Parcel Number 70261250 | 8.499 Acres | Borders Public Land SEE VIRTUAL TOUR Visit this one! It's just off the road and one of the best properties in the Sangre de Cristo Ranches. This 8.499-acre lot borders public land connected to Rito Seco Park and will never have neighbors on about two-thirds of its boundary, making it feel much larger and more private. This is the first parcel entering the Adelaide Road canyon, just off Highway 159. Electricity runs along Juarez Road near the intersection with Adelaide Road, making an on-grid home or cabin a real possibility. Fiber-optic service already runs along Adelaide Road. The canyon holds more moisture, allowing the trees to grow larger and thicker than in many nearby areas. It feels like a higher-elevation mountain property while still offering close access to San Luis and Fort Garland. The land has a gentle slope with several possible building and camping areas. A campsite could be completely hidden from the road. The arroyo provides several possible entry points where a culvert could be installed. This property offers excellent tree cover, privacy, public-land access, and space for a future home or cabin. Buyer should verify property boundaries, public-land access, road conditions, electrical and fiber-optic availability, connection costs, building requirements, culvert permits, and all permitted uses.
