Fremont County
Fremont County, Colorado – The Heart of Southern Colorado Living
Fremont County spans a diverse and expansive stretch of Southern Colorado, offering a rare blend of affordability, freedom, and untapped opportunity. From the Arkansas River corridor and high desert plains to pine-covered foothills and rugged mountain terrain, this county has become a go-to destination for land buyers, outdoor enthusiasts, and anyone seeking a lifestyle rooted in independence and natural beauty.
Anchored by the city of Cañon City, Fremont County is home to a range of communities—each with its own character. Cotopaxi and Texas Creek appeal to off-grid adventurers and homesteaders. Florence offers small-town charm with a growing arts scene. Penrose and Howard attract those who want elbow room without giving up access to services. And in every direction, wide-open land, low taxes, and fewer restrictions mean more possibilities for those ready to build or invest.
The Arkansas River flows through the county, providing gold medal fishing, world-class rafting, and unmatched recreational access. Thousands of acres of BLM land invite hiking, hunting, and ATV adventures right from your doorstep. And with minimal HOA oversight in most areas, you’ll find the freedom to create the lifestyle you’ve been looking for—whether that’s a remote cabin, full-time ranch, or recreational retreat.
Fremont County is growing, but it’s still grounded in the values that make Colorado great: self-reliance, community, and connection to the land. If you’re looking for space to breathe, build, and live on your own terms, this is the place to start.
