Land Description
If you are looking for a mountain retreat, this 5.17 acre parcel has the features everyone is asking for.
High Elevation: Your new mountain retreat sits at 9,599 ft getting you off the valley floor and into the southern Rockies.
Tall trees: You will be surrounded by pines and aspen trees protecting your property and providing shade and privacy. The sun shines over 300 days here and with this elevation, you will appreciate the coverage. The wildlife also enjoys the trees and will share your space. Watch for many species of birds, rabbit, squirrel as well as elk, deer, and coyote. They are rare but you hear of large cats such as bobcats and mountain lions along with brown bears in the area.
Well maintained roads: Jaquez and Barbara road are easily navigated. They wide enough to haul campers or trailers up and down and well maintained year round.
Natural clearing for your RV or mountain cabin: This area has a spot of grassland right off the road perfect for building your mountain home. It can be a clearing for your weekend RV parking or your cabin in the woods.
Great location: 30 minutes down the mountain to town, San Luis or Fort Garland provide gas, groceries, hardware stores, and Dollar General. An hour east brings you to Alamosa for small city luxuries such as big box stores, chain restaurants, medical facilities, hotels, and local entertainment. The Sangre de Cristo Ranches are perfectly located 2 hrs from Pueblo, 3 hrs from Colorado Springs, 4 hrs from Denver. If you go south it is 3 hrs to Sante Fe and 4 hrs to Albuquerque. We are secluded in the valley by the mountains in a Colorado haven, protected from the hustle and bustle of the outside world.
Colorado lifestyle: The pace is slower, the lifestyle healthier, the air cleaner, and the views more spectacular. People come here to escape the rat race and find tranquility. For so many, what starts as a weekend or summer retreat turns into a permanent mountain lifestyle.
You can enjoy the cool Colorado summers, the changing of the aspens in the fall, and the snow capped mountains of winter all from your own property.
