Land in Hotchkiss, Delta County

Description

This exceptional 171-acre mountain property, with an additional 80-acre parcel that corners the main acreage, offers a rare opportunity to own a true Colorado estate. Located just off Powell Mesa Road, this scenic property is surrounded on three sides by BLM land, providing unmatched privacy and access to thousands of acres of public lands. A steel bridge crossing over Fire Mountain Canal leads you onto the property, where a short drive climbs to a stunning plateau building site. From here, enjoy panoramic views of Mt. Lamborn, Lands End, the Raggeds, and the West Elk Mountains — an unbeatable backdrop for your custom mountain home, off-grid retreat, or getaway. Two domestic water wells are located on the southern portion, and DMEA power will be brought to the property. The land features mature pinion and juniper forest, and has been selectively hydro-axed for fire mitigation, creating a healthier forest landscape and improved usability. The western half of the 171-acre parcel is protected by a conservation easement, securing the open space and preventing further development in perpetuity. The remaining acreage offers a beautiful site for building, recreation, or sustainable use. The additional 80-acre parcel to the northeast sits in a rugged, secluded valley with Jay Creek running through it. Though access is more limited, this parcel is ideal for hunting, hiking, and backcountry exploration, with direct access to expansive BLM lands. Located in Colorado Game Management Unit 52, this property is situated in a highly regarded mule deer hunting area known for producing quality bucks. The habitat diversity, water availability, and BLM adjacency make it a perfect hunting base with private or over-the-counter opportunity for multiple game seasons. Whether you're seeking a private retreat, a recreational haven, or a conservation-minded estate, this unique offering represents the best of Western Colorado. Read all Link to original listing
