Imagine shaping a neighborhood that becomes part of the story of Mancos—a place where families put down roots, friendships grow, and the next generation calls home. Just 1.5 miles west of downtown, this 13.3-acre parcel offers a special opportunity to build a community that blends small-town charm with the beauty of Southwest Colorado’s open spaces. Already divided into 48 single-family lots, the property invites creative planning and thoughtful development. The Town of Mancos offers zoning flexibility and welcomes collaboration on possibilities that could include multi-housing options alongside family homes. With panoramic views stretching from Mesa Verde to the La Plata Mountains, each home site offers a stunning natural backdrop for everyday living. Projected returns are strong—approximately $20 Million for a full build-out of 1,300 sq. ft. homes (averaging $450k each) or around $4 Million in lot sales (averaging $85K per lot). And with infrastructure improvements still needed—roads, water lines, and sewer systems with sump pumps—developers have a chance to build from the ground up and shape every detail. This isn’t just an investment in land—it’s an investment in people, place, and purpose. A chance to create a lasting neighborhood that enhances the town’s character and provides housing for the growing Mancos community.
