Property Summary
This is a 2.4+ acre property that is perfect for a mountain cabin. Take advantage of this unique opportunity: this property was burnt in a wildfire, so you can pick up a coveted piece of Colorado for a reduced price.
This property lies along the very edge of Forbes Park and backs up to Wagon Creek and common land. The terrain is perfect for a cabin with a walkout basement or elevated rear deck since the property slopes down starting about 200 ft away from the road. Take in the beautiful valley views and watch the elk drink from the creek from this high vantage point.
For a limited time, harvest the burned trees from your own property and use them to build your cabin! This property will be even better than it was before because the soil is more fertile and the underbrush has already been taken care of. The trees can be easily and inexpensively cleared to make room for your cabin or private campground. No permits are needed to clear the burnt trees, and once cleared, you can plant your surroundings however you want.
Forbes Park is a coveted gated community above 8,500 ft elevation that has well-maintained roads throughout the year, meaning that you have year-round access to your retreat when you build or camp. The Park comprises approximately 13,000 acres, with 5,000 of it being common land, with multiple streams, small lakes, and hiking trails to explore. Dues are only $275/year and include the road maintenance and trash removal as well. There is a community center with RV hookups for owners to use. It is extremely private and borders the San Isabel National forest. There are owner-only access points to the national forest from within Forbes Park - imagine bringing your friends out to your hunting basecamp that is so close to all of this public land!
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!

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.
