Carpentry Plus*

We can recommend our friend, Stacy Collins of Collins Carpentry for everything from houses, cabins, excavations, septic systems, to roofs, and whatever you can think of needing.   He has been highly recommended by customers who are using him already for driveways, pads, and septic systems, and he has built a great cabin for himself in the high country and lives up there most of the summer until late fall. He is finishing another cabin that is already sold in SDCR.   He is a sportsman and loves this part of Colorado, but winters in Missouri with his family. Contact information:

Local phone 719-937-1081, or try this cell: 417-955-1606.  His email is fastfoxx@hotmail.com

Forbes Park Unit J-2, Block 131, Lot 2348 -- 2.62 acres.  Financing not available for this parcel:  Best Offer over $32,000

On the side of the Big Lake-- located towards the end of Benton Place, this parcel has access to the Lake and includes the grassy area shown in some of the photos.  The upper portion near the road is very steep and will require creative and well-planned out road work in order to gain access to the meadow area at the lake edge and to locate a building site.  A parcel at the other end of Benton Pl which is nearer to the main road and also has some amenities such as power and underground phone in place and is also less sloped has been listed for $59,900.  There are mature pines and an abundance of wildlife in this area.  We have several other photos of this property - furnished upon request.

SLVR Unit 20, Block 47, Lot 8 -- 5 Acres -- $3,650 Cash/FastPay with $650 down followed by 15 monthly payments of $200

 

This property has great mountain views, with Blanca Massif to the north, the Sangre de Cristos to the east, and the San Juans to the west. The parcel is flat with sagebrush ground-cover.  This lot is an ideal candidate for solar power, while a well would likely hit water less than 100 feet down.  Alamosa with its WalMart, Safeway, restaurants, college, hospital, auto-repair shops and other amenities is about 25 minutes west, while the town of Blanca is about 5 miles northeast.

Driving Directions:  From the western edge of the town of Blanca, drive west on U.S. Highway 160 about 3.8 miles to a left turn on County Rd. 11 (also known as Mountain View Rd.).  Drive south on County Rd. 11 about 2.7 miles to a right turn on Denver Rd.  Follow Denver Rd. 3.5 miles; stop car.  Lot is on right, with 330 ft. frontage along Denver Rd. -- see map below.

Forbes Park Unit E-1, Block 51, Lot 1082 -- 1.7 Acres -- $5,900 Cash/FastPay, $6,500 Financed with $1,500 down followed by 25 monthly payments of $200

 

This parcel is in an excellent location near the front of the Park and only 900’ from underground power.  It has several newer, extra nice cabins nearby.  The terrain is gently sloped with a great number of tall trees, several 2’ in diameter and 60’ high.  The parcel will really take shape if someone uses a chain saw and clears out some undergrowth which will open up the lot to sunshine and views. Removal of trees on Forbes Park property is subject to approval by a committee.

ALPINE PROPERTY IN THE SDCR - CLICK

Sub-Alpine Properties in the SDCR - Click

SDCR has covenants and is designed for residences although 90% of it is open and not settled consisting of some permanent residences and many camping sites 

It is required to get permits for building from the county - that includes driveways and septic systems

There is no regulation which prohibits camping, although recently the county defined the frequency that you can camp.  Sanitation and open fires are an issue.  

You must follow the county regulations 

We urge all prospective buyers to read the covenants thoroughly and be familiar with them.  We follow them and we expect you to also, if you purchase from us!

While you are purchasing land from us, we do not allow building projects, living on the land, or storing of equipment, supplies, or vehicles.  We do allow short-term camping.  All county Rules and Regulations must be followed regarding camping and permitting.  If you get our permission, you can put in a driveway and/or camping pad, with a permit from the county.  There might be a few exceptions, such as keeping a fire-pit on the property which we can allow on an individual basis.

The lot has a gentle upslope.  It has a 400’ frontage on Winding Road and goes about 600 ‘ uphill. The upper 150’ of the property has a nice stand of pinon trees and that would be a nice location for a shady gazebo.

The Costilla County Assessor has valued this parcel at $12,000 which results in a property tax of $180/year. Even with a $100,000 home, the taxes usually run under $600 per year.

Directions: From Fort Garland, take U.S. Highway 160 east for about 1.8 miles to a right turn into the Trinchera Ranches.  Follow Trinchera Ranch Rd. about 2.7 miles to a left turn at Scheffellin.  Take Scheffellin to the end, then turn right on Frelinghuysen.  Follow Frelinghuysen about 0.4 miles to a left turn at Winding Rd., then drive 0.4 miles.  Lot is on left -- see map below.

For Sale:  Sangre De Cristo Ranches Unit C2, Block 189, Lot 3479 --  5.05 Acres

Sales Price:  $20,900

This property is owned by one of our customers from Minnesota, who bought the land from us 9 years ago.  They’ve enjoyed the place for many years, but find that now that their children have grown older, they no longer visit as frequently as they did in the past and decided to sell. 

At the end of a nice long driveway - this small one room cabin sits surrounded by 1,000 year old pinon trees and affording spectacular views of the Sangre De Cristos, including the Blanca Massiff.   The finished cabin was built about 5 years ago, is insulated, has a privacy room for the toliet and includes a 500 gallon water tank (stored inside during the winter and seen in the photos) and a septic holding tank outside.  The owner has used solar panels and batteries in the past for power.  There are two outside areas that are suitable for parking or additional camping.  Although isolated and private, this parcel is less than 5 miles from the small town of Ft. Garland with a grocery store, Post Office, gas stations, several restaurants and two motels. 

Directions:  From Ft. Garland head east on U.S. Hwy 160 1.8 miles to Trinchera Ranches entrance.  Turn right and follow Trinchera Ranch Rd. 1.1 miles to a left turn at Beekman.  Go up Beekman 0.9 miles to a right turn at Slaughter.  Take first right at McLaughlin, then drive 0.4 miles to a left turn at Heltzer.  Follow Heltzer past Bixby -- look for where the Pinon trees come into view on the left side of the road.  Driveway entrance is marked by two wooden posts and with a chain.

SLVR Unit 13, Block 6, Lot 4  --  5 Acres -- Alamosa County --  $8,100 Cash or $9,000 with $3000 down and 33 monthly payments of $200.  (Lot 4 & 5 sold to Richard and Amy D. from MO on 8-28-13)

This land is on the lower slopes of the Mount Blanca Massif, 3 miles from paved CO 150 and 5.5 miles from the little town of Blanca on US Hwy 160. The last half mile to the property is rugged with rocks and dips, and requires slow speeds and 7" minimum ground clearance. A 4 wheel drive vehicle is recommended. Unit 13 is surrounded by public land. The San Isabel National Forest boundary is 1/2 mile away and BLM land is 1/4 mile away-both in easy walking distance. Tobin Creek flows 1/2 mile to the east and some locals use that as their water source. The Rio Grande National Forest is also nearby. The Forest Service Access Road leading up to Lake Como (Alpine Lake) and several of the 14,000' peaks is less than 3 miles away. The Sand Dunes National Park Entrance is 18 miles away, and San Luis Lakes, with great rainbow trout fishing is 22 miles away.  This is a great area for vacationing and hunting but we would not recommend it for a permanent residence. There are two mountain homesteaders living in the area.This lot is on a gentle, south facing down slope, ideal for solar power. People in the immediate area are using water tanks and cisterns. There are no wells nearby, but it is estimated that depth to good water would be less than 250'. Composting toilets, incineration toilets and septic systems are used in Alamosa County. Directions: From US 160 in Blanca head west on 160 for almost six miles and turn right on Colorado Hwy 150, the Sand Dunes Road. Zero odometer as you turn north on 150. As odometer turns over 2.5 miles, take the next right turn and head east on 18th St for 2.44 miles. Turn left and then take the trail to the left, along the fence. Zero odometer again as you start on trail. Head north-west and then north for 1 mile and turn right on unmarked 22nd St. Zero odometer again as you turn. Near odometer 0.2, watch for driveway to your left and stop vehicle. 50 ' past that point. You will be near the east end of 13.6.5, which will be on your right. There is a long pole that can be seen marking the corner between lots 4 and 5.

This is a great lot. It is a corner property at Malcolm and Jacquez .There is a small stream flowing across the street. This area has large, alpine meadows with outstanding views toward Trinchera Peak and the southern portion of the Sangre De Cristo Range.  Here, the locals have their cabins and it is there where they go elk hunting in October and November.

But please note: This area is not suitable for a year-round residence.  They get up to 20 feet of cumulative snowfall and the only way to get there in the winter is by snowmobile. But once the snow has melted, there are green meadows with alpine flowers and tall, healthy trees.

 

Directions: From Fort Garland, head south on CO 159 for about 11 miles.  Watch green Mile Markers.  After Mile Marker #22, watch for Jasper Road on your left. Turn on Jasper, take the next right and after almost ½ mile, turn left on Rito Seco.  Zero odometer as you turn on Rito Seco.  Head east on Rito Seco.  Near odometer 4.7, pass buildings of the closed Battle Mountain Gold Mine.  Near odometer 5.3, turn right unto Forbes Road.  Zero odometer again as you turn on Forbes.  Head up Forbes for 3.6+ miles and turn right on Malcolm.  After 0.3 miles Malcom turns left.  Continue on Malcom for a little over two miles dropping from 10,000’ elevation to about 9400’.  Stop at the corner of Jacquez and Malcom.  Lot will be on your left -- check plat map to locate the property.
