Description
Perched high along a scenic ridge just outside Trinidad in southern Colorado, this remarkable 40-acre property offers an exceptional combination of privacy, mountain views, quality improvements, and year-round recreational opportunities. Although it carries a Boncarbo address, the property is conveniently located just a short drive from Trinidad while feeling worlds away from the hustle of town.
Access begins through a gated entrance off County Road 51, with a well-maintained road leading nearly to the end of the road system. With virtually no through traffic, you'll enjoy the peace and quiet that makes this area so desirable for weekend retreats, full-time living, or an income-producing mountain getaway.
The highlight of the property is a thoughtfully constructed container cabin with a professionally built addition that provides comfortable accommodations while embracing the rugged beauty of southern Colorado. The cabin features a rooftop deck, allowing you to soak in breathtaking panoramic views that stretch for miles in every direction. From sunrise to sunset, you'll enjoy commanding views of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, the Spanish Peaks, Fisher's Peak, and countless rolling ridges throughout Las Animas County.
Designed with practicality in mind, the property includes a hauled water system and generator power, creating a comfortable off-grid setup without sacrificing convenience. A storage shed, fenced yard area, and additional outdoor space make it easy to store equipment, accommodate pets, or simply enjoy the surrounding landscape.
The land itself is equally impressive. Unlike many nearby parcels, this property features heavier tree cover combined with rolling terrain, draws, rock outcroppings, and significant elevation changes that create privacy, character, and excellent wildlife habitat. Whether you're hiking your own land, exploring the ridges, or simply enjoying the scenery from the deck, every part of the property offers something unique.
Wildlife is abundant throughout the area, with frequent sightings of elk, mule deer, black bear, turkey, and numerous smaller game species. The surrounding region is well known for its outstanding hunting and recreational opportunities, making this property an excellent basecamp for outdoor enthusiasts.
For those seeking adventure beyond the property boundaries, the location provides convenient access to many of southern Colorado's most popular destinations. Spend the day exploring Trinidad Lake State Park, hiking or mountain biking at Fishers Peak State Park, enjoying the shops and restaurants of historic downtown Trinidad, or venturing into the nearby San Isabel National Forest for endless miles of public land recreation. The area also offers excellent opportunities for fishing, boating, ATV riding, horseback riding, and scenic drives throughout the Sangre de Cristo Mountains.
Whether you're searching for a private recreational retreat, hunting property, weekend escape, vacation rental opportunity, or a unique mountain residence, this property delivers incredible value. Finding 40 acres with this level of infrastructure, privacy, mountain views, and quality improvements at this price point is becoming increasingly difficult in southern Colorado.
If you've been waiting for an affordable Colorado mountain property that's ready to enjoy from day one, this Boncarbo retreat deserves a closer look.
