Description
Tucked away at the end of a quiet road in the scenic Prospect Canyon Ranch, this exceptional property offers a rare combination of privacy, dramatic views, and mountain charm—just minutes from Trinidad and full amenities. Heavily wooded with mature piñon, juniper, and other evergreens, this parcel feels worlds away while still offering quick access to I-25 and the renowned Highway 12 Scenic Byway.
From the property’s elevated ridgeline, you’ll enjoy absolutely jaw-dropping panoramic views of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, Spanish Peaks, Fisher’s Peak, Trinidad Lake, the city of Trinidad, and even distant peaks in northern New Mexico. A peak-top building site has already been excavated, offering an ideal perch for a future home or cabin. A roughed-in driveway leads to this prime location, and a ready-to-use RV pad with multiple electrical hookups makes it easy to enjoy the property from day one.
Power has been extended to a private, secluded building site nestled among the trees, offering stunning valley views and incredible morning sunrises. This outdoor enthusiast’s paradise in Colorado Game Management Unit 85 has abundant wildlife, including mule deer, elk, mountain lion, turkey, and more frequenting the area. Venture out into the limitless nearby public lands for great hunting opportunities.
Nearby attractions include Trinidad Lake, Fisher’s Peak State Park, Monument Lake, North Lake, the Purgatoire River, Spanish Peaks State Wildlife Area, and the Spanish Peaks Wilderness. Plus, you’ll find access to hundreds of thousands of acres of National Forest and BLM lands nearby for hiking, hunting, fishing, ATV riding, horseback adventures, and endless exploration.
Most residents haul or have water delivered affordably, though area well depths range from 300 to 600 feet. The community allows you to build without many restrictions—no mobile homes, but otherwise, your dream cabin, mountain home, or retreat is welcome. Road access is well-maintained and has a modest annual fee.
Whether you’re looking to build your forever home or seeking a peaceful basecamp for your weekend getaways, this property checks all the boxes: privacy, views, wildlife, access, and ready-to-use infrastructure, just minutes from vibrant downtown Trinidad.
