Overview

This for-sale recreation and residential land offering comprises 71.67 acres of sweeping mountain views, positioned along San Juan National Forest. The property includes direct access via a private driveway off Highway 160 and multiple potential building sites, with significant groundwork already completed. According to the remarks, more than $200,000 has been invested in road construction and professional forest health treatment for fire mitigation, and an existing well and cistern are in place.

The setting is designed for seclusion and outdoor use, with views that include Chimney Rock and Peterson Ridge. The property also references location within Wildlife GMU #77, and it has established access up to a developed road segment leading to an identified upper building site with valley views toward the Piedra River and lakes.

For buyers looking to develop a mountain retreat, this site offers a head start through completed access improvements and documented forest mitigation work, along with preliminary drawings and architectural concepts for a 3,200-square-foot home. The seller also states there are no covenants or restrictions, providing flexibility for a future build while retaining a private, recreation-focused environment.
