BUILDABLE LOT in the Alpine Village area of South Fork, CO! Build your dream vacation home or year round ranch in the quiet part of Colorado! SELLER FINANCING AVAILABLE!! This is a very cool area of mainly empty lots and a few people who have scraped enough lots together to build year round or vacation homes. This means there is plenty of nature and forest around – enough that both times Ive been there, Ive seen mule deer within 20 feet of the car. Perched on a hill overlooking the Rio Grande River, you have unobstructed panoramic views to from the north west to the south south west overlooking South Fork, Sentinel Peak, Beaver Mountain, and Del Norte Peak. To the north of Alpine is Rio Grand National Forest – plenty of room to get lost for several life times. Alpine CO was a heavily subdivided area with each parcel being too small to obtain building permits until you have at least 4 contiguous lots. Many people have managed over the years as you can see a very loosely built area on Google Maps – now you can be one of them too! This .74 acre / 32,286 sq ft lot consists of 5 ‘units’ running north – south on the west side of the Cactus Rd easement. The official address is 107 Cactus Road. No current utilities or wells present on the property. Getting to Alpine you have several options if you don’t plan on living there full time. Only 55 minutes from Pagosa Springs Airport (Best airport I have flown into!) or 3.5 hours from Colorado Springs or slightly less from Sante Fe. About 10 minutes to South Fork, 30 minutes or so to Wolf Creek ski area – one of the best in the area and not too crowded like northing CO. Del Norte is about 30 minutes to the east. After getting off of County Rd 15, it’s a hard pack road that is suitable with most vehicles in dry conditions. With a rental sedan I was able to get to the rock pile at the end of Shirely Rd about 475 feet from the start of the lot. - Seller's Notes I have a cool story about these lots starting in 1970 when my grandfather bought a few from a dare with a coworker. Its been a two lifetime journeys to purchase other lots to combine them for a buildable lot. My vision was to disturb as little of the area as possible and dig a walk out basement viewing the southwest and bringing the exfill to level with the top of the foundation and then build a small two story house with tons of windows on top. This would give you three livable floors while still keeping the foundation / site prep work low to save costs and blend more in with the surroundings. The surrounding environment would suit a vacation home well as you don’t have to worry about cutting the grass, beating back overgrowth, or hurricanes! “Why sell it then?” – I simply have too many real estate projects for one guy to manage. I am on the east coast and though this is still a dream to have a mountain house, I am not in the spot to bring it forward yet. I have other lots that I am still trying to piece together so by the time that happens, I should be in a better spot. ************* Happy to work with buyer agents and commissions. Seller financing available with flexible terms.
