Property Summary
**This property has SOLD. Please check out our other available properties!**
Discover the magic of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains on your own 7.99-acre lot at the very back of Forbes Park. This property sits near the end of a dead-end road with thousands of acres of Forest Service land just one lot away. Build your private cabin here or park your camper on your own land for short visits. The Forbes Park Landowners Association maintains the roads even in winter so you can access your property year-round. This property has hundreds of beautiful mature pine trees and aspen trees, and was not burned in the 2018 fire that affected the more northern areas of Forbes Park.
Forbes Park is one of Southern Colorado's most desirable subdivisions. This gated community has 5,000 acres of Common Land for you to enjoy with two small lakes and several mountain streams. Because the area is still lightly developed, you can have a rural lifestyle without living too remote. Fort Garland (population 600) is just 55 minutes away for basic supplies and services. (See the picture of the nearby cabin for inspiration on what this property could become!) This lot does not have utilities and is best suited for off-grid living (solar, wind, generator). Septic would need to be installed before building.
This area was sacred to the Navajo, and the magic still radiates through the mountains and the San Luis Valley. Wildlife is abundant in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, and this property sits in the heart of the Trinchera Herds range. With 16,000 elk roaming through the area, you may find a trophy bull on your own property and you can have a front-row seat to the fall rut. Deer, bobcats, mountain lions, and black bears also roam through this area, making it an ideal place for your hunting camp or wildlife photography headquarters.
This is one of the largest lots in the area and with it's proximity to the San Isabel National Forest, it won't last long. Click the "Buy Now" button below to make it yours.

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.
