Description

What a picture this is! A sparkling blue alpine lake with the snow capped Rocky mountains in the distance. This 5.4 acres sits high enough that you can see both mountain marvels out of a single cabin window. Mountain Home Reservoir is just down the road for boating, swimming, paddling, and fishing. The land on the backside of your lot is part of Colorado Parks and Wildlife and is 1,061 acres of playground. You will have direct access to the lake from your property.  You can hop on your utv and be to the beach within minutes. The wildlife will roam this area with the available water and tree cover. 

Power is available to this property! Most people will use solar power in the mountains but you will have the privilege of a power pole right next to your land. We all love the idea of being off-grid but it comes with a lot of challenges and extra effort. This allows you the best of both options, you can live like a mountain dweller with modern conveniences. Do you think working remotely with these office views will make you more productive?

 With 5 acres, you are secluded enough to have all the privacy needed. The few neighbors around have well maintained homes. There are groomed roads to get to the property with year round access. This is a great parcel for full time living and a mountain cabin. The elevation is a comfortable 8,354 ft. You are off the valley floor and have a variety of trees and brush. You have the luxury of tall mature trees for shade and protection from the elements. The sun shines nearly 300 days a year so the tall trees are much sought after.

Fort Garland is a quaint town along Hwy 160 and less than 15 minutes from your new hideaway. There is gas, groceries, Dollar General, great local cafes, liquor stores, and a dispensary. All of your immediate necessities are minutes away. Alamosa is another 30 minutes west and has the big box stores such as WalMart, ACE Hardware, and Big R. There are chain restaurants, hotels, schools, medical facilities, and entertainment. I don’t miss the local farmers markets, roadside stands, and town events. 

The San Luis Valley is home to geological phenomena that must be seen to be believed. The Great Sand Dunes have the tallest dunes in North America and are minutes from Hwy 160. Sled down the sand or stargaze the night sky in dunes that will transport you to another planet!. Zapata Falls is a waterfall in the middle of the alpine desert. A short hike up to the falls will leave you in awe of this out-of-place wonder. The water freezes in the winter to form the most magnificent ice sculptures. The Rockies are, of course, the best attraction of all. The two fourteeners, Mt. Blanca and Mt. Lindsey tower above. If you are a hiker or climber, these are two great challenges.  

$30,000 will make this lake/mountain home yours! You can opt for owner financing with $10,000 down and $425 for 60 months. No credit check required.
