Old Saddle Ranch For Sale in Pueblo, Colorado For Sale
With its peaceful location, stunning views, and dramatic western landscape of box canyons, bluffs, creek beds and wooded game trails, Old Saddle Ranch offers a potential owner an ideal blend of tranquility, scenery and outdoor adventure, without sacrificing easy access to amenities and services.
Nestled within the Roper division of Red Creek Ranch, a covenant-protected ranch community in southern Colorado?s Wet Mountain foothills, Old Saddle Ranch is 30 minutes from downtown Pueblo, a city of 107,000, and 20 minutes from Beulah, a scenic mountain village with a population of approximately 1,800.
At just over 197 acres, the ranch features a diverse topography, beginning with open grasslands that rise gently toward wooded hills and a dramatic 100-foot bluff. A forest of pinon and juniper provide cover for a network of game trails used by deer, elk, antelope and mountain lion. Deep within the property, a dammed water tank attracts game. The ranch is an ideal setting for hunting, hiking, mountain biking and horseback riding.
The ranch?s frontage on Soda Creek Road is fenced with a double log-rail fence, at its center a log entrance protected with an automatic metal gate. An 1,800-foot driveway leads to a potential home site, which already features electricity; a 400-foot well (15 gpm) with a well pit and hydrant; a 1,700-gallon underground cistern; and a leach field developed to accommodate a 4-bedroom home. Existing soil and percolation reports are available. The home site offers stunning views of Red Creek Ranch, as well as Pikes Peak and the Wet Mountains. The remainder of the ranch is partially fenced, allowing for open-range grazing, which qualifies the property for low agricultural property taxes.
Once part of a historic ranch founded by legendary cattleman and western figure Charles Goodnight, Red Creek Ranch offers landowners amenities such as road maintenance, reasonable protective covenants, and fire protection. Despite its peaceful location, Old Saddle Ranch is just minutes from the Red Creek Ranch fire station, a half-hour from Lake Pueblo State Park (with boating, fishing, and trails for hiking, biking and horseback riding), and a half-hour from the amenities of Pueblo, including two major hospitals, Colorado State University-Pueblo, Pueblo Community College, the Pueblo Memorial Airport, and the annual Colorado State Fair.
Old Saddle Ranch is offered at $345,000. The seller would consider a partial trade for a home in the Pueblo West, Colorado, area.
