Description

Totally flat land that used to be pastureland but with irrigation water. The only trees would be trees that individual lot owners have planted. Subdivision adjoins Highway 550 it has its own private access road that would be maintained by the HOA, which would also administer the irrigation water. Lots of deer in this particular section of the county because there’s lots of farmland and grass for the deer to eat. Good views of the snowcapped La Plata Mountains. You would have the Highway 550 noise to put up with. The subdivision was first developed in 1984 and is located at 6450 feet above sea level. Each lot would have its own water well and individual septic system. Bottled propane would be used for gas service. The homes in this project show pride of ownership and although they are not expensive, they are well-maintained. Several of the owners would have horses or perhaps even 4-H pets. Essentially all of the properties in the southeast quadrant of La Plata County are in the oil and/or gas zone. This requires increased due diligence in the purchase process as to the possible placement of well sites and especially in the analysis of existing water wells.
