High above the Cuchara Valley at approximately 11,500 feet, this 35.11± acre property in Timber Ridge at Cordova Pass offers a setting that is increasingly difficult to find in southern Colorado. Located near the base of West Spanish Peak and positioned at the end of Timber Ridge Trail, the property combines exceptional mountain views, privacy, mature timber, open alpine meadows and several recent improvements that make it ready to enjoy.

The views are one of the defining features of the property. From the elevated portions of the land, the Sangre de Cristo Mountains stretch across the western horizon, with long-distance views extending across the valleys and mountain country of southern Colorado and into northern New Mexico. Fisher's Peak can also be seen in the distance above Trinidad. At this elevation, the surrounding landscape feels expansive and remote, while the towering spruce and pine provide a classic high-country setting.

The current owner has made several meaningful improvements to the property. Road base has been added to the private driveway, providing access to two rocked and improved pads that can serve as camping or future building locations. A private entry gate has also been installed at the property.

Electrical infrastructure is already in place with a 200-amp electrical service, along with two 50-amp camper hookups and a 110-volt outlet. This provides an immediate option for bringing a camper or RV to the property during the accessible months without relying solely on generators or temporary power.

A 250-gallon water tank is also included for hauling and storing water as needed. For someone considering a future cabin or seasonal residence, wells in the surrounding area have reportedly been completed at relatively shallow depths, with some reported around 100 feet. Well depth, availability and permitting should be independently verified for this specific parcel.

The terrain offers a combination of heavily wooded ridges and open mountain meadow. Mature spruce, pine and other subalpine vegetation provide substantial cover, while the meadow opens the property to sunlight and long-range views. Wildflowers and native mountain grasses fill the open areas during the warmer months. Elk, deer, black bear, turkey and other wildlife are regularly found throughout this portion of the Spanish Peaks country.

Timber Ridge at Cordova Pass is a small, gated mountain community consisting of only 15 parcels. The community gate adds another layer of privacy and security, and relatively few parcels have been developed. Lot 8's end-of-the-road location further separates it from through traffic and adds to the secluded character of the property.

Access to this high-elevation setting is part of what makes the property unique. Cordova Pass Road provides a scenic route through the mountains between Colorado Highway 12 near Cuchara Pass and the country east toward County Road 46, Gulnare and Aguilar. The route crosses the high country near the foot of the Spanish Peaks and travels through San Isabel National Forest. Cordova Pass itself reaches approximately 11,248 feet and forms part of the Highway of Legends scenic route.

Because of the elevation and significant winter snowfall, Cordova Pass Road is seasonal. The high-country portion of the road closes during winter and typically becomes accessible again in late May or early June, depending on snowpack and road conditions. This should be considered a seasonal-access property rather than a conventional year-round homesite.

That seasonal nature is also part of its appeal. During the warmer months, the property provides an escape from the heat of the lower elevations, with cool mountain temperatures, quiet surroundings and immediate access to some of southern Colorado's most impressive high-country scenery and recreation.

The surrounding Spanish Peaks region offers extensive opportunities for hiking, hunting, fishing, camping, wildlife viewing and exploring public lands. The Cordova Pass area provides access to trails near the Spanish Peaks Wilderness and San Isabel National Forest, while Highway 12 connects the property with Cuchara, La Veta, Monument Lake, North Lake, Stonewall and Trinidad.

Whether used as a private summer base camp, seasonal RV property, recreational getaway or the site of a future mountain cabin, much of the initial infrastructure work has already been completed. With power in place, two camper hookups, improved driveway and pads, a private gate and water storage, a new owner can begin enjoying the property while considering longer-term plans.

At 11,500 feet, there are few places where the Sangre de Cristo Mountains feel this close and the surrounding country feels this removed from everyday life. Timber Ridge at Cordova Pass offers 35.11± acres of high-country seclusion with substantial improvements already in place and views that extend across some of the most recognizable mountain country in southern Colorado. **Check back soon for updated photos of the improvements**
