40 Acres

Placerville, Colorado, 81430

Discover a rare, private, square 40-acre legacy parcel free from HOA restrictions. Surrounded by massive historic ranching tracts, this trophy property ensures an unreplicable feeling of vast privacy, low density, immense solitude, and grandeur. The entire southern boundary directly borders the Uncompahgre National Forest, offering a seamless gateway into the Lizard Head Wilderness Area and the pristine upper headwaters of the Bilk, Muddy & Magpie basins. Your arrival is framed by a classic Colorado rural setting, entering through rolling ranch land via a legally secured driveway route with construction infrastructure plans underway. The land itself features an ideal blend of topographical majesty. Mature aspen forests & evergreen glades frame a vast, hidden centerpiece meadow with fingers of side pastures extending into the trees to create intimate privacy nooks. Enhanced by a natural spring, absolute water/spring rights, and lush vegetation, the property is a front-row sanctuary to forest and wilderness. The views are utterly stupefying: an in-your-face panorama of the iconic Wilson Range, a dramatic visual portal to Lizard Head, and sweeping, near-360-degree vistas that stretch across the San Juan Mountains to the La Sal Range in Utah. Wilderness Edge is a premier holding for the discerning buyer who demands significant solitude, unparalleled grandeur, and the rare opportunity to enjoy an incredible setting.
