Property Description

Located between the town of Elbert and Peyton the ranch is 20 miles from Colorado Springs. The west property line fronts on Elbert Road a paved highway providing year around access. From the highway there are rolling grass meadows which elevate to tree covered hills with rock outcroppings and incredible views to the west.

The ranch is fenced and cross fenced into six pastures, with 2 windmills, one additional pond with spring water and underground utilities. Improvements consist of a 40' x 60' two-level barn with partial concrete floor and 5 box stall openings with skylights. Paralleling the highway the property has a graded 4,900 ft. gravel airstrip, FAA approved. The Diamond D Ranch is convenient with the ideal building site. This ranch is suitable for a horse or livestock operation in a beautiful setting along the Front Range, also with development potential. Real estate taxes under $200 per year.
