Public Remarks: Easy access from Hwy 160 to this 5 acre property, just outside of Fort Garland. Level parcel with permitted driveway for access off road, ready for you to camp, or build on. The views offered from this property are nothing short of spectacular. The area is a great getaway from the city that offers beautiful sunrise/sunsets, big night skies, and plenty of places to visit during the day. (The Great Sand Dunes, Zapata Falls, Taos NM, etc.) You will not want to leave. Year round property.
As the MLS and public records start to fill up, we'll list the details here.
