Escape to your own private slice of Colorado paradise with this unique opportunity, where wide-open skies and unobstructed mountain views create a setting that feels worlds away from it all. Included in this listing: a residence on 40 acres, an additional adjacent vacant 40 acres to the south, and a 0.1-acre lot on Alamosa River, just two short miles away, equipped with a charming unplugged, off-grid, 115 sq ft camping cabin! The residence, built in 2020 and set far back from the road for privacy, offers 1-bedroom, 1-bath, and 342 square feet of efficient living with durable metal siding and a metal roof. An established gravel driveway leads you in, while the owned solar system (panels new in 2021) supports sustainable living. Inside, you’ll find a cozy layout with smart use of space, including a loft above the bedroom for storage or extra sleeping. The home is equipped with a 400-foot well, septic, and propane heat (leased 250-gallon tank), making it ideal for year-round living or a peaceful getaway. The property truly shines with breathtaking views, incredible stargazing, and quiet surroundings. Wildlife such as elk, antelope, and sheep frequently pass through, and here you will have a front-row seat to the annual sandhill crane migration. Honeysuckle and aspen trees add natural beauty to the front yard, while a detached oversized one-car garage with concrete floors provides ample workshop space and includes a deep freezer! Two older, semi-remodeled campers offer extra sleeping or storage, along with a small greenhouse for gardening. Nearby adventure awaits from the Sand Dunes Recreation Hot Springs, the Great Sand Dunes National Park, and casinos in New Mexico; this property blends seclusion with convenience. With weekly trash service available, USPS and UPS front porch delivery, and negotiable furnishings, it’s ready to enjoy immediately as a full-time home or weekend escape.
