Property Features
Supplements
A 30 + foot trailer on property with propane stove, oven and refrigerator; 12v battery operates lighting and solar charger. Has A/C - but has not been used in years. Currently no septic system on property but trailer has working pump for full kitchen and bathroom. Has a master bedroom with queen size bed and plenty of storage and a sofa is a queen size convertible. Roof recently sealed. Twenty feet from trailer is a large picnic - style bench that seats eight and another twenty feet has a beautiful fire pit with built - in grill.
At night, as your flames die down, on a moonless night, look up at the amazing starry nights; with the splendor of the shooting stars, the International Space Station and the Milky Way illuminating your way back to your beds. Next to the picnic bench is a 12 foot high observation platform with stairs and a platform so expansive that six people can comfortably sleep above ground level and away from the critters and still sleep outdoors. From this platform you can eye the stars close enough to touch or set up a telescope for astronomic and planetary exploration. Or survey the meadows 300 feet away; for animal activity by your pond from the platform.
The land is your typical high sierra, Juniper, Piñon and and Ponderosa Pine forest. Harvest these for yourself or to sell. Prickly Pear cactus and the delicious delicacy - the leave of the prickly pear (Nopal in Mexico) is harvested and roasted to make scrumptious Mexican dishes. We have mule deer, white tails, turkey, cotton tails, jack rabbit, ground squirrel, seasonal elk -enough to create wallows by the pond and knock down my game cameras - and the occasional bear and cougar. Signs of scat everywhere. The coyote can be heard at night so close to your camp and using night vision scope you can spot all kinds of life around the pond. With 140 mountainous and rolling acres to hike, it will take you over two hours and a half to circumnavigate your land and the property is ready for you to design and clear an unbelievable ATV trail or horse trail for the kids; or the kid in you.
The property has yielded fossils, volcanic rocks and American Indian arrowheads. Bring your metal detector and search for metal objects or explore near an old coal mine on the property - sealed for safety reasons. By the coal mine is a gated and graveled road leading to an area perfect for a small caliber shooting range with a backdrop of a semi - circular ridge for safety and noise reduction. It's located well away from the trailer in another tract of thirty five acres. From firing area to target you can shoot a distance of 150 years or more.
On the property and within about 100 yards from your trailer is a very large storage shed that's been restored with new roof, siding and floor. Inside is a generator and electrical cable running underground to the trailer to power your A/C and 110 outlets. The A/C has not been tested by the seller, but the generator is brand new, in the box and hasn't been run. There is also a old uncased well hole on the property. Generally in this area one needs to drill pretty deep to reach any water.
Near the trailer - at about two hundred yards and at a higher elevation is a flat area where a test hole has been dug and soil sample taken. This has provided my architect and building engineer the determination that a walk - out basement home would be perfect and both architectural plans and engineer stamped drawings, along with the soil study for the construction of a 1,600 square foot, two level 3 bedroom, 2 and 1/2 bath home with two car garage are available to the buyer of the property. You can bring in power from about a mile away or go off the grid with solar and wind power. I planned it four two - thousand gallon cisterns.
Let us show you this property. Make the time to see it by day and by night. Then drive the 20 minutes back home in Trinidad or your hotel. A forest so quite you can hear a pin drop, along with the sound of the local fauna. Most of your neighbors are absentee. A near but yet, remote get - a - way for sale at a very reasonable price.
