Description

This property spans 160 acres of fully fenced and meticulously maintained land that has been seeded with a variety of grasses such as buffalo grass. It features 2 permitted domestic wells, including rights to underground water for irrigation with a seasonal pond. The land offers the potential for subdivision into four parcels, allowing for individual sales or the option to keep portions as desired. With the appropriate permits and county approval, you can build three residential structures for every 40 acres. This is a fantastic opportunity to establish a family compound or generate income by selling off parcels, allowing others to enjoy the breathtaking beauty of the Sangre De Cristo Mountains while raising and growing your own food. If you're looking for acreage to build your homestead, look no further. The existing 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom home can serve as a cozy guest house or mother-in-law suite, or you can finish it as you want creating your very own farmhouse with wrap around deck and outstanding views. There is a well built 24x44 shop with 2 overhead doors allowing for 4 vehicles. Additionally, the property is equipped with solar panels and 18,000 watt hours of battery storage, allowing for off grid living while still providing the convenience of electricity at the property line should you choose to connect to the grid. Located just minutes away from essential amenities for groceries and gas, it's also a short drive to the town of Salida, where you can enjoy dining, festivals, skiing, white water rafting, fishing, hiking, and so much more. Are you a hunter? Transform this property into a hunting camp with a short drive to unit 681 you have almost 60,000 acres of BLM land. Do you dream of having a guest retreat? The possibilities are endless-bring your vision an create the dream you've always wanted!
