About this House
Welcome to Bijou Basin Ranch—80 acres of pristine Colorado land surrounded by rolling grasslands, granite ridges, and towering ponderosa pines. Located in the heart of Elbert County’s most scenic ranching corridor, this expansive property offers unmatched privacy, natural beauty, and boundless potential—whether you're seeking a homestead, equestrian estate, hunting retreat, or long-term land investment.
With no HOA, no covenants, and Agricultural zoning, you’ll enjoy the freedom to create your vision without unnecessary restrictions. The land is easily subdividable into two 40-acre parcels but is offered together as one exceptional opportunity. The gently rolling topography includes open pastures, natural shelter from the surrounding terrain, and multiple elevated building sites with excellent southern exposure.
Wildlife thrives here. The property is home to elk, mule deer, pronghorn, and turkey, and sits within Game Management Unit 105, known for strong populations and over-the-counter elk tags—making it a rare find for hunters, conservationists, or those who simply value nature as their neighbor.
Located just 9.5 miles from Elbert and 20 miles from Kiowa, the ranch feels secluded yet remains easily accessible. Electricity is available nearby for those wanting to connect to the grid, while the land’s terrain and exposure are perfectly suited for off-grid living. Most of the property is fenced, providing flexibility for cattle, horses, or recreational use.
Permitted uses under the agricultural zoning include residential, equestrian, farming, greenhouses, exotic animal keeping, and private shooting galleries, with additional uses—such as guest ranches, campgrounds, or solar installations—available by review.
Whether you're planning to build a dream home, create a multi-generational estate, or secure a private slice of Colorado’s untouched landscape, Bijou Basin Ranch offers the canvas, the freedom, and the setting to make it happen.
