Sweet VIEWS of the surrounding Greenhorn Mountain Range and Majestic PIKES PEAK from almost every parcel! Useable land with very little steep terrain but lots of character await the few blessed property owners who choose to call this home. The history of this cattle ranch, just a few miles East of Wetmore, included an area called “Mudd Springs” where for years the Buffalo grazed untouched by civilization. Only 28 parcels comprise the ranch, of which 10 have sold. All are 35 acres in size, and range in price from $84,900-$149,900, with protective covenants in place to insure no mobiles or junk will be seen. WHAT A STEAL for land within 20 minutes of Pueblo and 8 minutes from Wetmore and the San Isabel National Forest. STAKE your CLAIM before they're all GONE! | ||||||||||||||||||

| Wetmore is a beautiful little town on the edge of the Wet Mountains. Frontier Pathways Scenic Byway comes west out of Pueblo along State Highway 96 and goes right through town and on up into the Wet Mountains. That creek flowing through town is Hardscrabble Creek, most famous as the site of a failed community back in the 1840's. That's how Hardscrabble got its' name: according the George Simpson, this was because of the "hard scrabbling to get in a crop" in the gravelly soil. In 1846, a dry year had most of Hardscrabble's residents packing. When John C. Fremont came through in 1848 he found the settlement at Hardscrabble almost completely deserted (this was only 4 years after the settlement was started). But looking at the natural beauty of Wetmore, you can see why they tried. It has some of the finest grass in Colorado and Wetmore has become somewhat of an equestrian paradise because of it. | ||||||||||||||||||
