Stoney Face Mountain
229 Firebox Road : Canon City, CO 81212
Fremont County, Colorado
Farm Description
38 acres located on the Northwest slope of Stoney Face Mountain. This property is bordered by thousands of acres of BLM public land on 2 sides. Panoramic views of the surrounding Mountains include the Collegiate Peaks to the West, and the Continental Divide to the North. Including 2 newer tiny homes, and a 40'x60' pole barn. It also includes a well, concrete septic tank and leach field. There is a partially pre-dug pit for a future home site.
Land
The property itself sits in a protected valley with privacy from the county road. Topography is rolling on both sides of the valley floor. With Aspen and mixed coniferous forest all around the perimeter of the property. There is a small stock pond located in the valley and the entire perimeter of the property is fenced with barbed wire. This could be the perfect base camp for horses. The county road is not maintained in the winter, but one could plow about 2 miles of road during those winters that the property receives significant snowfall. Most winters don't see a significant amount of snowfall, so it could be a good place to build your future year round residence and dream home. You can usually access the property in the winter without any drama.
Improvements
There is a 1972 double wide trailer on blocks located on the property that can be restored, but it was never plumbed and has never been hooked up to electricity. It was used as a dry cabin, but hasn't been used in years. So, the new owner gets to decide whether they want to remove it, or restore it. There are 2 newer tiny homes no plumbing that will convey at closing. These tiny homes are attached to trailers and can be moved. Located near the entrance to the property is a 40'x60 pole barn with dirt floors. There is a 7 GPM domestic well pump installed with 3 spigots plumbed in. One spigot is located near the future home site on a hill with panoramic views. A driveway has already been excavated to this homesite. At this time the only way to power the domestic well is with a generator. The home stie on the property would be an ideal location for a solar panel array with its great southern exposure.
Recreation
Located near Waugh Mountain and Stoney Face Mountain. This property is the ideal hunting camp. It is located in an area that has a very healthy elk herd. Elk frequent this property year round. Both wild turkey and black bear are common visitors here. Bordering thousands of acres of contiguous public lands makes this property a hunter's dream. GMU 58 is known for producing some very nice bulls and bucks. You shouldn't have to venture very far to harvest a good bull or buck here.
History
The Black Mountain and Waugh Mountain area has a storied ranching history. One of those story's is the story of Old Mose the Grizzly Bear who lived on the slopes of Black Mountain in the late 1800S and early 1900S. If you search Old Mose the grizzly bear you can find numerous articles written about that bear. An incredible tale of man versus bear.
