Nestled in the heart of Colorado’s stunning Wet Mountain Valley near Westcliffe, Agape Valley is a truly unique offering—spanning over 653 deeded acres of pristine wilderness, protected meadows, and forested hillsides. With its blend of historic charm, functional infrastructure, and conservation-minded land use, this property is ideally suited for outdoor retreats, recreation, ranching, or even a small-scale hospitality venture. Elk bugle in the early fall mornings, wildflowers bloom in the summer, and visitors can unwind beneath the towering canopy of old-growth forest. This is a place where peace, purpose, and possibility intersect.
The property is arranged in a balanced blend of conservation and utility. At the heart of the ranch lies a 40-acre legal parcel with no conservation easement—designed for infrastructure and active use. This central area features the historic 3,000 sq. ft. log home, two guest cabins, a kitchen building, bath house, 19 full-service RV sites, and an additional 10 RV sites with water and power. It’s all situated beneath a shaded old-growth forest canopy with grassy clearings and developed trails—a naturally inviting space for events, retreats, and recreational camping.
The area is serviced by a commercial well feeding a large cistern, supporting multiple uses including sprinkler irrigation and the event area’s water needs. Recent septic system upgrades have been completed to modern standards, ensuring both compliance and operational functionality.
Surrounding this central zone are two large conservation parcels—550 acres and 62 acres, each protected under a Colorado Open Lands easement, maintaining the land’s beauty while preserving development flexibility. The easement includes two reserved building envelopes of approximately 20 acres each (with final home sites to be refined within 5-acre conceptual envelopes). The manager’s home currently sits on the easternmost 62-acre parcel, offering caretaker proximity while maintaining privacy.
Beyond its potential as a retreat venue, Agape Valley is a haven for outdoor recreation. A diverse wetland corridor winds through the center of the ranch, home to salamanders, frogs, and waterfowl. A well-developed trail network weaves through hillsides and forests, ideal for hiking, trail running, or peaceful exploration.
Wildlife flourishes here—elk, mule deer, wild turkey, and other species use the ponds and meadows for water and forage. During early September, the sound of bull elk bugling can echo through the trees. Given the acreage, the property is eligible to apply for Colorado Landowner Tags for mule deer and elk in GMU 84, and past outfitters in the region have found consistent success.
While Agape Valley offers true seclusion, it’s also surprisingly accessible. A county-maintained road leads to the main entrance, and the property is just 20 minutes from downtown Westcliffe, where you’ll find groceries, coffee, and local charm. From the ranch, you’re under two hours to Denver and just 1.5 hours from the Colorado Springs Airport, making it an ideal location for weekend retreats, seasonal stays, or full-time living.
Whether you're looking to establish a wellness or yoga retreat, launch a boutique RV lodge, host events, or manage a wildlife-rich mountain ranch, Agape Valley offers a rare and turnkey opportunity. Its careful layout, protected lands, and multi-use improvements provide flexibility, while its natural setting offers something intangible—a sense of peace, space, and possibility.
