Mountain View Ranch

Spanning 217.74 contiguous acres in the tranquil Black Forest ranch country northeast of Colorado Springs, this expansive portfolio represents a premier investment opportunity.

Land

With no covenants or association, this unencumbered land combines unmatched freedom with incredible development potential under flexible RR-5 zoning, which opens the door for strategic future subdivision. The ranch has already been surveyed into six distinct parcels, each offering its own unique profile. The diverse, dramatic landscape features rolling meadows, rich pastures, stands of mature pines, rock formations, natural springs, and seasonal ponds that attract deer, elk, antelope, and turkey. Featuring some of the region’s most breathtaking views of Pikes Peak and the Front Range, the property sits just 28 miles north of the Colorado Springs Airport and a manageable 45-mile commute from the Denver Tech Center. Whether acquired as a sprawling single ranch, a multi-generational family compound, an equestrian haven, or a phased development project, a purchase secures a total of 24 acre-feet of valuable water rights across these six versatile parcels.
Parcel 1
This 35.94-acre tract features a classic landscape of ponderosa pines, dramatic rock formations, and stunning Pikes Peak views. A gentle slope climbs to a bench that blends thick stands of pines and wide-open meadows with abundant grazing. Deer, elk, antelope, and turkey are frequently on the property. The sellers have valued existing improvements at zero in the listing price, meaning they come with the land as gratis assets. These include several legacy outbuildings, an outstanding 40×40 3-stall horse barn built in 2004 (complete with a tack room, hay storage, and loft), and a charming 1914 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom home with hardwood floors. While the house is fully livable and would make an amazing remodel project, buyers can also choose to develop from scratch across many potential home sites. Utilities and infrastructure are already in place, including an active 335-foot domestic well on record producing the legal maximum 15 gpm. 4 acre-feet of water rights come with the property.
Parcel 2
Comprising 35.56 acres, this parcel features open grassland that ascends past a dramatic pine/rockface windbreak toward rich upper pastures dotted with pines. Two 16×32 legacy buildings are on this parcel, and convey at no cost, providing immediate utility for storage or livestock. The land meets the acreage requirement for a domestic well permit, and will make an outstanding ranchette or horse property, with many potential home sites. This parcel sells with 4 acre-feet of water rights.
Parcel 3
At 40.83 acres, this corner parcel has rolling terrain on its south end, climbing gently to level ground accented by an island of rock formations and mature pines, just in front of a seasonal pond. The parcel offers abundant grazing and multiple home sites. A working windmill draws water from a 225-ft livestock well, on record as producing 10 gpm on construction. The property meets the acreage requirement for a domestic well, and a purchase comes with 4 acre-feet of water rights.
Parcel 4
Tucked away from the county road, this 35.21-acre parcel offers quiet seclusion amid wide-open, rolling meadows, ample pasture, and a seasonal pond — an environment that attracts deer, elk, antelope, and turkey. There are numerous potential home sites, and this property meets the acreage requirement for a domestic well permit. Parcel 4 includes part of an FAA-registered airstrip (shared with Parcel 5, also for sale; no infrastructure or visible runway), providing a unique angle for aviators. The airstrip needn’t be put to use by a new owner, and doesn’t interfere with other uses. This parcel sells with 4 acre-feet of water rights.
Parcel 5
Offering an end-of-the-road location, this 35.13-acre tract features abundant grazing and a level to gently rolling landscape dotted by young pines and offering numerous potential home sites. It shares the FAA-registered airstrip with Parcel 4 (also for sale, no infrastructure or visible runway). The airstrip needn’t be put to use by a new owner, and doesn’t interfere with other uses. The parcel meets the acreage requirement for a domestic well permit, and sells with 4 acre-feet of water rights.
Parcel A
The southern end of this 35.07-acre parcel has dramatic, rolling pasture crossed by draws and stream beds, and accented by a natural spring and a seasonal pond. Secluded but easily accessible, the property features a gentler landscape toward the back of the parcel, with numerous building sites leading toward a thick stand of neighboring pines. The property meets the acreage requirement for a domestic well permit, and sells with 4 acre-feet of water rights.
