SELLER MOTIVATED - Set on more than 6 surveyed acres with mature trees and county-maintained road access, this 1,344-square-foot manufactured home brings the costly mechanical work forward. New wiring, plumbing, lighting, and receptacles are already in place, leaving trim and paint as the primary finishing steps. Seller-provided building materials remain on site to help carry the project across the finish line. The 3-bedroom, 2-bath layout includes an open kitchen, a front-room office nook, in-house washer and dryer, sunroom, and attached one-car garage. City water serves the home. A small, separately owned parcel divides the acreage into two accessible sections; both are surveyed and marked, with power already extended to the rear tract. An existing structure on the back lot conveys and may be removed or repurposed, subject to buyer plans and applicable requirements. Along the north side, the property follows a creek with a standard agricultural ditch easement that does not otherwise restrict use of the property. Ownership also includes access and a key to Cielo Vista Ranch, with personal-use logging for home projects and personal grazing rights-an added benefit for buyers who value land, outdoor use, and room to expand. Sanchez Reservoir SWA is about 5 miles away, with San Luis roughly 9 miles, Smith Reservoir 11 miles, Fort Garland 26 miles, Blanca 30 miles, and Alamosa 50 miles. Great Sand Dunes National Park, Red River, La Veta, and Taos are all within an easy regional drive. Schedule a private showing to walk both tracts, review the improvements, and see the opportunity in person.
