Off-Grid River Ranch for Sale 20970 Forest Service Road 250 - 53 acres with house on the Alamosa River in Jasper, CO

 

20970 FDR 250, Monte Vista, CO 81144

Jasper, Colorado

$1,245,000

Introducing the most incredible property to hit the market in this part of Colorado for many years.

Here's a video including fall colors and abundant wildlife.

This comfortable 1,056-square-foot home was built in 2015 and features two bedrooms, one bathroom with laundry, a spacious kitchen, and a front porch that fulfills every mountain dream you've ever had.

The home is being sold fully furnished except for personal items, photos, and the mounted fish, so you can move right in and start enjoying your mountain paradise from day one.

This home currently collects rainwater from the roof in cisterns, but you are certainly welcome to drill a well. A home nearby has good water flow and their well is 200 feet deep. (Just for reference.)

A full septic system is in place for sanitary use, and trash service is included in the HOA dues.  

Please note:  The home itself is NOT inside the boundaries of the HOA!  Only four small lots (included in this sale) are inside the town limits and subject to HOA guidelines.  So, you get the benefits of the HOA, like trash service and a year-round caretaker, but your home, shop and 52.5 acres of river front property are outside of the HOA's influence.  SWEET! 

Solar Energy powers your lights, refrigerator, television, etc.  A large, Kohler, diesel generator is included as a backup.

Also included, is a large, bright toolshed and workshop adjacent to the home, and a 60x30 RV garage/shop roughly 100 yards from the house.

A large herd of elk can be found in the meadow across the river (your land) every spring.

This isn't really about the house, though.  What you're really after is the GORGEOUS 53 acres on the Alamosa River - You own BOTH SIDES and the river bottom underneath.  Four acres of the 53 have been set aside for building, the rest is protected through a Conservation Easement, so you will never have anyone build in the meadow across the river, and the elk will never have to leave their home.

Here is the exact location in Google Maps

Also included are four lots along the main road just above the property.  These lots are inside the Jasper HOA, so you have the benefits of the year-round caretaker and trash service.

The home and most of the acreage are not inside the HOA boundaries, so there are no covenants or building codes associated with the house or the majority of the land.  

For reference, the HOA covenants can be found HERE.

VRBO and Air B&B ARE allowed, so, if you like, you can rent the home nightly, weekly or monthly while you are away.

The parcel borders National Forest on two sides and has a fascinating mining history.  Make sure you watch the VIDEO TOUR for more info.

WATER!  Also included are 1/2 of the Senior Water Rights to the Jasper Spring.  Kerry explains about the Jasper Spring in the viral VIDEO TOUR, so make sure you check it out.

Just above the 53 acres is a beautiful, spring-fed pond.  It's on your neighbor's property, but you can see it. I'm including the photos because it's just stunning.  There are fish in there- we could see them jumping!

Below are more photos of the RV garage.  It's huge!
