264+ acres of beautiful ponderosa pine forest, meadows, rock formations, mountain
views, plentiful wildlife, well over a half a square mile of your own national forest quality ranch land.
Below, Spanish Peaks from one of my high meadows.
The Ute and Comanche Indians called these two mountains "Wahatoya",
roughly interpreted as "breasts of the earth".
|
This ranch is located within western Las Animas county Colorado, which is just north of Raton,
New Mexico. This ranch is between the Spanish Peaks and IS-25. The Sangre de Cristos are just
west of the Spanish Peaks. Elevation of this ranch is roughly 7,100', with year around access.
One of the largest herds of elk in the entire state of Colorado is located within this county
and the adjacent counties along the Sangre de Cristos & Spanish Peaks area (San Isabel National Forest).
This is prime wildlife habitat with elk, deer, bear, turkey & tufted eared squirrels residing
on this property most of the year. It could be used for either a homestead, recreational activities
or for hunting, as you choose.
Great Prepper or Retirement Property (low population & low taxes)!
County Taxes on the entire 264+ acres is less than $150/year.
This land is located with the southeastern corner of "Apishapa River Ranch" development, which is
the Nicest/Prettiest of it's type within the entire Las Animas county. The southeastern corner
of my land borders County Road 44.0 (Ludlow raad), which could be used in the future for
quicker access.
Recent paving work by Las Animas county on CR 44.0 has brought a paved road to within
3/4s a mile from my western gates on Bear Claw Pass.
I've installed about 2/3rd a mile of electric lines going from the western gates up to the
high meadow in the southeastern quadrant, where my cabin is. There is a pole with a transformer
within about 100' of the cabin and service pole within about 30' of the cabin, for a meter.
I've also had about 2/3rds a mile of a good road installed from the western entrance up to the
High Meadow near which my cabin resides.
_____________________________________________________
All this land has been Professionally Surveyed and conspicuously marked at all major
corners with a 10' 2" PVC pipe slipped over a T-Post & a steel stake in the ground
by one very competent surveyor, yielding a uniform/homogenous/consistent/integrated result.
The PVC pipe is just there to draw one's attention to the steel stake Property marker.
Minor corners may only have a steel rod driven in the ground. We have a large survey
map of all my property (3'x4'). A full survey map of all my land will be provided
to the actual Buyer of the full 264+ acres along with the deed.

When the JV developed this land back around 1990, they only provided to each tract a primitive
road to the boundary (one single point) & electricity to the boundary (normally the same point).
We've considerable improved on that very basic state: much better roads & more electricity.
On Tract 28 (northeast), we installed a long road from near the northwest corner up onto the
ridge, where most of the tract lays, providing very good accesss at our expense. We also
installed locked double gates on that new road to give this tract very good Privacy.
Excellent place on which to live, raise your own food, harvest your own energy and SURVIVE.
A well, tall windmill & a large cistern could allow you to exist off the grid with the essentials.
There is a dowsed well site very close to the prime building spot at near 7200' elevation (hill top).
There is a 2nd dowsed well site on the 360 degree view meadow, north about a quarter mile (hill top),
which could be used for watering livestock/wildlife away from the house.
We will not sign any contracts where payment is delayed.
Picture below was taken from above the meadow in the southeastern quadrant, near the highest elevaation
looking northwesterly.

Highest elevation is just over 7,200 feet above sea level (bottom of southeast quadrant, bottom right) & is the best building spot.

_____________________________________________________ All lands for sale by the most local realty office in the Apishapa River Valley or nearby have been sold out recently, as of late July, 2020. They normally have about 30-35+ listings, on average. Meaning supply of land like this is getting quite scarce. This is the beginning of long term trend as folks flee the cities & Towns in effort to survive these military grade bioweapons & the communist take down of America, collapsing the entire US/Global Financial systems, by design. To the best of my knowledge, this local realty office changed their name & relocated their operation/focus to La Veta in Huerfano county (north). I think everyone knows what scarcity does to prices, so don't delay too long, as scarcity & prices increase, due to higher demand & dwindling supply. 35 acre development ended in this area well over a decade ago (due to the engineered financial crisis of 2007-8). (See more extensive/detailed Terms for buying below ... don't miss them if serious.) We don't accept/respond-to counter "offers". Each tract or grouping of land is based on it's unique characteristics and has it's own unique valuation. There is Always cheaper land & it's usually cheaper for a reason. If that's what you want, good luck with it. We don't have any of that & hence, we have NONE to sell. This property was previously listed with the largest Rural Land Broker which operates in Colorado (and around 7-8 other states) and they researched/validated my pricing. Easy to test. Just find another piece of "developed" land this size (similar characteristics) within Colorado this nice at a lower price. You will NOT. Visiting the property is possible. I'll give you the necessary information/directions, and permission to come upon my land for "a viewing". This is NOT an opened "permission". My property is posted "NO Trespassing" for a reason. I do NOT allow free access to just anyone when ever they please. All of the Apishapa River Ranch is 100% "PRIVATE Property" and access is by "Permission ONLY". Violators will be dealt with. |

Being sold ALL together. We are not breaking this up & selling this in 5 individual tracts. 1) 264.4 acres for $1,000,000 Developed land, 5 contiguous tracts ranging from 35-100 acres each, 3/4s mile tall by 1/2 mile wide, of very Private land. All but the 2 northern tracts (originally 7 tracts), (#28 & #29, were sold in 2022). |
If you snooze, you'll could loose the chance of owning this Jewel at this price!

This picture is taken across the same meadow, which the aerial picture above was taken of.
Highest elevation is just over 7,200 feet above sea level (1.36+ miles high) & is the best building spot,
which is just behind these 2 trees in front and to the left/south of where this picture (below) was snapped.

This is my favorite building site, just within the trees, on the east side of this
meadow, with great views of the Spanish Peaks.
The Sangre de Cristos are just west of the Spanish Peaks. Late fall picture. Taken on 100ac tract.
TermsPrices are subject to change over time as the U.S. Dollar looses more value
and these prices are not encumbered with any commissions. We are not Realtors
or developers and we are NOT paying for services that we do NOT need. We have
owned this land for 31 years & are just letting the next generation have their
turn at enjoying this wonderful property. We are willing to sell this property
to any buyer on a straight Seller to Buyer deal, with NO bureaucratic middle men
of any kind. If you are not capable of doing that, then just keep looking ...
This is exactly the way that we bought this property 30+ years ago, and this is
exactly how we are going to sell it this time.
Terms are a straight Cash deal to the Seller. We are NOT a bank.
That is what we will do & here is what we will NOT do: deal with any realtor (period!),
sign or use any CO state RE contracts, Period ,
as either of these by their nature gives the CO State the Dominate role in any deal, but
where they have NO ownership & NOTHING invested. We are NOT residents of Colorado, and
am NOT under the control of this state. This is exactly the way that we bought this property
30+ years ago. If that works for you, please contact us if interested.
Seller will NOT agree to an "offer to buy" based on ANY extended/delayed closing date,
including waiting for some Bank loan (taking weeks) or for any other reason.
______________________________________________________________
**************************************************
Anyone OBLIVIOUS enough to ignore those 2 paragraphs, just needs to keep looking
for their property, as anyone that inflicts a dumb/incompetent/statist realtor on us
will be quickly/completely IGNORED! Don't waste your/our time!
**************************************************
______________________________________________________________
We will acquire/deliver a Title Abstract of the property (only if required), but we will
deliver a Warranty Deed to the buyer so that they can personally have it recorded at the
county seat. If it gets lost in the mail (going in either direction), we'll provide another one.
Seller is expecting a closing date of just a couple of weeks, enough time to get a contract
worked out, signed, payment made, and a Warrantee Deed delivered. Straight forward/simple.
_____________________________________________________
Chain of Title for my land for the past 65 years or so is:
- We have owned this land for the past 35 years give or take "1" year (acquired 1990-1992).
- Before that, a Joint Venture acquired this as raw land (1988) and developed it and
sold it off in tracts, mostly around 35-40 acres with a few nearing or at 100 acres.
All land within the "Apishapa River Ranch" were initially sold by early 1993.
- Prior to that, an investment company bought this land as an "estate" cattle
ranch and then sold it to the Joint Venture relatively soon thereafter (1988).
- Before that, it was owned/ranched by "Pete Cusimano" for perhaps 25-30 years or so,
late 1950s or early 1960s through mid 1980s.

Call for the current prices, as the prices will vary due to the failing value of either, the
U.S.Dollar, as indicated by either: the rise in the value of Gold/silver compared to the declining
fiat U.S.Debt-Dollar, which has already lost a significant % in 2020, or the inability to acquire
precious metals due to their massive price rigging via naked shorts &/or derivatives. The
Official US Dollar Index & the precious metals markets are already way too Rigged to be dependable,
via the phony Biden Crime Syndicate, FED/Wall Street banks, not unlike what has been going
on now for the past five+ Decades ... just a bit worse now & much more obvious.
Expect prices to change at least weekly at those times when the US Dollar destruction
is underway &/or accelerating, expected now, as soon as 2025.
Silver is already near unobtainable in any large quantity. Gold is beginning to follow suit.
264+ acres qualifies one to apply for one private-land buck tags per year.
Sale is for the surface rights only, as the Seller does not own any mineral rights.
There are a set of Restrictive Covenants(RCs), which were created to help each owner
protect their own rights & that of their investment, however there is NO official
Home Owners Association. Hence, there are NO legally required dues or fees.
Enforcement of the RCs is by each owner only and any owner can enforce them should
the situation arise. (We did not originate these RCs. The developer did in 1988.)
FYI: Over the past 31 years, this has never been needed/done, to the best of my knowledge.
[Mobilhomes are not allowed & travel trailers are only allowed under temporary conditions.
Dirtbike (motorcycles) are strictly NOT allowed, as Colorado is a very delicate environment
and dirt bikes are very damaging & this environment does not heal within decades.]
FYI: an ad hoc group is leasing out this property to keep the taxes low based on
agricultural use. Anyone can fence off their property entirely or in part (house).
My land is fenced on the East & South sides and has about one thousand foot of
fence on the western side, just north/south of where Bear Claw Pass enters Tract 22.
See map below: Bear Claw Pass is where it has "Entrance" on the left side and T-22
is the 57.8 acre tract on the lower left part of the detailed layout map(below).
For those of you that do not know that they put in a bunch of natural gas
wells all along the front range of the Rockies from New Mexico to Montana,
from about 1994-2008. They only expected them to last about 15+ years and the
production was not as good as they hoped. 2008 + 15 = 2023.
Once they put in a lot of wells about 2005-2007 or so, they over supplied the
market and the price per unit dropped from about $10 to about $3+. It's less now,
(around $4.25) so while they are making some money (perhaps), they are running skeleton crews
and ownership has changed. Update: due to engineered Oil shortage by the NWOrder,
May 2022, NGas went up to near $7-$8/unit, which I would expect to continue occasionally.
until the NWOrder control of the US is diminished, & oil is once again allowed to be produced,
and/or traded Freely, instead of the price being rigged with derivatives.
Still quite a bit below $10/unit.
There are 6 Ngas wells in this section and 2 wells on my 264+ acres.
The well in the center of my property has an electric motor, which they all could have
if you pressed them to do that, as there is electricity close by. They will not do this
unless pressed.
Their rights to extract the NGas does NOT override your Right to the Quite/Peaceful
enjoyment of your property.
I'm expecting them to completely shutdown in a few years, but in the mean time,
they help to maintain the roads at their expense, which they signficantly improved when
these wells were first put in.
PNR put in these wells in 2007-8 and now Evergreen owns/operates them. We had PNR agree
to electrify the 2 wells on my place including T-28 that were not already with electric
motors (quiet), but I had a wreck and could not get up to CO to work out a route to put
in the electric lines, so it didn't happen. That was in 2013. I didn't want to just let
the Electric Company to just put them where they wanted (as they don't care what the land
looks like afterwards, but I do). I personally cut all the trees on the line I ran up near my
cabin (southeast), back in 1993 over the Thanksgiving weekend, 2/3rd a mile in three days.

Electric line as it crosses the "rabbit foot" meadow going to my cabin, which is within 100
yards of this meadow.
Hope ALL that information is helpful.
