from additional development and increased density and is one of several protected parcels in the immediate area. The easement outlines the rights of the land trust and property owner and permitted uses, including full conveyances; the right to construct up to two single-family dwellings and other new, non-residential structures and fences; and the ability to conduct ranching and farming operations, among other rights.
North 81-acre Parcel and Building Envelope
The main, north parcel features an extended hillside stand of pine, junipers, and piñon, a gulch, and a 4-acre building envelope with a small, off-the-grid cabin (needs septic prior to occupancy).
If requested, the sale includes initial plans for a custom, 2,000 sq. ft., three-bedroom, open-floor plan home with outdoor living spaces and an attached garage, designed by Westcliffe Builders, one of the valley’s premiere custom home builders.
The insulated, 252 sq. ft. cabin was built with gorgeous beetle-kill pine from the Trinidad, Colorado area. The cabin can serve as a quest quarters or office and could be expanded and amended with electricity, septic, and water hookups. There is also a detached 8’x8′ Tuff Shed with workbench and room for storage.
South 40-acre Parcel and Building Envelope
The south parcel, with a 3-acre building envelope, enjoys the same level of privacy and spectacular views of the north parcel. There is easy access from the eastern road, and electricity is available from the power line immediately east of the building envelope. This parcel offers future development possibilities such as the construction and sale of a possible spec home or a close-by residence for friends and family.

History Beulah, Colorado, was  First Settled as Fisher’s Hole in 1840s, but its notorious history began as Mace’s Hole, a bandit hideout for Juan Mace in the 1850s.
The town was officially renamed Beulah in 1876 after a local preacher suggested the biblical name, meaning “married,” as a more wholesome alternative. Later, Beulah became known as a quiet ranching community and a summer resort, famous for its red marble, which was used in the Colorado State Capitol.
Early history: The area was originally inhabited by Native American tribes before being rediscovered by settlers in the 1840s and named Fisher’s Hole by trapper Robert Fiser.

Mace’s Hole era: In the 1850s, the name was changed to Mace’s Hole after Juan Mace, a cattle rustler who used the valley as a hideout. The area was also a temporary base for Confederate troops.
Renaming to Beulah: A local preacher proposed the biblical name Beulah, meaning “married,” and the name stuck. On October 25, 1876, the Post Office was officially renamed Beulah.
Mining and resort development: Beulah developed into a quiet ranching community, and later, a summer resort. In the 1880s and 1890s, Beulah red marble was quarried and used in the construction of the Colorado State Capitol.
Modern era: Beulah remains a small community today, known for its tranquil atmosphere, ranching, and recreational opportunities in the surrounding Pueblo Mountain Park.

History The History of Bull Domingo Ranch: A Modern-Day Frontier
In the late 1800s, the Bull Domingo Ranch in Colorado’s Wet Mountain Valley roared to life during Custer County’s silver mining frenzy. Born from the legendary Bull Domingo Mine, a powerhouse of silver, lead, and zinc, the area buzzed with fortune-seekers as Silver Cliff swelled to over 5,000 residents by 1880. Stamp mills thundered, pulling riches from the earth, but a tragic mine disaster claimed 10 lives, marking the boom’s peak and eventual decline as the silver veins ran dry. Yet, the rugged spirit of this land never faded, setting the stage for a new chapter in the modern-day frontier!
By the 20th century, the valley transformed from mining scars to sprawling ranchlands, with Bull Domingo evolving into a premier subdivision near Westcliffe. Today, this electrifying expanse of meadows and piñon pines offers exclusive access to 65,000 acres of BLM wilderness and the trout-laden Grape Creek. A haven for equestrian adventurers and dream-home builders, Bull Domingo pulses with the promise of untamed exploration under the Sangre de Cristo peaks—a vibrant, modern frontier where Colorado’s wild heart beats strong!

ACT engineers invented the very first oxygen-controlled altitude simulation system in 1995. We engineered the world’s first oxygen-controlled altitude simulation system, the most advanced solution for medical research and mountain homes. Since then, we’ve been pushing the boundaries of innovation. We bring you more natural sleep, less hypoxic stress, and better energy throughout the day. All without interrupting your lifestyle or impacting the beauty of your home.
 
ACT’s award-winning altitude simulation technology oxygenates and lowers effective altitude by up to 7,000 feet in your high-altitude home to eliminate altitude sickness and related insomnia.
Altitude Control Technology has installed over 3,000 oxygen control systems with clients, including Harvard Medical School, the Smithsonian, the US Naval Air Systems Command, the University of Colorado Altitude Research Center, and the US Olympic Training Center.
There is a reason why thousands of people have chosen ACT. Proprietary technologies ensure that ACT’s altitude simulation system truly simulates lower altitude to eliminate altitude-related insomnia, headaches, moodiness, and fatigue.
 
Feel Good in the Mountains.  Feeling good at altitude starts with healthy oxygen levels and a good night’s sleep. The safest, most effective oxygenation systems on the planet.
HOW ALTITUDE SIMULATION TECHNOLOGY WORKS
ACT’s air separation technology delivers oxygen to your room where sensors for oxygen, air quality and barometric pressure send information to ACT’s award-winning controller. The controller adjusts oxygen levels based on barometric pressure to simulate sea level; all while meeting standards for air quality and fire safety.  It is a true altitude simulation. That is why it has been chosen by more than 50 medical schools and research institutions around the world.

History History of Cuerno Verde Pines
Cuerno Verde Pines is a residential community located in the Wet Mountain Valley of Custer County, Colorado, southeast of the towns of Westcliffe and Silver Cliff. It spans approximately 3,667 acres on the western slope of the Wet Mountains, overlooking the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. The community consists of 537 tracts (lots), each typically 5-6 acres in size, with over 225 acres dedicated to parks, open spaces, and common areas for hiking, wildlife viewing, and recreation. County-maintained roads provide access, and the area is known for its natural beauty, including streams, canyons, and elevations ranging from about 8,227 to 8,897 feet.
Origins of the Name
The name “Cuerno Verde” (Spanish for “green horn”) derives from a prominent 18th-century Comanche chief known as Cuerno Verde, who led raids against Spanish settlements in the region during the 1700s. In September 1779, Spanish forces under Governor Juan Bautista de Anza defeated Cuerno Verde and about 50 warriors in a battle at the base of what is now Greenhorn Mountain, approximately 20 miles southeast of the subdivision in the San Isabel National Forest.  The mountain and nearby features were later named “Greenhorn” in reference to the chief, whose nickname came from the “green” (young and bold) antlers of bull elk or deer used in Comanche headdresses. The community borrows this name, tying it to the broader Native American and colonial history of southern Colorado.
Location Just a short drive to downtown Westcliffe, where the coffee’s hot, folks wave when they pass, and the pace feels just right. This is real Colorado—uncomplicated, open, and alive with possibility.

History Beulah, Colorado, was  First Settled as Fisher’s Hole in 1840s, but its notorious history began as Mace’s Hole, a bandit hideout for Juan Mace in the 1850s.
The town was officially renamed Beulah in 1876 after a local preacher suggested the biblical name, meaning “married,” as a more wholesome alternative. Later, Beulah became known as a quiet ranching community and a summer resort, famous for its red marble, which was used in the Colorado State Capitol.
 
 

Early history: The area was originally inhabited by Native American tribes before being rediscovered by settlers in the 1840s and named Fisher’s Hole by trapper Robert Fiser.
Mace’s Hole era: In the 1850s, the name was changed to Mace’s Hole after Juan Mace, a cattle rustler who used the valley as a hideout. The area was also a temporary base for Confederate troops.
Renaming to Beulah: A local preacher proposed the biblical name Beulah, meaning “married,” and the name stuck. On October 25, 1876, the Post Office was officially renamed Beulah.
Mining and resort development: Beulah developed into a quiet ranching community, and later, a summer resort. In the 1880s and 1890s, Beulah red marble was quarried and used in the construction of the Colorado State Capitol.
Modern era: Beulah remains a small community today, known for its tranquil atmosphere, ranching, and recreational opportunities in the surrounding Pueblo Mountain Park.

History The town of Penrose, Colorado,
originated as the “Beaver Creek settlement” and was later known as Glendale. It was incorporated as “Fremont” in 1908 before being renamed Penrose in 1909 after businessman Spencer Penrose, who was investing in the area’s water rights. The town is known for its historical agricultural roots, its connection to the railroad, and its modern status as a farming community with a link to the Broadmoor Hotel and other landmarks in the region.



Early Settlement: The area was initially a stagecoach stop along Beaver Creek, with a post office established in 1868. Early settlers farmed the land, and the community was known as Glendale.
Spencer Penrose’s Influence: In 1907, Spencer Penrose, a successful mining entrepreneur, bought water rights in the area and created the town of Fremont in 1908. When the post office was moved from Glendale in 1909, the town was renamed Penrose in his honor.
Railroad and Agriculture: A railroad, the Penrose, Beaver and Northern Railroad, was built in 1909 to transport the local agricultural products, especially fruits and vegetables, to a cannery located at the train station near the current-day Apple Shed.
Community and Legacy: The town continued to grow into the early 1910s with new shops and schools. In 1915, Spencer Penrose donated a statue, known as the “Boy with the Boot,” to the town, which remains a prominent landmark.




Modern Era: Following an economic decline after World War I, Penrose became a bedroom community with a focus on agriculture. Today, the area is still known for its farming, particularly apple and pumpkin picking. 

 
Location You can’t beat the location—next door to the Penrose Library, and just minutes from Ft. Carson, Canon City, Pueblo, and Colorado Springs. Easy commutes, country quiet, and close to everything you need.
 Penrose is a community that still values neighbors, fresh air, and a slower pace of life. It’s a great spot for those who want small-town comfort with big-town convenience just down the road.
