This land is located in Southern Colorado, right across the northern New Mexico border along Wild Horse Mesa. This property has 1500 feet of highway frontage on the road to Taos (Hwy 522 in NM or Hwy 159 in Colorado). It is also located far enough north that Wild Horse Mesa does not get in the way of the gorgeous views of the Sangre de Cristo mountain range which are on the east to the north of the property.
You can see from horizon to horizon on this property and not see a building of any kind for as far as you can see. Wild Horse Mesa on the east to southeast, rolling sagebrush with mountain views on east over to the north and hills, mesas, and bluffs to the south over to the west for as far as the eye can see =360 degree views.. (looks just like the land around Taos)..
We have seen elk here in the winter and early spring and a neighbor told us he has seen 2,000 elk crossing the highway onto our property at one time trying to get to the valley. Elk hunting in Colorado and New Mexico is only minutes away.
....Skiing is 20 minutes away at Costilla Ski resort and 45 miles to Red River New Mexico and 55 miles to Taos. The area is nestled in the fabulous San Luis Valley in southern Colorado, the world's highest true valley at 8000 feet above sea level. The San Luis Valley is ringed by the three National Forests of the San Juans and Sangre de Cristo Mountains. San Luis, the oldest town in Colorado, adjoins the north end of the area. Lake Sanchez, is great for sailing and water sports. You will find Northern Pike and Rainbow Trout in Lake Sanchez and surrounding area. The area abounds with wild sage and pinon pine home to wild horses, deer, elk and squirrel. Overhead are eagles, ravens and bluebirds. This is a nice area to build that dream home or to buy property for investment purposes.
There are no improvements. Two water wells can be drilled on this property, one per each 35 acres, by law. (beware of properties with less than 35 acres in southern Colorado-you may not have any water rights). Septic is allowed and permit is available. Electric power on adjacent property. Telephone line runs across property
