A storage shed, fenced yard area, and additional outdoor space make it easy to store equipment, accommodate pets, or simply enjoy the surrounding landscape.
The land itself is equally impressive. Unlike many nearby parcels, this property features heavier tree cover combined with rolling terrain, draws, rock outcroppings, and significant elevation changes that create privacy, character, and excellent wildlife habitat.

The surrounding region is well known for its outstanding hunting and recreational opportunities, making this property an excellent basecamp for outdoor enthusiasts.
For those seeking adventure beyond the property boundaries, the location provides convenient access to many of southern Colorado's most popular destinations. Spend the day exploring Trinidad Lake State Park, hiking or mountain biking at Fishers Peak State Park, enjoying the shops and restaurants of historic downtown Trinidad, or venturing into the nearby San Isabel National Forest for endless miles of public land recreation. The area also offers excellent opportunities for fishing, boating, ATV riding, horseback riding, and scenic drives throughout the Sangre de Cristo Mountains.
Whether you're searching for a private recreational retreat, hunting property, weekend escape, vacation rental opportunity, or a unique mountain residence, this property delivers incredible value. Finding 40 acres with this level of infrastructure, privacy, mountain views, and quality improvements at this price point is becoming increasingly difficult in southern Colorado.
