Description
Escape to the quiet beauty of southern Colorado with this exceptional 75.48-acre property in beautiful and secluded San Juan Mesa Ranch, located just north of Segundo and only a short drive west of Trinidad. Offering outstanding privacy, excellent access, and breathtaking mountain scenery, this property is an ideal destination for recreation, camping, hunting, or building your future mountain getaway.
From the moment you enter through the gated ranch entrance, you'll appreciate the peaceful setting and well-maintained road system leading directly to the property. A roughed-in driveway and entrance gate provide immediate access, while an elevated building or camping site on the western side of the property captures sweeping panoramic views that stretch across the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, Fisher's Peak, and the iconic Spanish Peaks. Whether you're enjoying your morning coffee or watching an evening sunset, the scenery is nothing short of spectacular.
The landscape offers tremendous diversity across the entire property. Moderate tree coverage provides privacy and wildlife habitat while leaving plenty of open space to enjoy the mountain views. Piñon pine, Gambel oak, scattered cottonwoods, and native grasses create a classic southern Colorado landscape that changes beautifully throughout the seasons.
Flowing through the center of the property is a picturesque wet weather spring and arroyo, adding both character and valuable wildlife habitat. The terrain transitions into an impressive rocky outcropping ridge with dramatic elevation changes, offering outstanding hiking, photography opportunities, and countless locations to explore. Large open meadows blend seamlessly with timbered hillsides, making the property feel much larger than its 75.48 acres.
On the eastern portion of the property sits a small dry cabin overlooking a spacious grassy meadow. The cabin provides an excellent base camp for weekend adventures, hunting trips, or camping while you plan future improvements. Its location offers both privacy and beautiful views across the surrounding landscape.
Wildlife is abundant throughout the area. Elk, mule deer, wild turkey, black bear, and numerous small game species are frequently seen on and around the property. Located within Colorado GMU 85, the ranch offers outstanding recreational opportunities and serves as an excellent home base for hunters and outdoor enthusiasts alike.
One of the property's greatest advantages is its proximity to thousands of acres of nearby public lands and outdoor recreation. The surrounding region offers endless opportunities for hiking, fishing, boating, hunting, wildlife viewing, and exploring.
