Description
If you've been searching for a property that offers privacy, scenic beauty, and a head start on future improvements, this 70.22-acre parcel just outside Trinidad, Colorado, deserves your attention. Conveniently located off County Road 57.7, the property feels far removed from the crowds while remaining just a short drive from town and Interstate 25.
The land has been enjoyed as a recreational getaway for years and is already set up for camping with several improvements in place. A basic driveway leads to an established RV site complete with electrical hookup, making it easy to begin enjoying the property immediately while planning your future cabin or home. An older Quonset-style storage building provides secure space for equipment, ATVs, tools, and camping gear.
The landscape is one of the property's strongest features. Rolling meadows are scattered throughout the acreage, separated by pockets of mature piñon pine, Gambel oak, cedar, and native grasses. A prominent ridge runs along the eastern boundary, adding elevation, privacy, and outstanding viewpoints across the surrounding countryside. From many locations on the property, you'll enjoy expansive views of the Spanish Peaks and the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, making nearly every part of the property feel like a potential homesite.
Several excellent building locations are available, offering privacy, mountain views, and easy access to existing improvements. Whether you're planning an off-grid cabin, a custom mountain home, or simply want a place to escape on weekends, the property provides a solid foundation for future development.
Adding to the appeal is a seasonal drainage located immediately west of the property. While not located on the parcel itself, this valley typically carries water through much of the year and contributes to the area's healthy wildlife habitat and scenic character.
Wildlife is abundant throughout the property and surrounding area. Located in GMU 85, the area is well known for elk, mule deer, black bear, turkey, and numerous small game species. Whether you enjoy hunting, wildlife photography, or simply watching animals from camp, the property offers frequent opportunities to experience Colorado's outdoors.
Two wells are present on the property, although their current condition is unknown. One well is located near the main entrance and is believed to be non-operational. A second well is located near the Quonset building, but its status has not been verified. Buyers should conduct their own inspections regarding both wells.
Beyond the property, you'll find no shortage of recreation. Trinidad Lake State Park offers boating, fishing, paddleboarding, and camping. Fishers Peak State Park provides miles of hiking and wildlife viewing on Colorado's newest state park. The nearby San Isabel National Forest and Spanish Peaks Wilderness offer public land access for hunting, hiking, horseback riding, and ATV adventures, while downtown Trinidad features restaurants, shopping, and year-round community events.
Whether you're looking for a recreational basecamp, future homesite, hunting property, or a quiet place to spend weekends with family and friends, this 70.22± acre property offers excellent access, existing improvements, beautiful mountain views, and the privacy that many buyers are searching for.
