REMOTE MOUNTAIN LIVING - ON THE GRID! This property, just slightly SE of the Sanchez Reservoir, has power and water at the lot line! This is a rarity in the area. A driveway was cut in and graveled a long time ago and may need a few sage bushes pulled to make the driveway perfectly useable again. Bordered on two sides by dirt roads, the road to the northeast is barely if ever used. Mountain bluebirds were flitting about when these photos were taken. With it's gentle rolling hill, this property is over-sized for the area at 3.44 acres. The closest larger towns from here are Alamosa, CO and Taos, NM and make this the perfect tucked in base camp for you to explore this southern most area of Colorado. The visible mountains that are shown are the Sangre de Cristos, the southern most sub range of the Rocky Mountains. Bring a camera when you come visit this property and make sure to drop down over the hill and see the wild horses as they come to the reservoir for water.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
