Boone is a small unincorporated community in eastern Pueblo County, nestled along Highway 50 roughly 10 miles east of Pueblo. The area was first settled in the late 1800s by ranchers and farmers who relied on the Arkansas River for irrigation. Named after frontiersman Daniel Boone's descendants who passed through the region, the community has kept its quiet, agricultural character for well over a century. (Wikipedia)
Boone offers easy access to Lake Pueblo State Park, just a short drive west, where families enjoy fishing, kayaking, and hiking along the reservoir trails. The annual Pueblo Chile Festival and Pueblo County Fair are popular draws. Closer to home, Boone residents appreciate the open skies, stargazing opportunities, and the slower pace that comes with rural living along the Arkansas River corridor.
Properties in Boone range from older ranch-style homes to manufactured housing and newer custom builds on acreage. Many homes use propane heating or electric systems since municipal natural gas lines do not extend this far east. Well water and septic systems are standard, and HVAC equipment here endures more dust and wind exposure than typical city properties.
