$100,000 PRICE REDUCTION!! The Notch. This historic and rare offering is not to be missed. The 30 acres bordering BLM land is the epitome of pristine privacy with expansive views of the Animas and Turtle Lake Valleys; and the surrounding outcroppings of the red and white cliffs. The property has been compared to Jurassic Park with abundant wildlife and lush foliage; springs and seasonal creek- an unspoiled piece of Colorado. There is a world-class building site that sits in the saddle overlooking the Animas Valley with views of Hermosa, the Needles, and beyond. The owner/builder knows the property better than anyone and could build-to-suit. This site commands a trophy house with the driveway and utilities to the home site installed, the well is in place, and the Class I Permit (allowing 2 homesites) has been issued by La Plata County.

The home is welcoming and cozy with a sizable deck that is an excellent place to entertain or relax and enjoy this incredible setting. There is a yurt with fireplace that is great for guests, yoga studio, or whatever flex space you may need. The 4-car detached garage/workshop will house all of your vehicles and toys with in-floor heat, bathroom, and engineered for a 2nd story (home office, man cave, etc).
