If you’ve been looking for just the right land in Colorado, have we got a parcel for you. This 10-acre lot in the Top of the World subdivision has mountain views you literally can’t escape. But you definitely CAN escape the rat race when you get into the great outdoors on your own private slice of paradise.
If you enjoy boating, fishing, birding, and hunting, they are all less than few miles away at the refreshing Smith Reservoir. You’ll be 12 miles from the Rio Grande, and about 5 miles Northwest of the historic town of Fort Garland, home of the famous fort that was the last command of Kit Carson.
You’ll get big sky country and the Old West, all for one super low price. Investing in land is a great chance to enjoy long-term growth, and you know the old saying:
Buy land. They’re not making any more of it.
Top of the World
Right on the doorstep of the Sangre de Cristo mountains, the Top of the World subdivision certainly earns its name. The views of snow-capped mountaintops are priceless, as are the sunny days (285 days a year) and starry night skies.
Top of the World offers rural peace and solitude combined with the convenience of an ideal location in the historic San Luis Valley. Located between the towns of Fort Garland and San Luis, you will be near National Parks and Forests for hiking and biking, sparkling reservoirs for top quality fishing and boating, and herds of deer, elk, and antelope grazing in the fields.
This area offers something for everyone. Whether you choose it for your own private recreational retreat, as a place to build your next home, or just as a way to secure land of your own in the great outdoors, you will find what you’re looking for at Top of the World.
