Brenda Bates, RE/MAX Mesa Verde Realty, C: 970-799-4434, [email protected], www.brendabates.com: Think of all the possibilities...  Just one driveway apart from the glorious Sand Canyon recreation area entrance, which offers more than 12 miles of trails fit for hiking, biking, and horseback riding, this may be the perfect spot for "dry" camp sites, horse hosting for those who bring their horses to the trails. Maybe some other ideas that fit with all of the visitors to Sand Canyon all year long: Consider a small campground; TeePee camping! Vacation rental,... so, so, so close to Sand Canyon, this would make a great destination spot for short term rentals (subject to any county restrictions) for people who want to take their bikes or horses out on the trails - or just to hike and explore on foot. Adjoining the trail system means private access, too. Another possibility... install a septic system for full-time living or convenience. Use the orchard and garden plot for farmer's market profits! Add on to the cabin to make that dream house a reality - or use it as a guest cabin after building another home that matches a vision you already have. This is a great spot for FHA projects, too. There is plenty of irrigation to raise animals and keep the land productive and green! Appropriation Priority No. 1962-1, Ditch 1, Rock Creek Ditch, .40 c.f.s. No covenants. No HOA. This 3.7 acre property includes a one-room rustic cabin - though not "so" rustic: it does have a kitchen with a propane oven/range, refrigerator, double sink, and cabinets. The cabin's interior walls and ceiling feature t&g wood for perfect cabin ambiance accented with a center tree post that adds unique character. Ceiling fans help with air circulation, aided by an AC unit for cooling and either a propane heater or electric fireplace for warmth. Domestic water is hauled in; waste is handled like camping - lined porta-pot, hauled out. Multiple outbuildings provide for animal shelter and plenty of storage. There is also a cellar for keeping all of that canned fruit harvested from the orchard! If you want vegetables, as well, part of the property is currently unused and would make a perfect garden plot. Cross-fencing keeps it safe from an animals, plus the irrigation water is piped in already and available. *Check with county planning for any ideas to make sure they have met all requirements.
