Rampart Range Rd, Colorado Springs, CO 80904

Description

1.81 ACRES ON RAMPART RANGE ROAD There are properties that are easy to buy—and then there are properties that are interesting because of where they are. This 1.81-acre parcel is definitely the latter. Set along Rampart Range Road just west of Garden of the Gods, this property offers a remarkable mountain setting with rock outcroppings, trees, scrub oak, and the spectacular scenery that makes this part of Colorado Springs so special. The location puts you close to Garden of the Gods, Manitou Springs, Old Colorado City, and Highway 24. The price reflects the unique nature of the property and the due diligence required. This is not a conventional homesite. The property is zoned PK R-E HS — Public Park, Residential Estate, Hillside Overlay, and utilities are not currently available at the site. Extending utilities could be a significant expense.
Access is another important consideration. The property is reached from Rampart Range Road through a gated area. During periods when the gate is closed, the buyer would need to obtain the appropriate permit for access. Buyers should investigate the current access requirements, seasonal gate closures, permitting, utility availability, and all other development considerations before purchasing. The hillside terrain and location add additional considerations for anyone exploring future use or development. Buyers should independently verify zoning, access, utilities, building or development possibilities, engineering requirements, and all associated costs with the appropriate authorities and professionals.
What this property does offer is something that is much harder to quantify: a small piece of land in an extraordinary location. For the right buyer—someone comfortable with doing the research, understanding the limitations, and taking a long-term view—this could be an intriguing opportunity.Buyer to verify all information regarding zoning, access, gate closures, permitting, utilities, development potential, and associated costs.
