Description
72 pristine acres of sweeping views including Chimney Rock and Peterson Ridge set the stage for this exceptional property bordering San Juan National Forest. Offering incredible privacy and direct access to world-class recreation in the Weminuche Wilderness. No covenants or restrictions and this property is easily accessed with a private driveway right off Highway 160. Over $200,000 has been invested in road construction and professional forest health treatment for fire mitigation, leaving the hard work done and multiple building sites ready to develop. Drive up the newly added road to the top of the hill and a picturesque building site with sweeping views of Chimney Rock, Peterson Ridge, the Piedra River and lakes in the valley. A well and cistern are in place. Take in the view and the fresh mountain air from the artist designed and professionally engineered swing. Enjoy wildlife sightings of elk, deer, bears, turkeys, and mountain lions. This property is located in Wildlife GMU #77 for hunting enthusiasts. Preliminary drawings and architectural concepts of a 3200 sq.ft. home are available. Conveniently located in between Bayfield and Pagosa Springs, this is the perfect location to design your Colorado mountain retreat.
