History

San Luis, the oldest town in Colorado, was established on April 5, 1851. Once a part of four Spanish land grants decreed by the King of Spain, the town's adobe architecture and its classic Spanish town layout retain the texture of the historical and cultural influences which shaped the early communities of southern Colorado. The surrounding area is mainly a farming and agriculture area.

Hispanic settlers from the Taos Valley established several small villages along the Rio Culebra in the San Luis Valley and officially took possession of this portion of the Sangre de Cristo Land Grant on April 5, 1851.

Taos - 1 hour Angel Fire - 1.5 hours Interstate 25 - 1 hour The Culebra River borders the south end of the property which offers a great for good Brown fishing. The river and this property are both pretty and functional! The mountains in the distance are beautiful! I recommend seeing the sunrise over the mountains from the ranch. Outstanding views in all directions!

The property was once a part of the Spanish Land Grant and because of this, owners of this property have access rights to the Cielo Vista/Taylor mountain area which consists of about a 2000 acre working ranch for timber/lumber, and firewood gathering.
