SDCR Unit G-2, Block 217, Lot 4427---5.21 Acres-- $11,000 with our financing with $4,000 Down and then $150/mo for 63 months.  Cash and Fast Pay Price is $9,900

...

Located about 2.5 from US Highway 160 Mile Marker 268 (Forbes Park exit with flashing yellow light), at an elevation of 8,870 feet, this is one of the nicest lots in our inventory.  This parcel has a fantastic view of the Blanca Massif, with four 14,000’ plus peaks and the Valley in between.  It also has a great view east toward La Veta Pass.  It has a nice stand of tall, ponderosa pines.  There are two permanent residences in that area, where people live all year, but we do not recommend this location for a permanent or retirement home.  It is much better suited for a cabin or camping spot.  We have several nice, treed view lots available closer to town with much better winter access.  There are no utilities and the people up there use solar panels with batteries and converters, propane tanks, wood stoves, cell phones and satellite internet and TV.  Most people with cabins will take a few canisters of water with them. Permanent residents will usually have a well or buried water tank.  There is a "Park Model" cabin next door with a green roof (visible in a photo).

SUB-ALPINE PROPERTIES
Sangre De Cristo Ranches Sub-Alpine Lots are generally above 8,800' in elevation with some as high as 9,500'. They have nearly year-round access, with the occasional snow storm making road conditions difficult for a few days at a time.

Since the temperature drops 3.2 degrees for every 1000' of elevation, it is often up to 15 degrees cooler in these areas. Precipitation goes up with elevation, and while at 8,500' in our area we have pinons and cedars, tall trees will be found above 9,200' ( Ponderosas, Spruce, Firs and Aspen).
While two-wheel drive and all-wheel drive vehicles are able to access these lots most of the time, four-wheel drive is a good idea for those who either live in these areas full-time or visit frequently.  The area is ideal to sit on the porch of a cabin just to cool off when the temperatures in Denver and Colorado Springs get up close to 100 degrees.

Many of out sub-alpine parcel customers are hunters. They will use their cabin for family outings in the Summer and bring their hunting buddies up there in September for bow hunting and muzzle loading season or during the regular hunting seasons in October and November. The Sangre de Cristo Elk Herd ranges from 4,000-6,000 animals, and hunting is usually good above 10,000'. There are thousands of acres of Greenbelt available for hunting and with a large parcel with proper terrain and no occupied cabins within 1/4 mile, it is often possible to hunt on your own land.
