Gaze out upon this spectacular 80-acre property in Southern Colorado, and you will immediately see what makes it so special. The Great Dikes of Spanish Peaks Country, are walls of vertical Igneous Rock Formations protrudes high above the ground, extending out from Silver Mountain. A portion of the Great Dikes run along the Southern Boundary of the property. This sturdy granite ridge creates a beautiful natural barrier for privacy and protection against the elements.
Extreme pressure and hot molten rock shaped these sturdy vertical rock formations thousands of feet underground among layers of sedimentary rock. After many years of erosion, the softer rock broke away, and these igneous formations rose high over the land. Huerfano County is known for these distinctive geologic features, and this property features them beautifully.
