Pueblo County, Colorado
Land Description
Hello And Welcome to the Greenhorn Valley, Colorado's Best Kept Secret. Located at the southern end of Colorado's front range in the eastern shadow Mt. Greenhorn is in Colorado City, Colorado. This wonderful community boasts a selection of interspersed homes, stores, schools, restaurants, Hollydot Golf Course, Saddle Club, campground, parks, community pool, creeks, and finally the Beckwith Reservoir and trail system.
Lot 399 Kit Carson Dr is situated in Unit 1, a very desirable section of Colorado City is between the Hollydot golf course just to the East and Lake Beckwith to the West. Several newer homes have been built here over the past few years. The Valley market, the main grocer for the area, is also nearby, just to the southeast near Highway 165. This is the main thoroughfare which links the Greenhorn Valley with Interstate 25.
Just west up the Greenhorn valley on 165 from Colorado City, is picturesque Lake San Isabel and access to the 1.1 Million Acres of the San Isabel National Forest. The city of Pueblo is a 20 minute drive north on Interstate 25. Pueblo has many of the familiar big box stores, shopping, and restaurant amenities of a larger population center. This is where you will find Walmart, Harbor Freight, Home Depot, Lowes, Target, Barnes And Nobel, Dillard's, JCPenney, Kohls, Etc. Pueblo is also home to the famous Pueblo Green Chile and Colorado's most popular lake, Pueblo Reservoir.
Further north on I-25 (about 1 Hour from Colorado City) is Colorado Springs. As much of the front range from Colorado Springs north on I-25 grows, it is getting harder and harder to find affordable real estate with convenient proximity to I-25 and mountain views. You truly get the best of both worlds in Colorado City; with nature and a quiet rural community only a short drive to city amenities. The land in Colorado City is still affordable for now, so if you are looking for some affordable Colorado Land with mountain views that isn't in the cold, dry, and desolate San Luis valley, this is it.

The landscape is stunning and full of recreational opportunities. Residents enjoy hiking, camping, horseback riding, fishing, hunting, wildlife observation, nature photography, sunrise and sunset photography, and time-lapse sunrise projects. Seasonal changes bring spring wildflowers along trails and meadows, summer sunsets reflecting golden and purple hues across the rolling hills, crisp autumn mornings ideal for outdoor photography or camping, and snow-dusted winter peaks perfect for exploration and stargazing. Early-morning mist, golden-hour lighting, and rare rain blooms create extraordinary visual experiences. Low light pollution makes the area ideal for telescope setups, small observatories, and nighttime sky photography. Drone flyovers along washes and open fields enhance exploration and recreational enjoyment.
Landowners have numerous options for practical and recreational enhancements. Many establish storage sheds, fences, small rock walls, benches, picnic areas, pergolas, observation decks, fire pits, hammock setups, bird feeders, small compost bins, pathways, and decorative rock gardens. Solar panels, solar ovens, water tanks, small wind turbines, and portable generators enhance self-sufficiency and off-grid potential. Weekend projects include gardening, planting native vegetation, small-scale farming such as chickens, goats, or rabbits, flying drones or quadcopters for aerial photography, creating outdoor art features, and enhancing miniature landscaping. These improvements can be integrated gradually, reflecting the property's flexibility for recreation, hobby, and long-term use.
Colorado City offers rural seclusion with convenient regional access. Pueblo is only 20-25 minutes away, providing hospitals, medical clinics, schools, grocery stores, and retail centers. Colorado Springs is approximately an hour away, with major highways offering easy travel throughout southern Colorado. This combination allows residents to enjoy quiet, open spaces while remaining connected to cultural and economic hubs.
Affordability is a major advantage. Land prices remain accessible compared to much of Colorado, allowing ownership without the high costs of Front Range towns. Lower property taxes and manageable costs make long-term ownership feasible for families, retirees, and first-time buyers.
The rural lifestyle emphasizes independence, creativity, and connection to nature. Low population density, open spaces, and quiet surroundings encourage a slower pace of life. Residents frequently hike, camp, photograph wildlife, stargaze, fly drones, observe rabbits and birds, experiment with small outdoor projects, and engage in small-scale farming and gardening. Zoning in the area supports these uses, allowing gradual, low-impact property enhancements without restrictive regulations.
Colorado City's climate further enhances its appeal. The region enjoys abundant sunshine, low humidity, and generally mild winters. Summers are warm but moderated by elevation, while winters bring snow and crisp air perfect for outdoor projects, fireside gatherings, or winter wildlife observation. Seasonal variation supports a wide range of outdoor activities, photography, and recreational hobbies.
Community ties remain strong despite the area's small size. Residents share resources, exchange practical advice, and participate in local events, creating a welcoming atmosphere. The culture blends agricultural traditions, outdoor lifestyles, and independent thinking, appealing to buyers seeking authenticity and practical living.
Landownership provides flexibility, creativity, and long-term potential. Owners can gradually enhance their property with functional features, recreational setups, or creative landscaping projects. Pathways, benches, pergolas, observation decks, fire pits, hammock setups, telescope tripods, drones, bird feeders, solar ovens, rock gardens, compost bins, small gardens, and outdoor art features can all be integrated over time. Properties accommodate weekend retreats, seasonal use, or full-time living, allowing owners freedom to enjoy the land at their own pace.
In conclusion, Colorado City, Colorado, combines natural beauty, affordability, rural independence, and long-term potential. Its location near the Greenhorn Mountains and proximity to Pueblo provides both scenic value and practical convenience. Quiet lifestyle, supportive community, flexible land use, and opportunities for gradual enhancement make it ideal for those seeking space, independence, and a meaningful connection to the land. With abundant opportunities for recreation, self-sufficiency, hobby projects, and creative enhancements, Colorado City represents a truly rewarding landownership experience in southern Colorado.
