Listing details for 1097 Pioneer Trl, Crestone, CO 81131 : Tucked on a peaceful cul-de-sac in the Baca Grande Grants, this 1.51-acre lot comes ready to build with a 130' well and 1000 gallon septic tank and system already installed. Sandy, easy-to-work soil welcomes strawbale, earthbag, hempcrete, and other natural building methods under minimal building codes. Step outside and your backyard becomes public land, which rolls into more than 60,000 acres of national forest and wildlife refuge, with 360-degree views of soaring mountain peaks and the open valley floor stretching out before you. Sunrises here are pure gold, sunsets are their own kind of legendary, and with 250-plus sunny days a year under some of the cleanest air and darkest, most star-filled skies in the country, this is off-grid living at its finest. Plowed and maintained roads keep you connected, while climbable 14ers, multiple hot springs, skiing resorts and the Great Sand Dunes are all nearby. Just fifteen minutes brings you into Crestone for groceries, a café, art galleries, and everyday essentials, and an hour to Salida for river-town charm. Surrounded by a soulful, welcoming community, local festivals, a golf course, hiking trails, and spiritual centers galore, this is the rare place. Quiet and connection, rest and adventure all coexist right here.
