Located just off Left Hand Fork Road, the property sits at an elevation of a little over 8,000 feet and is part of the North Fork properties near Weston. The landscape includes heavily wooded ridges of mature ponderosa pine, stands of oak brush, and pockets of hardwoods along a seasonal waterway.

Large rock outcroppings and dramatic formations add visual interest and unique character across the acreage. Wildlife is abundant, with opportunities to observe or pursue species including elk, mule deer, turkey, bear, and other native game. The property is situated near the North Fork Purgatoire River and Guajatoyah Creek, which contribute to the strong wildlife presence and recreational appeal of the area.

The property offers both usable and varied terrain, making it well suited for multiple uses. Flat, buildable ground is found along the upper portion, while ridges and elevation changes add diversity. A maintained driveway leads to the top of the property, providing reliable access to attractive potential building sites tucked among the timber. These locations offer both privacy and views, with power located approximately one-third of a mile away from the upper building areas. A natural gas wellhead on the property ensures that the driveway is maintained for access, adding utility without impacting the recreational value of the land. At this size and location, the acreage provides a strong opportunity for a future cabin, recreational getaway, or year-round residence. The combination of meadows, timber, water influence, and rock features gives it both functional and aesthetic value. Its proximity to nearby communities, major recreation areas, and utility access further enhances its usability while still providing the sense of seclusion that mountain landowners often seek. The nearby town of Weston lies just a short drive to the southeast, while Trinidad is located approximately 30 miles to the east, offering full services including groceries, dining, medical care, and interstate access. The city of Walsenburg is about 65 miles north, and Pueblo can be reached in roughly 110 miles.

Whether the goal is hunting, wildlife viewing, camping, or establishing a mountain retreat, this Las Animas County acreage offers a versatile setting with a variety of natural features and proximity to both private enjoyment and public land opportunities.
