"To forget how to dig the earth and tend the soil is to forget ourselves" Unknown. Discover one of Colorado's most tranquil and historic scenic getaways with this 317-acre farm in Elbert, CO, offering expansive Pikes Peak views, rich history, and modern amenities. This unique property is a working slice of Colorado heritage, with the historic Cherokee Trail running through it, and has had only two owners in its lifetime. The land features approximately 100 acres of hay production, a serene pond, multiple barns, several loafing sheds, horse stalls, and tree farm. A windmill-fed water system supports agricultural use, and two buried 1,000-gallon propane tanks supply energy alongside a whole-home generator for peace of mind and potential for adding solar for off-grid living.
The main residence is a fully remodeled 1928 1.5-story Bungalow-style farmhouse, restored down to the studs with timeless charm and modern comfort. A beautifully remodeled 1890, 700 sq foot guest home adds character and flexibility for guests or multigenerational living. Perfectly suited for cattle grazing, a hobby farm, equestrian use, or simply a private retreat, this exceptional property includes valuable deep water rights and mineral rights. It's a rare opportunity to own a true Colorado legacy.
