Escape to southeastern Colorado with this 40± acre recreational property in eastern Las Animas County. Just over one mile from Highway 350, the gently sloping parcel features native grasses, scattered juniper trees, and a natural wash. Existing off-grid improvements include a framed shipping container with a wood-burning stove and a separate shed outfitted with a small kitchen area, livestock tank bathing setup, wood-burning stove, and two loft sleeping areas. The property currently has no utilities, though power is available within a few hundred yards on a neighboring parcel. Located near Comanche National Grassland and within Colorado Parks and Wildlife GMU 135, this property offers excellent access to hunting, camping, hiking, and other outdoor recreation. Trinidad is approximately 37 miles southwest, and La Junta is approximately 44 miles northeast, making this an ideal weekend getaway or future homesite.

35.01 Acres off grid but near electric at the county road. 1 lot Off county road 51 and near county road 92. Great views, dark skies and room to spread out. Great hunting for antelope and good hunting for Mule Deer. Prairie elk are rarer to see but certainly around. You can either build or camp up high for views or down in the arroyo for additional privacy and weather break.
