Silverwest Estates @ Butler Airport
1 site · RV5 acres · Silver Cliff, CO
THAT MOUNTAIN VIEW THO...
Use the Butler Airport main entrance (off County Rd 69) and follow the road (Airport Rd) for approximately 1.5 miles. Turn right onto Beech Boulevard and follow road for approximately .5 miles to the intersection of Beech Blvd and W Falcon Cir E. Take a left turn on W Falcon Cir E and follow to the end of the cull de sac. As you approach the end of the cull de sac (facing a distant castle-style home and away from the mountains) the 5 acre plot to your RIGHT is land you can occupy. I always stay on the cull de sac when I camp.
The 5.5-acre lot (#41) sits on the south end of the Butler Airport located off the intersection of Beech Blvd and W Falcon Cir E. The road consists of compacted gravel and dirt, it is maintained (leveled and trimmed) by the HOA but the lot itself remains a little more primitive and unkempt. The taller grass in the area is an ideal feeding/resting spot for heard of Pronghorn deer. Coyotes can also be heard from a distance at night. RV’s and pop-up campers should have no problem driving on the roads or cull de sac at the end of W Falcon Cir, and should even be able to drive around the lot with little to no-problem as it relatively flat. There are dumpsters located along Beech Boulevard to throw away trash.
The views and stargazing are amazing and you will find it difficult for the mountain range to leave your eye, but keep in mind this is an open grass lot with no shade or sun cover so I also recommend bringing equipment for shade/cover. Also, noteworthy, each of the neighbors are a minimum of 5 acres apart from lot #41, one of them is the President of the HOA, the other is a Dorito shaped Airb&b property.
