A sloped wooded acre in the Colorado Rockies, this lot in Cripple Creek Mountain Estates sits on a hillside ringed by mature ponderosa pines and quaking aspens, with open views of the surrounding mountain ridges and snow-capped peaks. The mix of grassy open slopes, dense pine canopy, and granite boulder outcrops gives the parcel a wild, private character — and at under 8 miles from historic Cripple Creek, it’s not remote.
Take a look at the photos below — the terrain, the tree cover, and the mountain scenery speak for themselves. Want to see more photos and video? Please call or text Kristy Limon at (720) 336-1232 with any questions.

Detailed Info About this Parcel
Terrain and build potential: The lot carries a steep slope — typical of this Teller County neighborhood — with a mix of open grassy areas and sections of mature pines and aspens. Granite boulders appear throughout, adding natural character to the hillside. Manufactured and modular homes are both permitted under CCME covenants, subject to Architectural Control Committee (ACC) approval. Both must be new from a manufacturer or dealer, placed on a permanent foundation, and meet CCME design requirements. Minimum finished living space is 1,200 square feet above ground. ACC approval and a Teller County building permit are required before construction begins.
Utilities and access: City water service is provided through Mountain Mutual Water Company (MMWC), the community water system for Cripple Creek Mountain Estates. Connection to MMWC is required under the covenants, which also specify a minimum 900-gallon on-site water storage tank. Electricity is in the area — the nearest electric pole is approximately 500 feet south of the parcel; establishing service would require filing a new service request with Black Hills Energy to confirm connection feasibility and cost. Septic is not currently installed. A percolation test is required by the CCME ACC as part of the construction approval process before a septic system can be designed or permitted. The lot is accessed via Buckhorn Road, a maintained dirt road.
The setting: Cripple Creek Mountain Estates is a residential mountain community in Teller County, situated in the high country west of Colorado Springs. The hillside location provides open exposure toward the surrounding ridges, with mountain views visible from the property. Cripple Creek, with its gold-rush heritage and year-round activity, is under 8 miles away. Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument and Mueller State Park are both within roughly 30 minutes.
