This exclusive 35-acre Rocky Mountain Ranch located only 5 miles from town boasts one of the best locations in all of Santa Fe Trail Ranch, providing scenic mountain-top views of Fisher's Peak and the Raton Mesa as well as great interior views of the mature forests comprised of cedars, ponderosas and pinion trees. This property has electric, phone and city water ready to tap into, as well as the ranch's own fire protection. Perched at the top of the mountain at the intersection of one of the major roads in the Santa Fe Trail Ranch area provides easy access all year long. Having two other roads front this property, numerous building sites, and the truly lovely forest and mountain views makes this property a unique find. As you drive up Cottonwood Canyon, the property begins ½ mile before approaching Owen Baldwin Parkway then follows it to the corner of Westwood Drive and turns along Westwood Drive, going as far as the white PVC piping. This road access from three different sides enables greater accessibility to multiple building sites depending upon your desired views. For the biggest views walk the section of property closest to Owen Baldwin Parkway. Stay on top and walk the south edge of the bench to also find the best building sites. Santa Fe Trails Ranch is located 10-20 minutes from downtown historic Trinidad, Colorado, between Denver and Santa Fe (just north of the New Mexico border and Raton Pass). Trinidad was a stop on the Santa Fe Trail and home to trappers, traders and early ranchers in the 1800s. It is also the starting point for the Scenic Highway of Legends, (Highway 12) area west of Trinidad, which is abundant with lakes and streams. The Purgatoire River runs right through Trinidad and is stocked with Trout. Trinidad Lake State Park offers camping, fishing and other outdoor activities, as does the Comanche National Grassland to the east. Or, you may enjoy hiking Fisher's Peak. For golfers, Avid Golfer magazine rates the historic Trinidad golf course as one of the ten hidden gems in the country.
