Region & Climate The property sits at about 6,000 feet in the heart of the Great Plains. It features gently rolling grasslands and wide-open skies.

Abundant sunshine and clear nights make for spectacular stargazing.

History The Colorado Plains have a rich history stretching back thousands of years. Indigenous tribes like the Cheyenne, Arapaho, Kiowa, and Comanche roamed the plains, and European explorers, like Coronado in the 1540s, passed through the area. Later, the Pike’s Peak Gold Rush and the Homestead Act in the 1860s drew settlers and ranchers, transforming the plains into farmland and cattle country. Today, the region remains a blend of agricultural tradition and natural beauty.

Location About 50 miles from Colorado Springs Airport, and roughly 80 to 100 miles from Denver Airport, the nearest town is Simla, which is about a short drive away and offers a grocery store, restaurants, and a school. Calhan is about 14 miles away, and Limon or Kiowa, both  just over  20 miles away, offers more shopping and services. This gives you a nice balance of rural seclusion with accessible amenities.
