Property Description
40 acres bordering BLM land with a domestic well, full septic system, electricity, and now TWO RV hookups already in place. This property is set up and ready to enjoy immediately, whether you're planning to build a full-time home, bring your RV, or create the Colorado basecamp you've been dreaming about. The existing septic system was designed for a 4-bedroom home, and the domestic well allows for up to three single-family residences, irrigation of up to one acre of lawn or garden, and watering domestic livestock. Wide-open San Luis Valley skies stretch in every direction, framed by rugged mountain ranges with snowcapped peaks rising in the distance. Sunrises and sunsets out here are spectacular, and at night, the stars take over completely. With very few neighbors and thousands of acres of surrounding open land, this property feels quiet, remote, and unmistakably Colorado. There are no covenants and no HOA here. Tiny homes, modular homes, manufactured homes, cabins, barndominiums, and custom mountain retreats are all allowed, subject only to Rio Grande County building requirements. Horses, goats, chickens, and other livestock are welcome too! The setting is what truly makes this property special. The parcel borders 80 acres of BLM land to the west, with additional public land just 1/4 mile to the north. Step out your door and explore thousands of acres of public land for hiking, hunting, ATV riding, and outdoor recreation. Forest Service road access is nearby, allowing you to ride directly from the property without loading up a trailer. Hundreds of miles of trails stretch throughout the surrounding mountains. Wildlife is part of everyday life here. Deer and pronghorn/antelope are frequent visitors, and the wide-open landscape gives this property a true sense of freedom and space. Despite the mountain setting, the climate is surprisingly mild, yet only about 40 minutes from Wolf Creek Ski Area, known for receiving the most snow in Colorado year after year. Additional improvements include a storage shed, livestock pen, good cell service with solid 4G coverage, and extremely low property taxes. Properties with this level of infrastructure already in place — especially bordering public land — are becoming harder and harder to find.
