LOT 2:  HAS HOUSE - $950,000 
Looking for a Colorado home with acreage? You may have just found it. This under-construction 3 bed/2 full bath log home on 35.5 acres is available now for purchase. The home sits over a large walk-out basement - which includes the two-bay garage and plenty of additional space to accommodate several non-conforming (without windows) bedrooms and an entertainment/family space. The main level is surrounded by wrap-around deck that was constructed with weather-resistant composite decking. Stunning views envelop the property. Inside on the main level is the family room, kitchen with custom Knotty Alder cabinets, two comfortable bedrooms, and a full bathroom with jetted tub. Take the handcrafted staircase to the second-floor loft and through to door to the spacious master suite with full bath with walk-in shower. This home is unfinished. The exterior is approximately 90% complete, lacking some trim around doorways and windows and exterior staining of the logs and decks. The exterior walls have been insulated with spray-foam insulation and the rough-in for plumbing, electrical and heating is complete. The project includes a stack of interior doors, a large amount of drywall, tongue and groove wood for the interior finishing of the great room, and more. There are no appliances or flooring on site yet, so you get to choose your finishes! Rito Hondo is a beautiful, gated community, that offers buildable lots, and breathtaking views. This property/Rito Hondo is located southeast of Antonito, Colorado and near the New Mexico state line. To clarify, there are three conforming bedrooms in the home at present. The basement has several rooms which could be used as bedrooms, they simply do not have a window, and therefore are not allowed to be considered true bedrooms. There is also additional sleeping space in the upstairs loft.

Lot 11 (Pocket listing - not necessarily for sale)
Lot 11 is 35 acres and borders National Forest to the West and to the South.  This lot doesn't look like much from the road, but once you get back about 100 feet, it is spectacular.  Easy to build, there are several meadows that feel a world away - yet have easy access to the road.  This lot is very private and I found many elk tracks through it.  Tall ponderosa pine, some aspen, and many spruce make this lot a favorite!

The towns of South Fork, Del Norte, and Creede are located along the Rio Grande River in the San Luis Valley in Southern Colorado.  These gorgeous mountain towns are close to hiking, mountain biking, ATV and Jeep trails, snowmobile trails, and Wolf Creek Ski Area.  Located roughly halfway between the Great Sand Dunes National Park and Mesa Verde National Park, this area of Southern Colorado gets roughly 315 days of sunshine per year and is PERFECT for off-grid solar living.  Are you looking for a getaway to camp in your RV?  We do have lots/land that are perfect for this.  Are you looking for a bug-out property to get away from it all?  We have both homes and land available that may fit your needs.  Most neighborhoods have either wired high-speed fiber internet or great views of the southern sky for internet services such as Skylink.

It's crazy to think about, but South Fork is on the same latitude as Northern Africa along the coast of the Mediterranean Sea.  I'm SERIOUS.  It's our altitude of 8,200 feet above sea level, not our latitude that allows for such incredible winters with champagne powder and gorgeous, sunny blue skies.

It's a place like no other.  These small Colorado mountain towns still have the affordable homes and land you are looking for without all of the touristy expense and hubbub of other Colorado towns.
