We are right next door to the Pineries Open Space which is a 9 mile trail that you can hike, bike, or horse ride on. It also connects (by crossing a road) to Section 16 which is another 4 mile trail. You can bring your own horses and for a $50 fee we will set up corral panels for your horses to stay. We have farm animals that will be wondering about the land at times. We have water up at our home that you can use to fill up your campers with water or any water containers you need to fill. The park, that you would have a gate to walk through that connects to our property, has a vault toilet. At certain times we offer farm experiences at additional charges. There is a small corner store a couple of miles away, a local feed store where you can buy hay for tour horses, a little local coffee shop and small cafe as well. Come enjoy the country life just minutes from town! Because we also use our land to graze our animals, we ask that only one vehicle be parked at the site at a time. We have a place for parking additional vehicles if you have more than 1 vehicle.

We began this venture in 2012 by purchasing 35 acres overlooking a 7000 acre homestead that was sold to a developer who is selling acreage from 35 - 500 acre parcels. We are located on the beautiful eastern plains of Colorado southeast of Denver. Rolling hills dotted with Ponderosa pines that encourage wildlife to settle in. Pikes Peak, Longs Peak and Mount Evans are all visible on clear days. We have 35 acres and raised alpaca’s until recently, chickens, cats and dogs as well as a large garden. We are totally off grid and enjoy life in the home my husband built using trees he cut down and milled on his sawmill. We lived on the property in a 400sq ft cottage while building the house. We have numerous camping spots available in a small grove of Ponderosa Pines or on the plains if you want a clear view of the stars at night! A rustic outhouse is available close by as is a water hydrant. Parking is available close by. We added the Bijou Tree House to our options a couple years ago! It is a one room cabin (sleeps 2on a queen size built in bed) with an incredible picture window that frames Pikes Peak beautifully. It is nestle among some old Ponderosa Pines; sports a cute but tiny wood burning stove; bar table in front of the window; deck with seating and a propane camp chef 2 burner stove. A hammock is available for use and private outhouse just a few feet away. We love sharing our story, our home and the beautiful place God has gifted us with people from all over the world and hope to host you as well. Come Camp and relax. Watch and listen to the birds; the deer and antelope really do play here. Just this morning two little fawns were chasing each other through the gully. We are blessed with beautiful sunrises and sunsets; stars at night and an added bonus is our Farm Store where we showcase products made from our alpaca's, and trees my husband has cut down... !

In the 1990's a ranchland section (640 Acres) was divided into 60+ acre small prairie farm properties.. Purchasing this pristine, untouched land in early 2000, we built our farm style home in 2004. Living where there are more hawks and pronghorn than people, this quiet prairie setting is a delightful home. WyndyRidge is aptly named for the almost constant breeze. For traveling estimates, our property is 1 hour from Parker, CO; 1 hour from Castle Rock, CO; 1 hour from Bennet, CO; 1 1/2 hour from many destinations in Colorado Springs, CO.

We’re so excited to welcome you to our 80-acre piece of country paradise right near Calhan, Colorado-in the heart of a working wind farm! Tucked among mature trees for privacy and shelter from the Colorado breeze, our campsites offer quiet relaxation with beautiful views of rolling hillsides, abundant wildlife, and the impressive wind turbines that dot the landscape. Many guests love being so close to the towers — their gentle, rhythmic whooshing sound is often described as mesmerizing, creating a unique and peaceful backdrop to your stay. . All sites are nestled in the trees, giving you a true sense of seclusion while remaining close to adventure. We’re conveniently located just 2.5 miles from the stunning Paint Mines Interpretive Park and Trails (with its colorful geological formations and hiking paths) and 4 miles from the El Paso County Fairgrounds, which hosts exciting events all summer long. The charming town of Calhan is only 4 miles north, where you’ll find a grocery store, restaurants, gas stations, and a dollar store for all your essentials. Bring your bikes and explore the Paint Mines or wander our own trails (dirtbike track) right on the property. We have some of the best-tasting well water around — feel free to fill up your jugs at the hydrant near the southeast corner of the garden. Come experience our dream as it unfolds and soak in the serenity. We can’t wait to share this peaceful slice of Colorado with you! A few important notes: Dogs are welcome, but they must be well-trained, friendly, and respectful of other animals. They’re free to roam, but chasing calves or causing trouble with livestock will not be tolerated. We have our own dogs and will do our best to keep them secured with advance notice of your estimated arrival time. No bathroom facilities are available. Campfires are not permitted unless explicitly approved by us. Upon arrival, we’ll happily check you in and show you to your campsite. We’ll be available if you need anything, but we won’t disturb your peace otherwise. We hope to see you soon! Feel free to follow the progress of our property (and all the fun chaos of this big transition) on Facebook at @jamiejohnson and Instagram @jamiejohnson080808 Jamie & Jeremiah J.
