This 40 acre National Forest in-holding has over 1,800 feet of both sides of the West Fork Dolores River meandering through the property. National Forest on all 4 sides means your neighbors will be the elk, mule deer, turkey, and trout that call this country home. Never before on the market, this property has primarily been a 3 season retreat for the owners, with the primary focus being an elk hunting operation where friends would ride their horses directly off the property during the Fall hunting season. Excellent year round access on a well maintained county road, and great southern exposure, allow for this place to be a wonderful year round residence. Improvements consist of a 3 bedroom cabin with an open floorplan, office, and a huge loft area big enough for 6 beds, a detached 4 car garage with a carport large enough for 6 vehicles, an old homesteader's cabin, barn, corrals, and multiple RV hook-ups. All of seller's mineral rights will convey with the property, which is believed to be 100%. A scenic and wildlife Conservation Easement held by Montezuma Land Conservancy ensures this land will stay in its pristine habitat, while also keeping low ag taxes in perpetuity. The world famous Dunton Hot Springs is a short drive up the county road.
