Notes from our Photographer during visit:
“Access to the property is through a private gated gravel road that is well maintained. The land sits near the top of La Veta Pass along State Highway 160. Much of the area was affected by a fire around 2017, so there are many fallen trees throughout the property, though a few living trees still remain. The terrain slopes upward toward the southwest, adding elevation and mountain character to the land.
An electrical transformer is located on the northeast corner of the property, but no water connections were noted. Since the property has road frontage on three sides, creating access points would be relatively simple. There are a few nearby homes to the north, east, and south, while the surrounding area remains mostly rural and undeveloped. Cell phone service is available depending on your carrier.”
