Overview
35 Acre Canon City Homestead
This 35-acre property, located on the outer skirt of Canon City, presents a homesteader's paradise. The Whiskey Park parcel offers freedom and function with no HOA or covenants. County-maintained roads provide access, approximately twelve miles from paved CO 9, leading to a private drive and a valley ringed by timber. The land features open meadows suitable for gardens, animals, and enjoying long views. A 2,691 sq ft concrete foundation is already in place, with plans available from the owner, providing a head start on a main home. A Domestic Well is drilled and approved for uses such as fire protection, ordinary household use inside up to three single family dwellings, watering of poultry, domestic animals, and livestock, and irrigation of up to one acre of gardens and lawns. A new septic system with leach field is installed and ready to connect once a home is built. The property is not connected to grid power, making the broad sunlit clearing perfect for a solar array with room for batteries, greenhouse, workshop, barn, or guest cabin. Pinon, juniper, and ponderosa add privacy, and rolling ground creates extra sites for a studio, equipment shed, or an RV base during construction. A tall game fence encloses an older garden and orchard, allowing for the restart of food production, the addition of raised beds, and the protection of tender starts. Everyday needs, schools, hardware, feed, and healthcare are available in Canon City and Florence. Weekend recreational opportunities include the Arkansas River, Royal Gorge, Shelf Road climbing, and nearby public lands for hiking, fishing, rafting, horseback rides, and big game seasons. Year-round access simplifies living, and the valley orientation provides long light for growing seasons and natural shelter on windy days. This acreage delivers real value for self-reliant buyers who want room to work, breathe, and build equity through effort.
