1729 & 1730 Willow Creek Ol LOT 1729, 1730, Crestone, CO 81131

Rare opportunity in one of the remotest parts of the Baca Grande, peering down from on high and adjacent to the east to acres and acres of unspoiled nature. Each lot is about 1/2 acre, and can be used to develop up to two primary homes. The lots are located in desirable Chalet I, in a quieter, less developed area, a short distance south of town and community parks. This land is both remote, but accessible to paved road (about 1/3 mile) and town (about 2.5 miles). The lots rise high above the cul de sac, giving a further impression of seclusion and peace, in a grove of piñon and juniper trees at the base of the Sangre de Cristo, offering expansive views overlooking the San Luis Valley. The nearest home is 4 lots away and not visible. Directly adjacent, and all the way to Willow Creek is community greenbelt that connects to trails and National Forest lands. Also above is wild private foundation land generally protected from development, and the lands of Mangala Shri Bhuti, the Tibetan spiritual community, and the location of the Longchen Jigme Samten Ling retreat center (very quiet and minimalist), and the Sangdo Palri Temple, a remote and spectacular structure built in the traditional Tibetan style, and with limited public access. Electricity and wired phone are available to the lot line. Water and sewer tap fees are not paid; an extension of the system is required to deliver water and sewer service to the lots. Contact the Baca Grande Water & Sanitation District for information on process and costs. Internet service varies by location and is available via Ciello (line-of-sight), Consolidated Communications (wired telephone), and various satellite internet providers. The Town of Crestone offers gas, restaurants, groceries, a post office, a credit union, and a hardware store. Crestone offers world-class hiking and stargazing and was recently designated an International Dark Sky Community. Please call the listing agent about appropriate use of this extraordinary land!
