This cabin is quite comfortable, with a large enough property to afford privacy. The lot has mature aspen, spruce and ponderosa pine trees for shade and offers a soothing rustling as the breeze blows through to rock you to sleep.
The Conejos river is a short walk and offers quality (flys/lure only) fishing and it is a short drive to access to the South San Juan Wilderness complete with its secluded lakes and streams, or a short drive around the canyon to fish clear smaller streams that flow into New Mexico. Several lakes are within a short drive (Platoro, Trujillo Meadows, La Jara, Smith, Mountain Home, Sanchez,El Vado,Chama River, Brazos, Heron) or many remote lakes accessible by foot or horseback in the wilderness. A stable with horse rentals is very close for wilderness day trips. All fishing is for various trout species, except that Northern Pike,can be caught in the Rio Grande at Alamosa, and at Sanchez Res, along with Perch, walleye at Sanchez. Heron dam (New Mexico) also has lake trout,kokanee salmon)
A wide variety of wildlife is available in close proximity for hunting or photographing, including, deer, elk, turkey, bear (in different color phases), grouse, ptarmigan, big horn sheep, band tailed pigeons, song birds and raptors. Humming birds visit the feeders on the cabin deck constantly and can be seen through the windows, and the grey jay (camp robber) is everywhere like an old friend. If rodents are your thing you will find a variety, from marmots, to golden mantled squirrels, aberts and pine squirrels,chipmunks, cottontails, snowshoe hares, white tailed jackrabbits. Predators abound and the South San Juan is the site of the Lynx reintroduction program, and it is also where the last known sighting of a grizzly bear in Colorado occurred.
You can transition from sage flats, through oak/pine juniper into aspen then to mixed conifer and up to sub-alpine forests.
For big game hunters, this property is located in Game management unit 81 and is thus far free of chronic wasting disease. The Rio Grande National forest is within a stone throw and there is quite a lot of BLM land near for thousands of acres of public access land.
You will enjoy your stay and who knows, you might even see the elusive pine marten or a melanistic Abert's squirrel, or an auburn red bear. |
