Weekend Escape Today, Full-Time Home Tomorrow
At 1.51 acres, this Forbes Park lot gives you room to build the mountain life you’ve been picturing. The land sits in the high country of southern Colorado, where the Sangre de Cristo Mountains rise all around you and the air is clean and cool. Young trees are coming up across the property, so you get to decide what stays and what grows. Keep an open view of the peaks, or let the trees fill in around you for more privacy. It’s your call, and you can change it as the years go by. This is a place to build a cabin or a full-time home and put down real roots. Picture morning coffee on your deck, a weekend camping trip to plan your build, and quiet nights under a sky full of stars. Electric is within reach, and there’s plenty of sun for solar if you want to go off-grid. Access is off Ueda Pl, and Forbes Park’s maintained roads and gated entry make it easy to get in and out while keeping the community safe and private. More people are discovering Forbes Park every year, and new neighbors are building homes and making this growing community their own. Step outside the gate and there’s a lot to explore. Elk and deer roam the area, and trails, fishing spots, and hunting grounds are close by. Fort Garland is a short drive for everyday needs, and Alamosa offers shopping, dining, and a hospital. Great Sand Dunes National Park is about an hour away, where you can hike giant dunes with the mountains behind you. If you want space, fresh air, and a fresh start, this lot is ready for you.
