Fully fenced and gated 40-acre property in Colorado's San Luis Valley, positioned adjacent to the Baca National Wildlife Refuge. Open acreage provides wide Sangre de Cristo Mountain and valley views with frequent wildlife movement across the surrounding refuge landscape.
The 3-bedroom, 2-bath residence (1,381 SF) features durable 2x6 insulated construction designed for Colorado's seasonal climate. Large windows bring natural light into the living areas while framing mountain and valley views. A pellet stove anchors the main living space during cooler months. Recent updates include new flooring in the kitchen, entry, and living areas. Roof replaced approximately six years ago.
Property infrastructure supports a variety of rural uses. Electrical service has been upgraded to approximately 400 amps with new utility poles and power extended to the residence, an insulated heated 24x26 garage/shop, and a separate bunkhouse with approximately 80-amp service. A water line has been installed to the bunkhouse for potential future connection.
A private well reaches the aquifer at approximately 300-500 feet and includes a three-stage micro-filtration system. New water lines extend to outbuildings, and approximately five acres may be suitable for irrigation. Cherry and apple trees provide seasonal harvest potential.
Fiber internet service is reported available up to approximately 1 Gb/sec; buyer to verify service, speed, and availability. The acreage allows space for livestock, hobby farming, workshop use, or potential future residential expansion, subject to county requirements and buyer verification.
Nearby destinations include Crestone, Salida, Monarch Mountain Ski Area, regional hot springs, and Great Sand Dunes National Park.
