Lot For Sale

, C: , mark, : There are so many people now that are wanting to leave the city life, because of the crime, the traffic, to many people and have the dream of building a mountain home on a year round river, have a nice garden, all their animals, and just peace and quiet and left alone, this property has it all. There are also big beautiful Cottonwood trees and all their spectacular fall colors and provides great shade. Welcome to The Lower Blanco River Ranch with 18 +/- acres on The Lower Blanco River. The property is 3 separate pieces of land with over 1000 feet +/- of river frontage on both sides of the river and backs to 11K acres of Nation Forest, allowing endless outdoor recreation via hunting, fishing, hiking, riding your horses for miles and miles or in your side by side. The land has been partly excavated years ago. The river has been improved by the Army Corp of Engineers and they created some spectacular deep honey holes for fishing and for the water flow habitat. A building site has been identified, and a well permit has been issued and septic approved. The well is a very big deal as Colorado new law will not allow a well to be drilled unless its a min of 35 acres, the property has a grandfathered right to drill your well (hard to find anymore). Also the property has a under-adjudicated, under-appointed to pump water from the river to fill livestock tanks or for watering your own garden, or orchard also extremely rare that you may irriagate from the river itself, that is as rare as you will find and the property is also zoned Agricultural Estate (AE) allowing one animal per acre and low taxes. For the hunter, the property sits in a beautiful valley and the big game animals walk right down that valley to the river to get a drink of clean clear water, there is a lot of elk tracks the day I took the picture there was a 7x7 just laying down and wildlife of all kinds everywhere, including elk, deer, water fowl and beavers. Of course in Colorado you have your OTC elk tags (always check regs). This is just the perfect little ranch that offers a little bit of everything for everyone. When you are on the land it just feels good and calming listing to the river flow and you know right away your in the mountains but only a short 15/20 min drive to Pagosa Springs. This property checks off a lot of the must have boxes for the perfect mountain river front home paradise.
