27 Ghost Mine Rnch, Del Norte, CO 81132

Some properties simply give you land. Others give you possibilities. Lot 27 in Ghost Mine Ranch offers 86.6 acres tucked into its own private mountain valley where rolling hills, rocky outcroppings, mature piñon and juniper trees, and wide-open skies create a setting that feels peaceful from the moment you arrive. Several of the biggest expenses of building in Colorado have already been covered. This property features a strong 10-gallon-per-minute domestic well complete with an electric pump and frost-free hydrant already installed. Electricity is available at the lot line, making this property well on its way toward your future mountain home. In addition, the soils testing and septic engineering are already complete, so you can begin construction sooner and with greater confidence! Unlike many vacant land parcels that offer only one obvious building site, this property offers options. Build down low among the trees with easy access, or choose one of the higher elevations where the views stretch for miles across the surrounding mountains and valleys. Whether your dream is a full-time residence, a seasonal cabin, or simply a place to escape for weekends, you'll find plenty of room to make it your own. Several thoughtful improvements are already in place. A steel fire pit with a cooking grate is ready for evenings under Colorado's incredible dark skies, and culverts have already been brought onto the property to help simplify future driveway construction. The landscape itself is one of the property's greatest features. Gentle hills draw breezes through the acreage, while rugged hillsides provide privacy, wildlife habitat, and endless opportunities to explore your own land. Mule deer, elk, wild turkey, and countless other wildlife are frequent visitors to the area. Ghost Mine Ranch has become one of the San Luis Valley's hidden gems. Residents enjoy county-maintained gravel roads that provide year-round access, a welcoming community of neighbors who appreciate the quiet mountain lifestyle, and an HOA with very reasonable covenants focused primarily on maintaining the roads. Owners even have the option of participating in the neighborhood trash cooperative, saving trips to the county landfill. Located just minutes from Del Norte, you'll enjoy convenient access to groceries, restaurants, schools, medical care, and some of Colorado's best outdoor recreation. Wolf Creek Ski Area, the Rio Grande National Forest, thousands of acres of public land, world-class hunting and fishing, mountain biking, ATV trails, hiking, and the famous rock climbing at Penitente Canyon are all within easy reach. Finding a large acreage parcel with a productive domestic well, electricity nearby, year-round county road access, and multiple beautiful building sites is becoming increasingly rare. If you've been waiting for the right piece of Colorado to build your future, this property deserves a closer look.
