Property details
About 20861 W 160th Hwy
This is more than land — it’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a piece of Colorado that borders national forest, commands world-class views, and offers limitless potential for your dream build or visionary investment. Welcome to 20861 W US Highway 160 — a rare and pristine 72-acre estate located across from Chimney Rock National Monument. From the moment you enter through the private gate, you’re immersed in panoramic 360° vistas stretching from the iconic monoliths of Chimney Rock to the snow-capped San Juan Mountains. This property doesn’t just offer views — it delivers some of Colorado’s best. Professionally engineered with over $200,000 in infrastructure improvements, the property features a winding, expertly excavated driveway designed to showcase the natural beauty of the land while leading you to an elevated building site that feels like the top of the world. Fire mitigation, tree clearing, road grading, and thoughtful land shaping have already been completed — saving you years of effort and cost. With no HOA, no covenants, and residential zoning, you have the freedom to build without limits. Utilities are ready to go, including a tested and approved well, a 1,500-gallon water cistern, electric at the lot line, and septic permitting already underway. Whether your vision is a luxury mountain estate, a multi-home family compound, or a strategic subdivision project, the groundwork has been laid for success. With direct highway access paired with sweeping seclusion, this is one of the few parcels that combine convenience, privacy, and scale at this level. The northern and eastern borders of the property back up to hundreds of miles of San Juan National Forest, making it a gateway to endless outdoor adventure — hiking, horseback riding, wildlife watching, and more — all from your backyard. It’s not uncommon to spot herds of elk, deer, or turkeys wandering through the trees — the land is rich with wildlife and alive with movement year-round. At the crown of the land, a hand-built swing overlooks one of the most jaw-dropping scenes in Colorado. It’s more than a view — it’s a reminder of what’s possible here: a place to pause, imagine, and create a legacy. What truly sets this property apart is its unmatched combination of size, location, and freedom. With 72 acres of prime Colorado land, direct views of Chimney Rock National Monument, adjacency to national forest, over $200,000 in professional land prep and driveway construction, and key utilities already in place, this offering is ready for your vision. The absence of HOA restrictions or covenants gives you full creative control, while residential zoning opens the door to future subdivision potential. Land like this doesn’t come to market often — and when it does, it doesn’t stay long. Whether you’re a discerning buyer looking to create something extraordinary or an investor seeking a one-of-a-kind opportunity, this is your chance to secure a piece of Colorado that’s truly beyond compare.
