Description

This exceptional 35.58-acre property in the Rito Hondo development near Antonito, Colorado, presents a unique opportunity to own a piece of the breathtaking Colorado landscape. Located on Lot 18 of Rito Hondo Road, this parcel boasts rolling hills and expansive views, offering numerous ideal building sites. The property borders National Forest to the east, providing a tranquil and secluded setting. Existing features include pinon trees, native grasses, and readily available electricity at the lot line. The HOA fee is $500 annually. While a well is not currently installed, a nearby well (Lot 2) provides a reference point with a depth of 400 feet and a yield of 20 gallons per minute (Well Permit # 318075). The sellers are offering a significant incentive: $3,000 towards the cost of a new well and septic system ($1,500 each). Conejos County does not require individual septic system engineering, but a soil test from a licensed contractor is necessary. The Rito Hondo development is approximately 10 miles west of Antonito, easily accessible via Highway 17 (paved for 8 miles, well-maintained gravel for the last 2 miles). Antonito is a 15-minute drive, while Alamosa (with a new hospital and life-flight services) is 45 minutes away. Taos, NM, is 1 hour 15 minutes, and Santa Fe, NM, is 2 hours away. The development is fully fenced and features large ornamental gates at both entrances. Underground electricity is available at each lot line. The average elevation is 8,700 feet. Abundant wildlife, including elk and deer, is common in the area. Detailed covenants are available upon request. Virtual tours and drone videos are also available for viewing. This is an unparalleled opportunity to build your dream home in a stunning, secluded mountain setting.
