- Location & Size: This sprawling 40 acre parcel is located in Turkey Ridge Ranch, a residential subdivision situated north of US Highway 10 and just a short drive from both Lathrop State Park and the town of Walsenburg. Click here to see the subject property's location on Google Maps.
- Roads & Access: The subject property sits just east of County Road 122 along a road the plat map identifies as Neibuhr Lane and which some maps identify as Turkey Ridge Ranch Road South (Google Maps does not name it). This road runs along the entire western boundary of the property, and like all of the roads in this subdivision, is a well-maintained dirt/gravel road which should be easy to traverse in any vehicle type.
- Power & Utilities: Power lines can be found running along the western end of Neibuhr Lane right across the street from the subject parcel. In addition, underground utilities can be found throughout Turkey Ridge Ranch including servicing nearby developed home sites. Anyone looking to investigate the costs involved in connecting to the grid can contact the San Isabel Electric Company, the utility provider which services this region.
- POA: Turkey Ridge Ranch is governed by the Turkey Ridge Ranch Property Owners Association, an organization which helps maintain the beauty of the region, and hence it's property values. As is to be expected, the Turkey Ridge Ranch POA is also responsible for enforcing covenants and restrictions which govern this community. It should be noted, however, that most of these are what we like to refer to as "reasonable, good neighbor restrictions" dealing with the disposal of trash and prohibitions on excessive noise. In other words, nothing too strict. To learn more about the Turkey Ridge Ranch covenants and restrictions you can read the PDF linked here or visit the Turkey Ridge Ranch website here.
- POA Guidelines: Some general guidelines to be aware of in this subdivision include the following: Properties can be used for residential, agricultural or recreational purposes. Mobile and modular homes are acceptable here but minimum square footage of structures can be 1,200 sqft for single family residences and 1,000 sqft for manufactured homes. Anyone developing the property has a time-limit of 18 months from the time of ground-breaking to complete construction. Camping and RV'ing can be done recreationally though no time limits are stipulated beyond six months during the construction of the permanent home site. Annual dues are $200 and can be paid at all at once or in increments throughout the year.
- Zoning: While zoning is normally an important topic, in regions like this with an active Property Owners Association, the covenants tend to either supersede local zoning ordinances and building codes or reinforce them. Because of this, anyone with specific questions about how the land can be used or developed is advised to contact the Turkey Ridge Ranch POA directly at (719) 989-3926.
- Boundary Markers: Property boundary stakes can be found marking the corners of this lot (see photos in gallery at the bottom of this page).
- B.L.M Land: As noted, the subject property backs up to over 6,000 acres of Bureau of Land Management land which begins along the parcel's eastern boundary. This region is home to the Cucharas Canyon and the Cucharas River which will provide not only a dynamic backdrop to your new home sites, but plenty of land ideal for exploration.
- Fencing: It should be noted that fencing meant to separate the subdivision from the Bureau of Land Management land has been installed and runs through the subject property, dividing the eastern most ten percent of the land from the rest of the parcel. This fencing - from what we're told - pre-dates the subdivision and was constructed in the 1920's, running throughout the region separating the privately owned land from the government land. While a property owner can continue to use the portion of the parcel east of the fencing, it's questionable the fencing can be removed or relocated without permission from the HOA, the County and the B.L.M itself.
- Lathrop State Park: Located only five minutes south of the subject property is the Lathrop State Park. Home to the Horseshoe and Martin Lakes, this area offers plenty of opportunity for swimming, boating, water skiing, wind-surfing and general relaxation. Additionally, the lake is a great spot for fishermen as it features a number of species of fish including rainbow trout, walleye, catfish, blue gills, tiger muskies and the regrettably named crappie.
- Nearby Towns: Just a few minutes east of Lathrop State Park is the town of Walsenburg, home to a population of roughly 3,000 residents. Here you'll have easy access to groceries and supplies as well as schools, churches and medical facilities. A number of building supply stores can be found here, making it easy to fetch whatever materials you'll need for the construction of your new property. The nearest Walmart, however, is located roughly forty miles south in the town of Trinidad.
- Nearby Attractions: It should be noted that Lathrop State Park isn't home to the only lakes in the region. Trinidad Lake State Park is roughly forty miles south of the subject property, and Lake Pueblo State Park is roughly an hour north.
