6958 TRINCHERA RANCH ROAD. The address and name says it all. A 5-acre homesite on one of the most desirable lots Block 316 Unit H-3 one of three lots on a slightly lifted elevation and directly across from the Trinchera Ranch Resort. This location has stunning 360-degree views of Trinchera Peak, Gato Peak, and primary views of the Sangre de Cristo range, the winter feeding grass meadows of the Ranch as well as a full view of Mt. Home Reservoir. To the rear is the top view of Blanca Peak. To the distant front of the property-there is a 22-mile view all the way to Amalia Peak NM at Vermijo Park.

This homesite requires both well and septic permits -depending on the size of your build. It also boasts a Highway grade gravel driveway (primed for paving), leading to the top platform building site equipped with high end RV electric panel 50/30/110 amp and septic tank for hook up. One of very few lots on the paved Trinchera Ranch Road leading to Highway 160. Immediate proximity to all recreational sports activities at the State managed Mt. Home Reservoir. (See pics of satellite imagery for Stevenson driveway survey of 2012).

This location provides front row seats to the winter and year-round grazing to one of the largest Elk herds in North America, the second largest elk population is in northern NM an southern CO – between the Sangre de Cristo’s and the San Juan Mountain range to the west. This location becomes the center of the universe under a Full Moon, when it illuminates the peaks, the river below, and the reservoir. It is the thrill of a lifetime to see the Elk herd swimming and frolicking in the river under a Full Moon,, This area may well be the location of the historic military encampment called ‘Camp Corkscrew’ which predates Fort Garland. The original cartographer survey map from New Mexico territory depicted the peaks in their current location as well as the creek and noted the 20-mile distance to Amalia peak NM to the south.
