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
Like most of the roads in this subdivision, Golden Hill Avenue is a well-maintained dirt/gravel road that can be navigated by any vehicle type.
While power lines extend thoughout most of the Lazy KV Estates subdivision, there is no power on the subject parcel. The nearest power, however, can be found roughly 1,000 feet north servicing nearby home sites. While a number of land owners in this region rely on solar and other alternative forms of energy, anyone looking to get power extended to the subject property can contact San Luis Valley Rural Electric Coop, the power company servicing this region, to inquire about the cost and/or logistics of getting connected to the grid.

Zoning & Restrictions
The Lazy KV Estates subdivision is part of an HOA that offers land owners a surprising number of benefits. Aside from general upkeep of the roads throughout the region, they also manage a private lake with opportunities for fishing and boating made available to dues paying land owners. Those dues, by the way, total a mere $137.00 annually and can be paid in installments throughout the year. To learn more about the Lazy KV Estates HOA, you can visit this informal Facebook page for residents of the region. NOTE: We're told a formal HOA website is in the works and should be live soon. We'll update this listing if and when that time comes.
In addition to a private lake and campground area, Lazy KV Estates also distinguishes itself from other rural subdivisions by providing water hookups for residents. The installation fee for this is $3,500.00 and includes an underground valve and above ground spigot to help bring water to your new property year 'round. For more information about this feature, buyers are encouraged to contact the HOA directly at 719.256.4022.
It should be noted that the subject property already has one of these aformentioned valves and spigots installed on the land (see photos in the gallery at the bottom of this page). As it is not clear whether this is or ever has been operational, Hemingway Land is not selling this property with the promise this will work or that it will allow buyers to avoid the installation fee. Anyone curious about this potential benefit and savings is encouraged to investigate this with the HOA.
As is to be expected, the Lazy KV Estates HOA has a number of covenants and restrictions they're also tasked with enforcing. These covenants include an Architectural Control Committee that approves and helps land owners with all of their residential building plans. It should be noted, however, that while such Committees are usually strict about what gets built or parked within their subdivisions, all evidence here seems to suggest the contrary.
Some general building guidelines to be aware of in this subdivision include the following: Mobile and modular homes are acceptable here, minimum square footage of structures can be 600 sqft for single story dwellings and 800 sqft for two story dwellings, residential trailers are acceptable as long as they are older then four years and at least 600 sqft and a camping trailer is only allowed while the permanent residence is under construction.

The Hemingway Land Company does our best to represent the properties we list as accurately as possible. Our research, however, will always be limited.
Because of this, included in the table to the right is a list of the relevant state and county governments, agencies and authorities as well as local utilities (and all their respective websites and contact information) which should help to answer any questions a buyer may have about developing this specific property.
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.

Like most all the lots in this subdivision, the subject property features boundary stakes marking its four corners. This of course can be a great benefit to buyers as it means you will not need to incur the expense of a costly survey.
It should be noted that while the subject property is located within Lazy KV Estates, it does sit in the southwest most corner of the subdivision and backs up to private land. At the moment, the 35 acre parcel it is adjacent to is undeveloped, though it's reasonable to expect that may one day change.

Attractions
Nearby Towns
As noted, the subject property sits in close proximity to the surprisingly quaint and artsy towns of Saguache, Crestone and Moffat. With each of these towns you'll have easy access to groceries, supplies, post offices, banks, churches and some small cafes and restaurants (see photos in the gallery at the bottom of this page).
It should be noted that while the afformentioned small towns are within easy driving distance of the subject property, buyers will have to travel roughly forty minutes either north into Salida or south into Alamosa for larger grocery and supply runs or to access the nearest bix bog stores such as Wal Mart and Home Depot. As is to be expected, these larger towns will provide even greater options for additional servics such as shopping, dining and medical care.
