Recreational & Residential Land for Sale in San Luis, Colorado
N Melby Ranch Rd, San Luis, CO 81152
Set on the Wild Horse Mesa at just over 8,500 feet, this nicely treed 35-acre parcel sits between two Rocky Mountain subranges: the sweeping vistas of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains stand up close in the east and the San Juan Mountains are in the distance to the west.
A walk across the property will deliver the smell of fresh sage in the air, a mountain breeze, and the calls of chickadees overhead. Wild Horses still roam here as evidenced in one of the photos, so bring yor camera when come to see this fabulous property for yourself. Sunrises here, over the Sangre de Cristo peaks are beautiful, and then at sunset the Sangres mountain often glow a phenomenal pink as the sun is dropping in the west.
This off-grid property is ready for your Colorado dream, whether that's a mountain retreat, a homestead, or a quiet getaway surrounded by nature.
