The moment you step onto this expansive 10-acre lot, you're greeted by the smell of fresh mountain sage, cool, crisp air and a sense of being completely embraced by panoramic mountain ranges. Snowcapped peaks dot the horizon while the rich forests of the Tarryall range frame the view to the east. A dotting of ancient bristle cone trees crowns the summit of the land with a seasonal creek carving through the hillside and welcoming wildlife of all varieties. Campers, homesites in the far distance are the only indications of civilization to remind you that although it feels miles away, it's a short drive to the Towns of Hartsel, Fairplay and Jefferson.
