Description
This 36.01 +/- acre parcel in Las Animas County offers a quiet and functional setting for recreational use, grazing, and future planning. Located near the small community of Model, the property lies just off Highway 350, which connects Trinidad and La Junta. Although rural and secluded, the land remains approximately 50 minutes from both towns, providing access to groceries, fuel, medical services, and general amenities.
The acreage includes two small seasonal ponds that help attract wildlife and may supply supplementary water for livestock during wetter periods. A seasonal creek also runs through an arroyo on the property, contributing to a landscape shaped by natural drainage patterns. The land slopes from both the north and south toward a central low area near the Poitrey Arroyo, forming a natural drainage pattern that supports wildlife movement.
Located off of County Road 88, the property offers approximately 14 +/- acres of buildable ground with practical access, and the more open terrain near the road allows for straightforward entry to this primary area. The parcel is entirely off-grid, with no existing utilities, and water wells in this region commonly range from 300 to 400 feet deep. Buyers may consider solar power, water development, and other off-grid infrastructure suited to their intended uses. The remainder of the 36.01 +/- acres includes rolling slopes, open ground, and arroyo features typical of the high plains landscape.
Vegetation across the parcel includes piñon and juniper trees, native tree cholla, eastern prickly pear cactus, and grass varieties typical of the southeastern Colorado plains. These habitat features support pronghorn antelope, mule deer, rabbits, and coyotes, all of which commonly frequent the property. Elk also move through the larger area on occasion.
The parcel sits near the Comanche National Grassland, a significant public land destination offering hiking, horseback riding, biking, and seasonal hunting opportunities. The Grassland is home to mule deer, whitetail deer, pronghorn, elk, scaled quail, cottontail rabbits, coyotes, and foxes. The proximity to Comanche National Grassland provides convenient access to outdoor activities that are not available in other areas of southeastern Colorado.
For those seeking acreage in a rural area with natural features, wildlife presence, and balanced proximity to two regional communities, these 36.01 +/- acres offer a practical base for recreation, livestock use, or off-grid planning. The location provides a blend of seclusion and access without restricting future development options.
