Home Details for LOT 6617 Forbes

PParcel #70218900 – 5.34 Acres | Sangre de Cristo Ranches | Costilla County, Colorado Rare mountain property located at the intersection of Starkweather Road and the well-maintained Forbes Road in the Sangre de Cristo Ranches subdivision. One of the property's most unique features is a natural spring that emerges on the land and forms a year-round flowing creek. Even during the driest months, the water flow remains impressive, creating a beautiful and highly desirable mountain setting that is rarely found in the area. Located near Glesse Road, the property offers convenient access to what locals call "Top of the World," a scenic overlook known for its panoramic views of the historic villages of the San Luis Valley and the peaks of the Cielo Vista Ranch. The parcel features excellent southern exposure, receives abundant sunlight throughout the day, and offers relatively flat topography with only a gentle slope toward the rear of the property. This makes it more usable and potentially more buildable than many mountain parcels in the region. The property is believed to be zoned Estate Residential (E-R), which generally permits residential and recreational uses, subject to Costilla County regulations and permitting requirements. Enjoy sweeping mountain and valley views, abundant wildlife, dark night skies, and the peaceful atmosphere of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. Located approximately 18 minutes from the historic town of San Luis, the property provides convenient access to services while maintaining exceptional privacy and seclusion. The advertised price includes all title and closing costs, providing a simple, all-inclusive purchase with no hidden fees. Whether you're seeking a weekend retreat, hunting and recreation property, off-grid getaway, or future mountain homesite, this unique parcel offers a rare combination of year-round water, excellent access, usable terrain, and outstanding Southern Colorado scenery.
