Property Description
40+ Acre Off Grid Hunters Paradise and Wildlife Oasis! Amazing dark sky stargazing. Easy access, this 3+2 home is situated on a large open bluff within the forest, at the end of a short road alongside rock outcroppings for privacy. 360 degree views and surrounded by nearly 200,000 acres of the largest private ranches in all of Colorado, amongst the immediate backdrop of numerous 14'ers. Forbes Wagon Creek Ranch Estates has a solid HOA and is professionally managed. Fiber Optic available. The Ranch is situated on its own 17,000 acres, with hunting allowed on approximately 9,000 acres of varied terrain, including over 80 miles of roads and trails. New deep Water Well with high-capacity pump feeding an underground 1800-gallon Cistern. Power is supplied by Tracking Solar along with new, large capacity batteries for stored energy. A Kohler propane backup generator can kick in if needed. The 1.5-story log-sided home has southern exposure and an open loft with many large windows to bring in natural light. Functional kitchen with pantry, storage and propane gas stove. Rinnai tankless hot water heater with washer and dryer are located inside the mud room entry. High vault tongue and groove wood beam ceilings support the open floor plan. French doors open to the deck on the rear of the home. The huge wood-burning fireplace is the focal point of the living area, all rock that was sourced directly from the property. The large, wraparound deck with gas line for BBQ's accommodate wildlife viewing from all sides of the home. A 24x24 detached heated garage/workshop is a couple of steps away. Low maintenance tile and wood laminate flooring. Metal roof with skylights, concrete foundation walls, and crawlspace provide a secure structure. Fort Garland and La Veta are 15-20 minutes down the road. Properties like this are becoming much more difficult to find. Random Mountain Ranch delivers, book a showing today.
