495 Hwy 285

660 +/- acres in Saguache & Chaffee County. This entire property is classic Colorado. From the 360 degree views of the San Juan and Sangre De Cristo mountain ranges, to the quaking Aspen groves lining the drainages, to the log cabin perched on the hill, this is everything you could ask for. All of this ground has been preserved in a Conservation Easement. The restrictions of the easement will allow for another 5 acre build site with plenty of privacy, elbow room, and views. Water rights from five natural springs are being sold with this property. Two of the springs are located in the National Forest but have been impressively secured through water court. The springs create pocket ponds around the property that are perfect for grazing livestock or for the local game and wildlife that hang out year round. This property is eligible for two Land Owner Preference permits for private hunting. One for GMU 82 and the other for GMU 86. BLM abuts the property to the south and National Forest access is adjacent to the north. It is a unique opportunity to create a homestead that feels a million miles away while it's only about 20 minutes from Salida, Colorado. Epic skiing and Gold Medal fishing are close by and nothing beats the wide open skies full of stars. There is a cabin on the property that is ready for full time occupancy or as a seasonal base camp. It is a quiet retreat, with very few neighbors, in a sought after part of Southern Colorado. If you would like more information, please give us a call to schedule a tour!
