Property Features
It is located in an area that we lovingly refer to as “Magic Valley,” with amazing views of snow-capped peaks. This area is a favorite for local families, several of which own cabins along connecting roads throughout the valley.
This property has varied terrain, generally gaining altitude from the cul-de-sac at the end of Jacquez, with many interesting features to explore. There are several potential building areas off the road, which would require minor tree removal. There are also a few spots that would be great for pitching tents. Summertime temperatures in this area are typically 10-20 degrees cooler than in the San Luis Valley, which makes it a great destination for beating the heat.
