Sunset Ridge delivers a diverse and grand view of the Central Colorado’s mountain topography. Set upon a beautiful mountain plateau, the meadow overlooks the picturesque and peaceful Slater Creek Valley with views of towering rocky bluffs, meandering creek and scattered ponds. Area wildlife (elk, mule deer) as well as cattle and horses can be seen sharing the green pastures and sparkling water. Long distance views of the Sangre’s, Pikes Peak, and Western Mountain Ranges circle the plateau providing amazing sights of mountain scenery in every direction! The High Chateau Fire swept through these acres in the Summer of 2018, so the property’s landscape is currently being restructured and redefined. Mother Nature’s resilience coupled with the Landowners attention and stewardship of the land, has facilitated its recovery. Trees have been removed, mulched and returned to the land to lay the foundation for continued forest rejuvenation and health. From the meadow, the property slopes towards the valley floor so you will have plenty of exploring to do through meadows, pines and numerous clusters of rock outcroppings. The seasonal spring is easy to find thanks to the colorful display of vibrant wildflowers, grasses and new forest growth. Access is from a quiet cul-de-sac that leads to an open, grassy meadow with a natural building site along the crest of the plateau. Envision your future home right here - large wraparound windows & decks that capture all the inspiring views & incredible sunsets! Electric and phone hookups are at the property line and propane and satellite services are available. It is part of a gated community with year-round access and located only one hour west of Colorado Springs. Nearby you will find fishing (Wright Reservoir), BLM Lands for additional recreation (hunting, swimming in the Guffey Plunge, ATV and other sports) & amenities such as restaurants, schools, medical care, groceries, entertainment and gaming. Sunset Ridge is positioned in southwesterly fashion atop a mountain plateau where you can expect to find endless mountain scenery throughout the day with magically sunsets and star-filled nights!
