Property Summary

If mountain views are what you’re looking for, this is the spot for you! This 35.31 acre parcel sits between Greenhorn Mountain and the Spanish Peaks, giving you beautiful scenery on all sides. There is plenty of room to build a full-time home or a weekend getaway cabin. There is a rise in the middle of the property that would be great for building – you would have spectacular mountain views out of every window! You could even just keep the land as a smart investment. There are two well-maintained gravel/dirt roads that run right along the parcel borders, and Highway 160 is only about 2 miles away. It’s accessible year-round and easy to reach. There is a seasonal streambed running through the property, attracting wildlife and enhancing the natural beauty of the land. You might see elk, deer, and antelopes, along with some cows and coyotes. There are plenty of cedar trees, along with high desert shrubs and cactus. The rest is covered in plains grass. Bring your horses or livestock, or explore the landscape with your ATV.

  • 35.31 acre ranch in the River Ridge Ranch POA.
  • Common areas provided by the POA – including lakes!
  • Easy access to the property via well-maintained gravel/dirt roads running along the Eastern and Western borders of the property.
  • Highway 160 is only 2 miles away.
  • You can reach Walsenburg, CO in about 11 minutes.

Out here, you can have the off-grid homestead of your dreams! But if you’re more interested in on-grid living, you’re in luck - there is a power box on the lot that is serviced by San Isabel Electric. There are plenty of wells in the area, and water levels average between 60-100 feet. A septic system would need to be installed if you plan to build.

The River Ridge Ranch POA offers covenant protected property for those who want to want to live out in the country while also protecting the value of land investment. You’ll have peace of mind knowing that all of your neighbors are committed to providing a peaceful environment – the kind of tranquility you can only find in the Colorado mountains!

This area offers tons of things to do! You’ll be right in between Walsenburg and La Veta. Both towns offer plenty of restaurants, stores, and lodging. Lathrop State Park, which is only about 10 minutes away, offers hiking, camping, fishing, water sports – it even has a golf course! You can reach the Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve in just over an hour. There you’ll find lots of opportunities to sightsee, camp, sandboard, sand sled, and boat. The highest summit of the Culebra Range of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains is a two hour drive away. You’ll also be about 2 hours away from two national forests – the Rio Grande National Forest and the San Isabel National Forest. If you're interested in hunting, you can head about 15 minutes north to the TM Ranch. You'll be in GMU 85, with plenty of elk, mule deer, and antelope.

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.
