NEW: SDCR Unit C-3, Block 287, Lot 6446 --9,900’ Elevation -- 8.87 Acres.  $25,500 Cash -- or $28,000 Financed, with $11,500 down and 55 monthly payments of $300.

This lot is accessible from approximately Memorial Day through December. It is located in an area that we lovingly refer to as "Magic Valley," with amazing views of snow-capped peaks. This area is a favorite for local families, several of which own cabins along connecting roads throughout the valley.

 

This property has varied terrain, generally gaining altitude from the cul-de-sac at the end of Jacquez, with many interesting features to explore.  There are several potential building areas off the road, which would require minor tree removal.  There are also a few spots that would be great for pitching tents.  Summertime temperatures in this area are typically 10-20 degrees cooler than in the San Luis Valley, which makes it a great destination to escape the heat.


 
There is a seasonal creek near the corner of Malcolm and Jacquez, a mile up the road.

Directions to SDCR C3.6446:  Please Note: These directions lead to an alpine parcel above 10,000'. This parcel is not accessible by vehicle with muddy or snowy roads.  Portions of Forbes have a very slippery silty clay surface and it is easy to slide into the ditch.  If these conditions are present, please chain up or forget it.  From Fort Garland head south on Colorado Hwy 159 for about 10 miles and after passing Mile Marker #22, turn left at Jasper Road.  Take the next right, go 1/4 mile and turn left at Rito Seco Road.  Head east on Rito Seco for about 5 miles, passing some Battle Mountain Gold Mine buildings on your left.  Then turn right on Forbes Road.  Forbes Road is the main road into the high country.  Zero odometer as you turn right on Forbes Road and go up the mountain for about 3.7 miles.  Turn right on Malcolm.  Take first left to stay on Malcolm, zero odometer.  Drive about 0.85 miles, take left at fork to stay on Malcolm, zero odometer.  Stay on Malcolm just over a mile to a 4-way intersection.  Turn left on Jacquez.  Drive about 1.0 miles to the end of Jacquez.  Lot is at end of cul-de-sac.  See maps below.

SDCR Unit E-3, Block 292, Lot 6649 -- 11,400’ Elevation --  5.5 Acres.  $23,400 Cash or Fast-Pay ($11,400 down and balance paid within 18 months) -- or $26,000 Financed, with $9,800 down and 54 monthly payments of $300.

This lot is accessible from approximately Memorial Day through December. It is located in an area with beautiful alpine meadows and Bristle Cone Pine stands. This area is a favorite for its commanding views from what feels like the "Top of the World."

 

There is about 100' near the road, with a less-than-10% slope, that could be used for camping or building.  The lot is approximately 800' in length from the road (elevation 11,400') to the southern corner (elevation 11,260').  In late Auguest and early September, several types of mushrooms grow beneath the trees and in the meadows in this area.

There is a very nice cabin located across Forbes and east of Moose, but for the most part this area is used for camping and recreating during the warmer months.
