Thirty-five acres of open Colorado high country in southern Huerfano County, about 23 miles north of Walsenburg. The Spanish Peaks rise to the northwest-two 13,000-foot sentinels that have guided travelers through this country for centuries. From the property, you're looking at unobstructed views in every direction: mountains to the west, rolling high plains stretching east toward Kansas. This is Lot 133 in Unit G of the CL&L Ranch subdivision, sitting at 6,600 feet on flat, native-grass terrain. Access is via dirt subdivision roads off CR 651-4WD or high-clearance vehicle encouraged. This is off-grid land. Huerfano County keeps zoning simple: mobiles, tiny homes, barndominiums, RVs, and camping are all permitted. No HOA. No deed restrictions telling you what you can or can't do with your own land. Put up a yurt, park an Airstream, run a few goats, or hold it while the Front Range keeps pushing south. The region is big-sky country at its core-dry grasslands giving way to pinon-juniper foothills and the snow-capped Sangre de Cristos beyond. Lathrop State Park, Colorado's first state park, is about 45 minutes south near Walsenburg. Great Sand Dunes National Park is under two hours west. Pueblo is an hour north on I-25; Colorado Springs is 90 minutes. The Highway of Legends scenic byway-one of Colorado's most dramatic drives-winds through the Spanish Peaks just west of here. This is one of the most affordable parcels in the county.
