A full quarter-section in Colorado's San Luis Valley: 160 contiguous acres, dead level (0.7% average slope, elev. ~7,550 ft), corners marked, with electricity already run to the lot line and year-round access on County Road 59, a county-maintained public road. Outside the flood zone. New well to be drilled at the buyer's preferred location — or a discount for cash offers.
The south boundary adjoins BLM. Beyond it lies the Mishak Lakes State Trust Land hunting and fishing access — 2,567 acres of public ground no one will ever build on. Your views are permanent: Sangre de Cristos east, San Juans west, GMU 682 all around. Bortle Class 2 dark skies.
Live water on site: a free-flowing artesian well feeding a small pond and stream — natural, most likely built in the early 1900s, no permit on record. A permit will be filed for the buyer on request, for the existing source or the new drilled well. With power at the line, a septic system (est. ~$25K) is the main improvement left before you build. No HOA, no covenants, subdividable, suitable for grazing. Taxes just $652.56/yr.

Structured as a contract for deed through a licensed escrow company: you take possession at closing, and the executed deed is held in escrow and released to you at payoff. A short bridge for buyers with a clear exit.
