One hundred and nine
acres of southern Colorado land for sale that explode with views and and
a sense of expanse that blends into the sky. Every direction that you look,
every hour of the day, and every season will create a resounding sense of
true awe and respect for the beauty of southern
Colorado. This southern Colorado land sits at the edge of the Chromo
Valley, in heart of the San Juan Mountains,
and overlooks the Navajo Peaks. Just about 1 mile north of the property
the Navajo River flows out of the Navajo Basin and through the Chromo valley.
The Chromo valley is a combination of large cattle ranches and a few subdivisions.
Most Colorado mountain land real estate
in the Pagosa Springs area list for five times more than this property.
It is easy to see why the sale of this southern Colorado land is such a
phenomenal value.
The property has a maintained road and entry gate on its southern border.
Electricity is already installed on the southern border of the acreage and
a well may be drilled to tap the abundant underground water. From the southern
border of the acreage the grass lands stretch out across three pastures;
then the ponderosas swoop up onto a plateau of oak and spruce. The original
vision for this acreage was to use the lush grasses of the pastures as grazing
for a small number of horses and build a small ranch house on the plateau
overlooking the pasture lands. However, the property does support the splitting
of the 109 acres into three smaller plots. There are three excellent building
sites on the acreage each haveing breathtaking views and good isolation.
The 'details' page of this web
site shows an aerial view of the 109 acres and contains hyperlinks to photographs
of the pastures, trees, ponds, and plateau.
The community of Pagosa Springs
is about 20 miles to the north on highway 84 and Santa
Fe is about 100 miles to the south. (See
map) The city of Durango is
74 miles to the west of the property on Highway 160, and Wolf
Creek Ski Area is 25 miles to the east. The town of Chromo
is about 1 mile from the acreage and basically consists of a store,
gas station, post office, and video rental. There are occasions when you
see the local children riding their horses down to the store for a snack
or video rental. At times you can truly see the perfection of the old West
still alive in Chromo. This 109 acres is unique in its combination of location,
climate, views, water, and pure undisturbed natural beauty.
The climate of the valley ranges from hot summer days to snow covered fields
during the months of December through February. The peaks of the surrounding
rim stay covered with snow from December through late March. Many people
find the dry cold of the winter months refreshing, as the cold does not
sink into your bones like the cold of the eastern seaboard. Spring and summer
combine the perfect balance of hot days and cools nights and are perfect
for fishing and horseback riding. The valley has a spectacular fall season
full cool breezes and aspens that set the hillsides on fire with color.
