Opportunity awaits on this vacant lot, which is zoned for residential use. It is ideally situated between the famous Manitou Incline and the heart of downtown Manitou Springs, Colorado. With a limited availability of land for sale in Manitou, this lot is truly a gem. This lot can be connected to Manitou Springs Water and Utilities, making it a great location for a single family home, or investment property. At the base of this sloping mountain lot, you can enjoy the soothing sounds of Ruxton Creek. Historically, Ruxton Creek was a landmark and route for Native Americans and early 19th-century explorers, including Frederick Ruxton. Ruxton Avenue leads to the Cog Railway Station, the Barr Trail / Manitou Incline Trailhead, and the heart of Downtown Manitou. The lot is suitable for overflow parking, a garage, and a spacious home or rental property. It is just 15 minutes from downtown Colorado Springs and 10 minutes from Old Colorado City. The locals take great pride in their community, which boasts a strong sense of connection. Additionally, the Manitou School District schools consistently rank among the top in the Colorado Springs region. Get Familiar with the Incline and Barr Trail: The Manitou Incline and Barr Trail are two of the most fabulous hikes in Manitou Springs and its surrounding metro areas, thanks to their challenging elevation gains and all the friends you will make along the trail. Barr Trail spans over 12 miles and leads to the summit of Pikes Peak, which stands at 14,116 feet. However, it is significantly longer, and Barr Trail shares a similar difficulty level with the Manitou Incline. The Incline is a much shorter hike, but it attracts hikers from all over Colorado and beyond due to its steep 68% grade and an elevation gain of 2,000 feet in less than a mile. Here are some additional attractions just steps from your new location: Miramont Castle Penny Arcade Cave of the Winds Garden of the Gods

That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
