Ranch Description
This land is level and ready to build. This is a great opportunity to farm or ranch and is ready to be developed. There is an option for multiple wells and anyone looking for a self-sustaining homestead should be excited about this piece of Colorful Colorado. It is peaceful, quiet, and secluded. You have your privacy and freedom being surrounded by mountains but have major cities a half a days drive away, its the perfect compromise. This is 4 combined parcels, 80 on the South end and 3 40 acre parcels to the North. You can sell the others off if you don't need all 200.
Colorado is known for sunshine. This area rarely falls below the teens or rises above 84 degrees. You will have moderate summers and cold winters but the sun shines 350 days a year. Solar power. The snow does fall but in frequent, light snowfalls with less than 40 inches. The perfect getaway from the southern heat or northern freeze. The elevation is a comfortable 7,544 feet in the valley. This location is ideal for anyone wanting to start their off-grid living.
200 acres of valley land across a simple gravel road from the Rio Grande Del Norte National Monument. The monument is over 300,000 acres of land protected by the Bureau of Land Management and encompasses some of the most remarkable lands in the country. The gorge boarders one side, there the Rio Grande River follows the earthquake rift 800 feet below. Walk across the Rio Grande Gorge Bridge in Taos, NM, just an hour south of your property, and see the river from above. The gem of the Monument is the Ute Mountain, jutting 3,000 feet above the plains at 10,093 ft. As you can see from the pictures, this land sits at the base of the Ute Mountain with its wildlife and vegetation in full and unobstructed view. With BLM land, you can be assured no one will build between you and the mountain and there will be uncorrupt nature to enjoy. The Ute sits to the south but all of the Sangre De Cristo ranges are to the east with the impressive 14er Mt. Blanca, Little Bear, and Lindsey with their iconic snow capped peaks. This piece of Colorado is surrounded by ranges, some far, some near with a wide open valley for the elk, deer, antelope, wild horses, and coyotes to roam.
There are many recreational opportunities in the area. Taos, NM offers Taos Ski Valley for exceptional snow skiing, white water rafting, and historic tours. An hour north of your property is the Great Sand Dunes National Park where you can snow board or sled down the tallest dunes in North America. The park is also registered as a Dark Sky Park. If you google best star gazing Colorado, this park outside of Alamosa, Co is top of the list. The unpolluted skies make it feel like you are among the stars.
