Property Summary
Build your off-grid mountain getaway here in the Sangre de Cristo mountains among hundreds of pine and aspen trees, abundant wildlife, and beautiful views near the San Isabel National Forest. This property allows you to escape the grid and the fast-growing cities of other parts of Colorado - it’s still wild out here!
The terrain is perfect for a cabin with a walkout basement or elevated rear deck since the property slopes mildly down from the road towards the mountain valley below. It would also be ideal for a camping retreat to get away from the summer heat, or a hunting basecamp to bring your buddies before heading into the National Forest. And it’s only 45 minutes to Fort Garland for supplies. Electric, if desired, is in the area and can be brought to the lot. Wells in the area provide great quality water. This property was not affected by the 2018 Spring Fire. At almost 10,000 ft elevation, this is a true alpine retreat.
This is your opportunity to own 2.46 acres in the highly desired gated community of Forbes Park. Forbes Park has over 5,000 acres of common land for use by the property owners, with numerous streams, two small lakes, and lots of hiking. There are owner-only access points to the San Isabel National Forest and BLM land which surrounds the Park. All roads are graded and maintained by the landowner’s association, and dues are only $275/year. The owners here take pride in maintaining the beauty and natural landscape of the area, preserving views for future generations.
This is a great investment property. The prices in this area have been rising significantly in the past 2 years. Get in now while it is still affordable!
Priced at $13,997 for a cash sale. Or, we can provide owner financing with $1,300 down and $350/month for 48 months with no interest. Click the "Buy now" button at the bottom of the page to secure the property with a $250 deposit and $250 doc fee!

Rachel made the entire land purchase a "piece of cake". She walked me through everything and was right on top of things. As soon as I sent the money, the deed was notarized and recorded only a couple of days later. I just visited my new property in Wolf Creek Montana today and I am very pleased with the purchase. Thank you again 😊
The Ashbrook Land Company is a superb company. Their communication skills and desire to help you obtain the land of your dreams is top notch. Probably some of the best service I’ve had when buying a piece of land. I would recommend them to anyone.
I just purchased a piece of land from Ashbrook Land Co., LLC, and I am very happy with the professional yet personal approach that Bob and Rachel Ashbrook gave to me.The whole process was easy and painless, and only took a couple of days. Everything was done online, but I felt completely secure giving out my personal information, because I think the Ashbrooks are truly honest people to deal with.
