Westcliffe
Welcome to Westcliffe, Colorado – A Mountain Town with Big Sky Dreams
Tucked between the majestic Sangre de Cristo Mountains and the rolling Wet Mountains, Westcliffe is a one-of-a-kind mountain town where rugged beauty meets a tight-knit, values-driven community. At 7,888 feet above sea level, this small but vibrant town offers a refreshing escape from city life with wide open spaces, sweeping views, and some of the darkest skies in the country—making it one of only a few designated International Dark Sky Communities in the U.S.
Whether you’re drawn here for the panoramic mountain views, the quiet pace of rural living, or the endless opportunities for recreation, Westcliffe delivers. Residents and visitors enjoy access to hiking, horseback riding, and fishing by day, and world-class stargazing by night. The surrounding valley supports both active ranching and modern homesteading lifestyles, with no shortage of land and freedom to live the way you choose.
The town itself is home to locally owned shops, restaurants, art galleries, and seasonal festivals that bring the community together. Westcliffe and neighboring Silver Cliff combine small-town charm with essential services, a highly-rated school system, and a growing number of remote workers and entrepreneurs who value lifestyle over hustle.
In Westcliffe, you don’t just find property—you find purpose. Whether you’re looking to build a cabin, buy land, or put down roots, this is a place where you can breathe deep, see every star, and live in harmony with the Colorado wilderness.
