Escape to true off-grid freedom on 40 private acres in High $500,000

Home For Sale

Escape to true off-grid freedom on 40 private acres in High Chaparral Ranch near Lake George. This 2008 ranch-style home offers 1,248 square feet of comfortable living space with sweeping views of the lake, mountains, and rolling plains in every direction. Tucked at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac with convenient access to Hwy 24, the setting delivers privacy without feeling isolated. Inside you'll find a bright open floor plan with vaulted ceilings, a spacious living area with a wood-burning stove, and large windows that frame amazing Colorado sunsets. The kitchen includes an island, breakfast bar seating, ample storage space and there's a dining area. 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths are all on one level for easy living. Double pane windows, a concrete perimeter foundation, crawl space, and a composition roof provide solid construction. Designed for self-sufficient living, the property is fully off-grid. The seller owned solar power system is included, with a manually operated generator for backup. Water is supplied by cistern, with propane service and septic in place. High-speed internet service is currently available, making remote work a realistic option in this peaceful setting. The 40-acre parcel offers rolling terrain, pasture potential, and big-sky views. Portions are fenced, and the property includes a 1,200-gallon stock tank with windbreak. With no HOA and no restrictive covenants, you have flexibility for agricultural use, livestock, equipment storage, or recreational vehicles (buyer to verify intended use with Park County). Wildlife is abundant with regular sightings of antelope, deer, and other native species. Outdoor recreation is hard to beat: world-class fishing at the Dream Stream, Spinney Reservoir, and Eleven Mile Reservoir, plus quick access to Pike National Forest and Eleven Mile State Park for hunting, hiking, and exploring. Proximity to Hwy 24 makes travel to Hartsel, Woodland Park, and Colorado Springs straightforward while still enjoying true rural seclusion. For buyers who value capability and function, this property is set up as a true basecamp. The fenced areas support grazing or a hobby ranch setup, and the acreage provides room for future improvements such as a barn, shop, additional storage, or a guest cabin (subject to county approval). The open terrain and long sightlines create excellent usability for outdoor recreation, target shooting areas (where permitted), and the kind of privacy that's getting harder to find along the Hwy 24 corridor. If you've been looking for a place where you can disconnect from city noise, live simply, and still stay connected when you need to, this checks the boxes. The location also puts you in the center of some of Colorado's most respected fisheries and public land access. Spend mornings at the reservoirs, afternoons in the forest, and evenings on the porch watching the sky light up. This is the kind of property that works equally well as a full time residence, weekend escape, hunting/fishing headquarters, or long-term land hold with real utility already in place. Additional separately deeded 40-acre parcels owned by the seller may be available under separate agreement, offering expansion or investment potential. Buyers to verify all information including land use, well permit availability, utilities, and off-grid system details.
