Nestled in the scenic Pine Junction area of Colorado, this expansive 244.26-acre property offers a rare opportunity for visionary development. Comprising two legal parcels—13034 S US Hwy 285 and 13253 S Elk Creek Road—the site is ideally positioned at the southwest corner of Hwy 285 and Elk Creek Road, providing exceptional visibility and direct access to a major thoroughfare connecting to Denver and surrounding metro areas.
Zoned P-D (Planned Development), the land is primed for a wide range of uses, including residential, commercial, and quasi-public developments. A fully approved Official Development Plan (ODP) permits the creation of a comprehensive retreat and conference campus, including an 80,000 SF Adult Retreat Center, a 60,000 SF Youth Retreat Center, and a 20,000 SF Chapel. The Site Development Plan (SDP) has already been completed and is transferable to a new owner, streamlining the path to development.
The property’s infrastructure advantages include robust water and well rights—58.91 shares of Mountain Mutual Reservoir Company and rights to 37.9 acre-feet annually—ensuring long-term viability for large-scale development. Additionally, the land includes two existing residences, offering immediate utility or potential for caretaker housing.
Located in FEMA Flood Zone X, the site carries minimal flood risk, further enhancing its development appeal. Whether envisioned as a spiritual retreat, educational campus, or a custom residential enclave, this property offers unmatched flexibility and natural beauty in a high-demand corridor.
