Property Summary
Don’t miss out on this rare opportunity to own 2.3 acres bordering the Sanchez Reservoir! It’s situated in Little Norway, a residential subdivision nestled along the banks of the reservoir and set against the backdrop of the Sangre De Cristo Mountains. Imagine waking up to awe-inspiring scenery, tranquil waters, and the promise of adventure right at your doorstep. The northern portion of this property would be the perfect spot to put a cabin with an elevated deck facing the south, as the natural slope of the land gives you spectacular views of the water and mountains. This blank canvas invites you to dream big - create an outdoor haven, or a campsite on the lake. The neighborhood of Little Norway aims to maintain and preserve the natural beauty of the area, enhancing the value of the property.

This property belongs to the Little Norway POA, which provides road maintenance, as well as power and water lines that run right to the property. There is a water tap fee and a limit of 6,000 gallons per lot per month. They enforce a set of “reasonable, good neighbor restrictions” that go along with the lot. The goal is to preserve the tranquility and natural beauty of the landscape, as well as maintain a clean and pleasant environment. Please see the “Files” section below to review the full list of covenants and restrictions.
You can reach San Luis in under a half hour, where you’ll find plenty of stores, gas stations, restaurants, and lodging. Alamosa is about an hour away and has a hospital and an airport. This area is rich in outdoor experiences, such as the Mountain Home Reservoir (48 minutes) or Smith Reservoir (51 minutes) – both are great fishing spots! While you cannot hunt on your land, the Trinchera Ranch is just under an hour away. Here you can hunt and even stay overnight. The Sanchez Reservoir borders the property. As the water levels vary throughout the year, they may not always reach the property. But you will have direct access to the reservoir, where you can fish, hike, or just watch the wild horses roam.

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.
