Legal Information
When we speak of property we typically use an address -- 123 Main Street for instance.
As most vacant land does not have a physical address, however, county governments will identify it in other ways, such as a "legal description", a parcel number or a tax code. The information provided in the table to the right are the ways in which the various state and county agencies will identify this specific parcel of land. These signifiers are important to have when speaking with these agencies - whether they be the assessor, the zoning office, or even the local utilities - and may prove invaluable when initiating conversations about whatever research a buyer intends to do.
Whenever one exists or has been assigned to the land, the physical address will be included in this table.

Access & Utilities
The subject property has one hundred feet of road frontage along the aforementioned Prairie Wind Lane, a road best navigated by a larger truck or off-road capable vehicle.
While not located on the parcel itself, power and underground utilities can be found servicing a number of nearby developed home sites including ones on neighboring lots (see photos in the gallery at the bottom of this page). Because of this, it should be both easy and affordable to get power extended to the subject property. Anyone looking to investigate costs or logistics is advised to call the San Luis Valley Rural Electric Cooperative, the utility company which services this region.

Zoning & Restrictions
The Alamosa River Estates subdivision has no HOA, no annual dues and no time limit on building. Additionally, while the subdivision was originally created with covenants and restrictions those regulations were written to expire after 25 years, a period of which has long since past. Because of this, the property may be used seasonally for camping, RV living or general recreational purposes. Should you choose to develop the land, you'll have greater opportunity to create unconventional dwellings not easy to get permitted elsewhere such as tiny homes, shipping containers or even yurts.
The Colorado Division of Water Resources logs the well depth of the five wells nearest to this property between 46 and 80 feet. This - along with the presence of the river - suggests an easily accessible water table.

Whenever possible it is best to speak with these agencies first as they will always be a far greater source of information about the local region and the regulations which govern it.

Property boundary stakes can be found marking the three corners of this triangular lot (see photos in gallery at the bottom of this page). This should eliminate the need for a costly survey and afford the new owner more money for building.
The subject property has a gradual slope from its southern boundary along Prairie Wind Land to the northern end which backs up to a neighboring developed home site. The pitch of the land may pose difficulties for anyone looking to build on the parcel and buyers are encouraged to investigate this personally if able.
