Bordering BLM - 40 Acres of Rugged Colorado Wilderness. No HOA * No Covenants * Off-Grid Freedom. If you've been searching for that one-of-a-kind Colorado property, this is it. Set deep within the Iron Mountain Wilderness, this 40-acre parcel borders BLM land and offers everything you'd want in a private mountain retreat: towering ponderosa pines, impressive rock outcroppings, and a mix of usable terrain and rugged beauty that invites exploration. With multiple building sites to choose from-some east-facing for morning light, others west-facing for evening glow-you'll have the freedom to craft your vision, whether that's a weekend escape, full-time home, or wilderness basecamp. No HOA, no covenants, and only Fremont County zoning regulations apply, giving you true flexibility to build, camp, or simply invest in raw land without restrictions. This property offers direct access to BLM for hiking, hunting, or exploring right out your back door. Located within the greater Arkansas River Valley of Southern Colorado, the region is a year-round destination for outdoor recreation including gold medal fishing, whitewater rafting, ATV trails, and miles of hiking. Nearby mountain towns like Salida, Westcliffe, and Canon City offer a rich blend of charm, art, and amenities. With hot springs, rock climbing, and dark sky stargazing all within reach, the area is perfect for those seeking both adventure and solitude. This is the Colorado you've been looking for-wild, private, and full of possibility. Bring your boots and your vision. Properties like this are rare and don't stay on the market for long.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
