360 South At Hatchet Ranch

Descriptions

Located southeast of Pueblo, Colorado, "360 South at Hatchet Ranch" is a 40-acre parcel offering unmatched views, abundant wildlife, great investment potential, and an outstanding sense of adventure, all amidst the peace and quiet of unspoiled ranch country.

Land

Fronted by a little-traveled but well-maintained road, this property features dramatic terrain straight out of a Hollywood western, with the centerpiece being part of a private mesa that rises about 180 feet above the remainder of the property. The top of the mesa offers amazing 360-degree views, taking in the Spanish Peaks to the south, Pikes Peak to the north, and the eastern plains. Below the mesa, on its south side, the parcel includes part of a secluded, almost hidden valley, featuring level to rolling terrain and several small hills; this would make a great location for a home, or a terrific place to ride a horse. The property is lightly wooded, and offers some great hiking. BONUS: The adjacent 40.04-acre parcel (360 North at Hatchet Ranch) is also available for purchase.

The recreational opportunities offered by the San Isabel National Forest, the Arkansas River, and Pueblo Reservoir are within easy reach.
