Right in the Heart of Chaffee County Recreation areas! Year round Poncha Creek is in your front yard though the property does not border it. Walk off your property onto National Forest and to The Rainbow Trail single track which runs through public land for approximately 100 miles to just beyond Westcliffe. The old Mears Junction Railroad grade on the property leads right to it. O'Haver Lake and Marshall Pass are just down County Road 200 for great hunting, fishing, snowmobiling, ATV'ing, camping, etc. Monarch ski and snowboard area is just 30 minutes away. Poncha Loop recreation area is just 2 miles away and provides incredible access to thousands of square miles of Forest Service and BLM lands. Chaffee County Recreational zoning allows for camping with some limits. Old railroad grade crosses the property from the historic Mears Junction era from which this area gets it's name. Mears Junction was the point where the Marshall Pass narrow gauge line turned west towards the Continental Divide and the Valley Line continued south towards the summit of Poncha Pass. The junction was constructed in 1881 when both lines were built. The Valley Line was removed from Mears Junction in 1951, and the Marshall Pass line was abandoned in 1953 and physically removed in 1955.

Escape to true wilderness on this exceptional 30.99-acre off-grid hunting and recreation property, surrounded by tens of thousands of acres of public land, including National Forest, BLM, and State Trust Land. Located in Colorado Hunting Unit 57, this secluded mountain property offers outstanding opportunities for big game hunting and wildlife viewing, with deer, elk, bear, mountain lion, and turkey frequently found throughout the area. Perched high above the surrounding landscape, the property boasts breathtaking 360-degree panoramic views of the Sawatch and Sangre de Cristo Mountain ranges. The combination of privacy, expansive vistas, and direct access to vast public lands creates an unparalleled backcountry experience. Access is via an unmaintained two-track trail that winds approximately four miles from the Forest Service gate through stunning alpine terrain. Due to the rugged nature of the route, access is best suited for hiking or by horseback. Appropriate permits will be required by the governing agencies for motorized access. The terrain and trail conditions do not allow for trailer access, and seasonal weather conditions further limit accessibility. This is not a property for those seeking convenience, it is a property for those seeking adventure, solitude, and a genuine connection to the outdoors. If you've been searching for a remote mountain getaway, hunting basecamp, or private retreat surrounded by some of Colorado's most spectacular public lands, this rare offering deserves your attention.
