Description
41-acre institutionally-zoned (I-2) property that adjoins Great Sand Dunes Nat'l Park, the Ziggurat & Baca Grande greenbelt - opportunity for retreat/educational use. N & S Alpine Falls Trail are cul-de-sacs at the very south edge of the Grants. Dirt 2-tracks access the elevated ridge from the west and north. Sweeping panoramic views on all sides. Crestone & the Baca Grande are renowned for towering 14,000-ft peaks, soaring views & unspoiled nature. Indigenous Americans along with pilgrims of varying ilk have been drawn to these mountains for centuries. Legend has it the mountains earned their name (Sangre de Cristo) after the red hues observed on the peaks at sunset. Crestone is a historic mining town from the 19th century. Today, it is an eclectic mountain community, far from the hustle and bustle, where one will as soon encounter an outdoor enthusiast as a nun/monk in full burgundy robes. The eastern peaks cast their protective gaze over the lands below. Only a couple of miles to pavement, then a 15-min drive to town. Crestone, an international Dark Skies Community, is famous for sunny days (285/yr) and starry nights, has organic/natural meat & produce grocers, hardware, USPS, gallery, cafes, restaurant, pub, gifts more. This property requires well, septic and alternative electric source, like solar PV. The San Luis Valley is ideal for passive/active solar design, as well as PV-electric generation. Use is subject to Manitou covenants and environmental & architectural guidelines. See MLS supplemental documents for these, along with plat map. Zoning is by the county. Within the Baca Grande Property Owners Association. Please consult with Manitou, county, and POA regarding development. Call broker for contact details.
