🌄 Land Features | Usable, Scenic, and Ready for Your Vision

This property is very gently sloped with native green grasses and expansive views of the surrounding mountains. The terrain makes it easy to plan your build, whether you're dreaming of a seasonal getaway or a full-time residence.

  • 17 acres in a gated community
  • Gently sloped, easy-to-build terrain
  • Native grasses and open usable space
  • Panoramic mountain views
  • Multiple potential building sites
  • Electricity, High-Speed fiber internet, and landline phone at the lot line.
  • This lot has good 4G cell service, too!

It’s the kind of property where you can immediately picture your future home—morning coffee on the deck, wide-open skies, and quiet mountain living.

📍 Premier Location Within Bear Creek

Positioned as the first property on the right as you enter the gate, this lot holds a uniquely prestigious and highly visible location within the neighborhood.

Accessibility is excellent year-round, and being at the front of the subdivision adds both convenience and a strong sense of arrival.

You can find all of the building requirements and Bear Creek Community Covenants on the Bear Creek POA website.


🌊 Walk to the Rio Grande River


Just outside the gate—literally steps from your property—you’ll find access to a 20-acre community open space along the Rio Grande River.

In about a 5-minute walk, you can be:

  • Fishing in gold medal trout waters
  • Wading in the cool river on a summer afternoon
  • Relaxing along the banks under the Colorado sun

This kind of river access, this close to your homesite, is one of the defining features of Bear Creek.


This drone video (below) by Dee Plucinski showcases the 20 acres of community open space just outside the Bear Creek gate in the winter.  


🔧 Well & Septic Information (What You Need to Know)

This property will require the installation of a well and septic system.

The good news: this specific area of Bear Creek is known for more favorable well-drilling conditions, which can be a major advantage compared to other parts of the subdivision.

For Colorado buyers, that’s an important detail—and one that can make a meaningful difference in both cost and ease of development.

🎿 Location & Recreation

Living here places you in the heart of everything that makes South Fork special:

  • Minutes from town amenities in South Fork
  • Near the Rio Grande Club & Resort
  • Approximately 20 minutes to Wolf Creek Ski Area – known for the most snow in Colorado
  • Access to hundreds of miles of ATV and hiking trails in the surrounding San Juan Mountains

Whether it’s fishing, skiing, golfing, or exploring, this location puts it all within easy reach.
