Located in the foothills of the Sangre De Cristo Mountains. Spanish Oaks Ranch has diverse vegetation consisting of large mature Juniper, Pinion Pine Trees, and Gambel Oak. Great habitat to conceal and give shelter to all the large trophy Bulls, Bucks, and Bruins this region is known for. There are also stands of large Ponderosa Pines in the canyon on the North Slopes of the property. Two side canyons, and one main canyon with large gradual mesa tops. There is a nice retention pond that holds water all the way into the fall season, it is sheltered by trees, and the north slope of a canyon hill from direct sunlight. The main canyon has a seasonal creek that holds runoff water in some of the rocky drops and crags. Cell phone service and 4G wireless internet is strong from the cabin. From the cabin there are panoramic views of the Spanish Peaks and Greenhorn Peak to the North in the distance.

Improvements

The brand new fully furnished manufactured home (cabin) has a large covered deck. This cabin sleeps 3 people comfortably. Included in the sale is an Off-Grid propane powered generator for electricity. You will need to lease a propane tank if you want to get the cabin powered up. The owner will furnish a quote from a local contractor for a septic system, and cistern, which is priced reasonably. This would be a wonderful place to spend the summer, hunting season, or a place to live year round. The home is heated by a propane powered forced air furnace, and it is equipped with a on board air conditioner. The large wrap around driveway has been cleared and leveled, and has ample room for vehicles/toys or a future garage/shop. There is a new gate, and some fencing on the SE side of the property.

Which leads to lower traffic and use on the surrounding properties. This property is NOT a part of Fisher Peak Ranch, but you do have to drive though it to get here. That Ranch has a Road Association, and they do road maintenance when required. Fisher Peak Ranch subdivision is gated. You will need to get a updated monthly gate code to enter this property through Fisher Peak Ranch for access.
