Description:
This lot was burned during the Spring 2018 fire. However, the trees and shrubs are starting to come back and as they grow, so will your investment. Now is literally the best time to get in and watch the surrounding forest take off again.
This is a great mountain lot in one of the most desirable subdivisions of southern Colorado, Forbes Park. This area is full of deer and elk, and other wildlife.
You are only a few miles away from the Pike-San Isabel National Forest. Also, you are only about 30 minutes away from Fort Garland.
This would make a great spot for a weekend getaway cabin. This is a beautiful mountain area and is what a typical “Rocky Mountain” view is like. You can see the Sangre de Cristo mountains here, including Blanca peak. This IS mountain living!
