Forbes Park, Colorado is a private mountain community located in southern Costilla County, offering expansive views, fresh alpine air, and true Colorado seclusion. Nestled among rolling hills, pine forests, and open meadows, the area is known for its quiet atmosphere, abundant wildlife, and dark night skies. Forbes Park provides maintained roads, a community center, and gated access, making it ideal for a recreational getaway, off-grid living, or a future mountain cabin. With nearby access to hiking, hunting, and outdoor adventure, this high-country setting is perfect for those seeking privacy, nature, and wide-open space.
Tall pines and aspens are spread throughout the property, shaped by past wildfire activity that opened the forest floor and improved visibility between the trees. Native grass and low vegetation cover the ground, giving kids room to explore and leaving plenty of space for a campsite, fire pit, or outdoor gathering area.
Road along the property is a maintained dirt road commonly used by residents.
About HOA: Forbes Park is known for its larger parcels and low-density living. Neighbors are nearby but not on top of each other, giving families space to breathe while still being part of an established landowner community. Many nearby properties are used for seasonal stays, family cabins, or long-term plans, which keeps the area quiet and respectful.
