Description

Great price for a 37-acre parcel in one of the most beautiful remote areas of Colorado. About 15 minutes drive to Lake Sanchez, and the Wild Horse Mesa community center. This parcel is off grid. The land qualifies for a domestic use well permit from the Colorado Division of Water Resources, but most residents rely on water delivered to a cistern and provided by the community well operated by the Little Norway Water Company. Accessed by a well-maintained county road, but lightly travelled. Winter access best by 4wd though deep snow is not common. This is the place for privacy. Protecting this wild serenity on the east side of the lake is the Lake Sanchez State wildlife area. Wild horses and elk run free on the Mesa! Also mule deer, elk, pronghorn antelope, coyotes, small game, birds, eagles, black bears, mountain lions and bighorn sheep. The Wild Horse Mesa/Melby Ranch community lies at 8,000+ feet elevation and about 25 minutes from the historic and picturesque of San Luis. About 1 hour 15 minutes to Taos for shopping, dining, and cultural events. The Mesa spans about 20 square miles of spectacular vistas, both level and hilly with varied eco-regions including sagebrush and rabbitbrush (chamisa), pinon, juniper, grasses, and wildflowers. The stargazing is world class, and the views of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains are breathtaking. Cell phone service is spotty in the area, internet is satellite.
