2.02 Acres | Cotopaxi / Texas Creek, Fremont County, Colorado
Looking for a home base for Colorado adventures? The moment you realize how quiet it is out here, you understand why this land is different. This 2.02 acre parcel sits high in the foothills of Fremont County at roughly 7,720 feet with dense pine cover all around, rugged slopes, public land just feet away, and wide-open mountain air that feels earned, not handed to you. This is not a drive-up, park-and-play lot. This is land for people who value effort, solitude, and access to the real outdoors.

**boundary approximate**
Tucked into the Florida Colorado Acres subdivision near Cotopaxi, this property has access through county easements, though the terrain makes access challenging and best suited for those who appreciate off-grid thinking and outdoor navigation. The hilly topography creates privacy, natural separation from neighbors, and a setting that feels far removed from the modern rush. Public land is only two lots over, making it a beautiful home base for adventures.
The land itself is covered in mature trees with natural clearings and elevation changes that create multiple potential use areas depending on your vision and experience level. Zoned for single-family residential use, the parcel allows for a site-built home, manufactured home, or mobile home that meets county requirements. RV use is permitted during active construction with a valid building permit.
If your idea of paradise includes star-filled skies, and direct proximity to public lands, trails, and high-desert mountain terrain, this property delivers exactly that.

🌄 Why Fremont County and South Central Colorado?
Fremont County offers a rare balance of open land, public access, and small-town infrastructure. Residents enjoy lower population density, expansive outdoor recreation, and fewer development pressures than many parts of Colorado. The county is known for its high-desert climate, long views, and access to national forests, BLM land, and mountain recreation.
The Cotopaxi and Texas Creek area sits between two highly regarded mountain towns. Cañon City provides essential services, dining, medical facilities, and access to the Royal Gorge corridor, while Westcliffe is known for its dark skies, mountain views, and proximity to the Sangre de Cristo range. Together, they anchor this part of South Central Colorado as a destination for outdoor-focused living.
From OHV trails at Texas Creek to hiking near Rainbow Lakes and day trips into the Wet Mountains, this area rewards those who want to be outside more than they want to be surrounded by pavement.
🧭 Access, Utilities, and Practical Notes
The property is accessed by legal easement rather than direct road frontage, and the terrain is steep in places, making physical access challenging. Buyers should be comfortable evaluating slopes, access routes, and building placement with professionals if future development is planned.
Water would be supplied by a private well, and a septic system would be required. Electric service may be available through local providers, and propane is typical for the area. The parcel is outside any known HOA.
This is land for novice and experienced outdoor-minded buyers alike, who understand terrain, value privacy, and are looking for a foothold in the Colorado mountains that still places them within reach of towns, highways, and year-round recreation and public lands.
