This property is located on what could be the most unique and private lot in the larger Dilley Ranch gated development. The Southwestern style home is ideally placed on a 37.45-acre tract that contains distinctive red rock formations surrounded by pine covered rolling hills, three seasonal flow creeks and native grass meadows. The 3,240-square foot impeccably maintained home is of a ranch-style design with a walk-out basement (fully finished). The floor plan consists of a master bedroom suite with five-piece bathroom on the main level with 3 additional bedrooms and full bathroom on the lower level. The main level features an open design kitchen and living room with "beetle kill" pine ceilings, log beams, hand-built cabinetry and doors, stone hearth and wood burning fireplace, powder room/half bathroom off the main entrance and a laundry room adjoining the kitchen. From the living room or master bedroom, you can access the large deck that provides sweeping mountain views to the south and east. The lower level also contains a sizable open living area that accesses a covered patio and open parking area. Other home features include a low maintenance stucco exterior and metal roof, xeriscape/natural landscaping, attached 3 car garage, large stone patio with outdoor fireplace off-of the kitchen, hot tub, stainless steel appliances, blue granite wood burning cook stove and fixtures and details that complement the architectural style throughout. In addition to the home, there is a 2 stall loafing shed that can be utilized for either livestock stalls or equipment storage, a large chicken coop and garden plot. There is an approximate 1.0-acre fenced area adjacent to the lean-to that can serve as a livestock holding pen or turnout. Water service to the property is provided by a strong producing domestic well. The combination of the lean-to, fenced areas and dedicated water make this a “horse ready” property.

Welcome to the Box Checker Ranch. This 102 deeded acre ranch, with nearly a half mile of the trout bearing 4 Mile Creek spanning through the entire ranch from the north and south borders, is contiguous with thousands of acres of BLM land and offers protection on the west side of its borders by a massive white and red rock ridge that acts as a natural barrier. The ranch has exclusive grazing rights to almost 3,300 BLM acres. The east side of the ranch contains around 60 acres of pasture land that has irrigation rights from the Garden Park Ditch. A plentiful number of trout live and breed within the creek. The ranch’s most lush sub-irrigated grounds are to the west of the 4 Mile creek. Massive cottonwoods and other deciduous trees garnish this area. Elk, deer, turkey, and other wildlife flock to this part of the ranch to feed and rest inside the shady park-like setting. Located in GMU 581, Elk and Turkey tags are over the counter with a combination of archery and rifle hunts. Accessed through the fully paved Gold Belt Scenic Byway, also known as Garden Park Road, the ranch is ideally located in an area that contains some of the most scenic landscapes around. Cañon City is in close proximity to world class attractions such as the Royal Gorge Bridge, the Arkansas River, the Red Canyon Park, and the Pike-San Isabel National Forest. Located approximately 1 hour south of Colorado Springs and 2 hours south of Denver, all of the amenities of the famous Colorado Front Range are within a short distance away. Improvements on the Box Checker Ranch include a pristine 1,568 square foot log cabin. The cabin features a hand peeled log system with high arched ceilings that are spanned with exposed log rafters. The home features 2 bedrooms and a loft that overlooks the kitchen, dining, and living room area. Large windows on the gabled front of the house afford passive solar and views that overlook the pasture and mountainous terrain. The master has a cantilevered deck that towers over the 4 Mile Creek and the western portion of the ranch. Other improvements include an outdoor entertainment area with fruit trees, an irrigated yard, outdoor kitchen, a stand alone bath/shower room, RV pad with electrical hookups, planter boxes for gardening, 2 steel outbuildings containing concrete floors, 2 carports, and a sitting area to relax in front of the stream. A gallery well fills two 2,000 gallon cisterns and feeds the home, outdoor kitchen, separate bathroom/shower house, and water hydrants in different portions of the land. If you are looking for a property that has everything, look no further, this ranch checks all the boxes.
