IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT FORBES PARK FOR SERIOUS BUYERS -- PLEASE READ Forbes Park Website The link above will lead to the Forbes Park Website, which has great photos of homes, wildlife and scenery. It also has the covenants that are currently in force- or you can read a summary of them by clicking to the right and opening up in a new browser window --->>> (General information- you must be an owner with a login to access all the features) Click to open Article VIII- Protective Covenants CONTACT US WITH QUESTIONS - Click Forbes Park is a gated community about 13 miles east of Fort Garland and 130 miles south west of Colorado Springs. It is truly a "PARK" with many alpine meadows, aspen, spruce and fir forests, and several alpine lakes. Forbes developed Forbes Park starting in the Mid 1970's and sold all properties. The Homeowner's Association maintains roads, common areas and the club house keeping the area pristine and as a first class gated development is the goal of the residents. Only short-term camping is allowed, and covenants ensure that new construction fits into its natural, alpine setting. The Association has snow plows and many of these parcels are accessible the year around. Just Added to our site- A summary of the Camping procedures: Camping at Forbes Park The overriding consideration for camping in Forbes Park is the Fire Danger. There are strict regulations for fires and there is a need to know the location of all campers in case of an ordered evacuation.  A secondary consideration is leaving a set-up camp for days or weeks. Since Forbes Park is such a pristine area, the 30+ year old Covenants prohibit parking or storage of camping trailers and RV’s on the owner’s property. Forbes Park has a designated storage area with a moderate monthly cost.  The Covenants limit camping as detailed below.   Owners may camp on their property for three days, without advance notice. Just fill out the camping form inside the gate and deposit it in the drop box. Owners may camp on their property for up to three weeks, by applying to the ECC (Environmental Control Committee).  This should be done at least 7 days in advance. After three weeks, the trailer or RV has to be removed for at least 24 hours. After that, another three week stay is possible.  Seasonal stays are also possible to allow an owner to stay on their property during construction.  The board has also allowed seasonal stays under other special occasions. Effective October 1, 2005 - Forbes Park is charging a fee of $200 to change ownership on a parcel located there.  There is a form to complete and also the fee must be collected during the title transfer process, and the buyer(s) must sign a the agreement before they will be issued a gate card and be permitted access to Forbes Park.  You can not go in the park without a gate key and there is an attended gate now with staff on hand to check.  You can also not LEAVE the park without a gate key.  Therefore, check with Wolfgang's Schedule if you want an appointment to view Forbes Park properties.
