00 County Rd 9

This 40-acre parcel in the heart of Colorado's Game Management Unit (GMU) 81 is a rare opportunity for hunters, outdoor enthusiasts, and those seeking a private retreat, as properties of this size and quality rarely become available. Bordering over 1,000 acres of Bureau of Land Management (BLM) land along its western boundary, it provides exceptional privacy and seamless access to expansive wilderness. GMU 81 is renowned for its exceptional elk and deer hunting, with healthy populations, over-the-counter (OTC) elk tags available in many seasons, and strong success rates for archery and rifle hunts. The lot is ideal for building your dream home, establishing a base camp for hunting, camping, or other outdoor pursuits. The eastern part of the property features an easily accessible road, ensuring convenient entry and exit. Year-round, pronghorn, elk, and deer roam the property and surrounding areas, offering an authentic connection to Colorado’s natural splendor. Location balances remote tranquility with easy access to amenities and premier attractions: just 10 minutes from the town of Antonito (with its historic Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad depot for scenic steam train rides), minutes from the beautiful Conejos River (renowned for fly-fishing), and only 15 minutes from the Rio Grande National Forest. Venture a bit farther for world-class adventures—head north to the iconic Great Sand Dunes National Park & Preserve (about 1–1.5 hours away), home to North America's tallest sand dunes, epic hiking, stargazing, and seasonal Medano Creek play. To the northwest, the charming mountain town of Creede (roughly 1.5–2 hours via scenic routes) offers historic mining heritage, outdoor festivals, hiking, and access to the Rio Grande headwaters. Don’t miss this unique chance to own a remarkable piece of wilderness in one of Colorado's last authentic frontiers—perfect for building your dream home surrounded by unparalleled natural beauty.
