2348 Benton Place, Fort Garland, CO 81133

Property Description

Seller motivated and owner financing available—ask for details. 2.63 acres in gated Forbes Park with an official address, reported $319 annual HOA dues, clubhouse/common-area access, heavy timber, clear night skies, wildlife, and the kind of mountain setting buyers come to Southern Colorado for. This is not a flat lot. It has character, privacy, elevation, and a rare position near an occasional lake area in the park. Set around 9,520 feet, the property offers a true mountain-cabin feel with heavy tree cover, sloped terrain, and strong view potential. The slope is part of the opportunity here, creating privacy and elevation for a buyer who wants to design something that fits the land. Power is reported nearby, giving buyers a helpful head start as they plan utilities, driveway, excavation, and future improvements. The lake area is one of the big lifestyle draws when water is present. Current water levels are dry and depend on winter snowmelt, so buyers should verify current and seasonal conditions, but the setting still gives this parcel a unique feel inside Forbes Park. Access is through the gated community by Forbes Park roads, with gate/key access and HOA documents available for review. No water, or septic is currently on-site, so buyers can plan their own mountain setup around their goals. Buyer to verify HOA rules, building requirements, utilities, excavation costs, lake conditions, access, internet options, and intended use. Approximate driving distances from the GPS point: 6 miles to the Forbes Park gate, 23 miles to Fort Garland, 25 miles to Mountain Home Reservoir, 52 miles to Great Sand Dunes National Park, 53 miles to Alamosa, and 66 miles to Sand Dunes Recreation.
