Property Description
High-Traffic Recreation Corridor Property with Commercial/Recreation Zoning and CDOT Access Approval for 52 RV Sites Plan
Located on Highway 285 at the top of Poncha Pass, this 49.5-acre commercially zoned property offers high visibility, existing income, and serious development potential. With CDOT-approved access for 52 RV sites and key infrastructure already in place, it is positioned for RV park expansion, adventure tourism, or a multi-use commercial venture.
Currently supporting an off-road rental and tour operation, the property includes a 1,800 square foot finished office with storefront entry, private office, and two restrooms. A 3,600 square foot heated steel-frame shop features a concrete slab, tall bay doors, car lift, power, and a mezzanine for storage or expansion. The 1,800 square foot residence includes 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, vaulted ceilings, granite counters, and an open-concept layout. Utilities, a private well, and a septic system are already in place. The business may be negotiable with the right offer and currently operates snowmobile trips out of Cottonwood Pass and Marshall Pass, and ATV trips out of Marshall Pass, North Fork, Ute Trail, and Mineral Basin.
Just 9 minutes from Poncha Springs and 17 minutes from downtown Salida, this site sits directly on a heavily trafficked recreation corridor connecting to Monarch Ski Area, O'Haver Lake, the Sand Dunes, multiple hot springs, and trailheads. Ideal for a destination RV park, tourism or recreation business, live/work headquarters, or a hybrid commercial concept with room to grow. County approval is required to activate the RV site plan.

TESTIMONIALS
James
Travis Hightower is an exceptional real estate professional. I worked with him on the sale of my condo, and his professionalism, initiative, and attention to detail were outstanding from beginning to end. Travis took ownership of the entire process. He coordinated the contractors, got the property market-ready quickly, and produced a listing that stood well above the competition. The photography and presentation were first-class. He even took the initiative to meet with the HOA to better understand the property's finances, future plans, and implications for residents. The results spoke for themselves. Despite listing in December, we were under contract within a week and closed in less than a month. We also achieved an excellent price, particularly considering a condo one building over sold for approximately 11% less just a few months later. I was traveling internationally during much of the process, but Travis and his team made everything straightforward. Communication was consistently clear, responsiveness was excellent, and the closing team was equally professional and reasonable in its fees. Real estate is clearly more than a profession to Travis. He lives and breathes it, and that commitment shows in the quality of his work, the people he surrounds himself with, and the results he delivers. Beyond his professionalism, Travis is genuinely warm, personable, and a pleasure to work with. He has a way of making you feel at ease and that you're in good hands. I couldn't be happier with the experience and would recommend Travis without hesitation.
