Tucked within the rugged beauty of Cover Mountain Ranch near Guffey, this striking parcel offers a true Colorado mountain experience that is bold, serene, and undeniably captivating. The land begins in a sun-drenched valley and climbs with purpose through a dense forest of mature pine, rewarding the adventurous spirit with a stunning level clearing perched above the world below. It is a solid hike to the top, but the payoff is exceptional: a secluded build site wrapped in towering evergreens, filtered views, and a sense of total escape. Prefer a gentler setup? The lower valley offers another attractive option, with easier access and wide-open skies. For those envisioning a future build, access to electricity is conveniently located along the road, making it easy to bring power to potential homesites. Wildlife is abundant here, and the terrain, marked by dramatic rock outcroppings, varied elevation, and a fragrant forest floor, feels alive with possibility. The area benefits from light community oversight, with well-maintained gravel roads and thoughtful land-use standards that help preserve the long-term value of your investment whether you choose to build now or later. Adventure beckons in every direction, from hiking, horseback riding, and big game hunting in nearby Pike National Forest and BLM lands to fishing and boating at Eleven Mile Reservoir or exploring the vast trail networks of Mueller State Park. Guffey’s charming town center is just minutes away, offering a Charter K-8 school, post office, bakery, seasonal events, and lively eateries with weekend music. More extensive amenities can be found in Cañon City or Woodland Park, both within easy reach. Whether you are dreaming of a private mountain cabin, a seasonal basecamp, or simply holding onto an awe-inspiring slice of Colorado, this property captures the raw beauty and thrill of the high country. Come hike it and you will understand!
