There are 3500+ parcels in Forbes Park and only about 700 were designated as premium lots and sold by Forbes for up to $25,000.  Regular lots originally sold for $6000.   Presently, electric power is about one mile away, and the residents in that area are using solar and wind power systems for their homes and cabins.People with cabins often use a cistern or buried tank and have water delivered for about $120 for up to 3000 gallons. Such a system costs much less than a well. But well permits are readily available and the average well depth up there is $180’. A complete well costs about $8500 in 2008. The soil up there drains well for septic systems, and that is a common method of waste disposal.   There is a small seasonal stream at the edge of this property, a tributary to Wagon Creek, that flows toward the north on the other side of the railroad track. In the summer months, a tourist train From Alamosa to La Veta travels on that track through Forbes Park to the little town of La Veta.
