Published Article about living in Forbes Park written by Bruce and Carol McElmurray- Mother Earth News: August/September 2010 Forbes Park is a gated community 13 miles east of Fort Garland and 130 miles south west of Colorado Springs, CO.  It is truly a PARK with many alpine meadows, aspen, spruce and fir forests and several alpine lakes.  Malcom Forbes began developing the area in the mid 70's and was the sales agent for the properties.  The Homeowners Association maintains the roads, common areas, and a clubhouse, in a pristine manner with the goal of keeping it as a first class gated development.  By clicking on the Forbes Park website, you can read their covenants, by-laws, access a complete knowledge base of camping, building, winter road maintenance, hunting, etc.  It is vital that you spend some time reading over that information if you are serious because many of your questions will be answered.  While you are purchasing land from us, we do not allow building projects, living on the land, or storing of equipment, supplies, or vehicles.  We do allow short-term camping.  All county Rules and Regulations must be followed regarding camping and permitting.  If you get our permission, you can put in a driveway and/or camping pad, with a permit from the county.  There might be a few exceptions, such as keeping a fire-pit on the property which we can allow on an individual basis.   Forbes Park Website   2015 Pricelist  Description                                         Size      Cash      Financed                Terms     FP Unit D-1 Block 39 Lot 788   1.24 2,650 2,650   650/$200/10 mo FPUnit  E-1 Block 49, Lot 1045   1.23 4,900 5,500   5.5K/2K/$126/30 mo FP Unit G-1 Block 86, Lot 1663   1.66 5,900 6,500   6K/1,5K/$200/25mo FP Unit H-1 Block 104 Lot 1941   1.51 6,300 7,000   7k/2k/$200/25 mo FP Unit H-1 Block 104 Lot 1948   1.59 7,200 8,000   8k/3k/$200/25 mo FP Unit H-1 Block 104 Lot 1949   1.92 7,200 8,000   8K/3K/$200/25 mo FP Unit J-1 Block 125 Lot 2292   1.74 5,900 6,500   6.5K/2,5K 200/20 mo FP Unit D-1 Block 42 Lot 832   1.95 7,700 8,500   8.5K/3,5K/200/25 FPUnit  E-1 Block 51, Lot 1082   1.7 9,000 10,000   10K/3K/$160/50 mo FP Unit G-1 Block 86, Lot 1659(Drive)   2.06 9,000 10,000   10K/3K/$200/35mo FP Unit F-2  Block 77  Lot 1537   1.361 9,900 11,000   11K/4k/$160/50 mo FP Unit F-2  Block 77  Lot 1538   1.48 10,800 12,000   12K/4K/$200/45mo FP Unit F-1 Block 69 Lot 1401   1.6 12,600 14,000   14K/4K/$200/58 mo FP Unit E-1, Block 53, Lot 1126   1.62 18,000 20,000   20K/10K/$250/45 mo

The photo of the Cabin is that of the neighbor, as this parcel is only land.  It is mainly level from the road with scattered aspens and pines.  Some clearing would be needed to create a homesite and driveway.  The property borders on a greenbelt area and from the south-western edge of the parcel there is a view of Mt. Blanca and Mt. Lindsey.  It seems like a park on that edge and nobody could ever build and destroy that view.  The price reflects the availability of power.

This is the last of our Greenbelt properties in Forbes Park.  We have new photos of it to the side, and have others in our files that we can email.  This parcel is over 2 acres and has northeast boundary up next to the Greenbelt which guarantees no building or obstructions in that area.  It is allowed to hike in the Greenbelt, but no ATV's or any type of travel that would damage the delicate areas.  It is often spongy in the center portion as it is a dip and collects water at that elevation and allows it to pass through to keep the area green in summer.  There is easy access to this parcel off Towey Pl.  On the driveway side there are nice trees and shade for a private area, then a gentle slope down to the Greenbelt.      A Photo Pan of the Greenbelt Area - Fall of 2009 Click the photo above to go to the Premium Lot Page with more photos and information Map showing GPS Coordinates of 1659 and 1663 Click to Enlarge Forbes Park Road Map showing 1659 Click to Enlarge
