Property Description
Visit this one! It's just off the road and one of the best properties in the Sangre de Cristo Ranches. This 8.499-acre lot borders public land connected to Rito Seco Park and will never have neighbors on about two-thirds of its boundary, making it feel much larger and more private.
This is the first parcel entering the Adelaide Road canyon, just off Highway 159. Electricity runs along Juarez Road near the intersection with Adelaide Road, making an on-grid home or cabin a real possibility. Fiber-optic service already runs along Adelaide Road.
The canyon holds more moisture, allowing the trees to grow larger and thicker than in many nearby areas. It feels like a higher-elevation mountain property while still offering close access to San Luis and Fort Garland.
The land has a gentle slope with several possible building and camping areas. A campsite could be completely hidden from the road. The arroyo provides several possible entry points where a culvert could be installed.
This property offers excellent tree cover, privacy, public-land access, and space for a future home or cabin.
Buyer should verify property boundaries, public-land access, road conditions, electrical and fiber-optic availability, connection costs, building requirements, culvert permits, and all permitted uses.

- REALTOR ® / Broker Associate License ID: FA.100108858
With more than 20 years in Douglas County, I bring both local knowledge and a personal understanding of how our housing needs change through different seasons of life. As an empty nester who has also experienced multi-generational living firsthand, I especially enjoy helping clients think through what they need from a home today—and what will serve them well in the years ahead.
My approach to real estate is shaped by a diverse professional background. I earned a law degree and spent years in senior corporate leadership, including leading a business division responsible for product acquisition and development, sales, marketing, and overall performance. Today, alongside our real estate business, we own a residential remodeling and handyman company. That combination brings business leadership, strategic negotiation, marketing expertise, legal education, and hands-on knowledge of homes to every transaction.
For sellers, I help determine what’s worth doing—and what isn’t—to prepare and position a home for the best possible result. When updates make sense, our pay-at-close renovation option can help coordinate practical improvements without requiring upfront payment. For buyers, I bring the same thoughtful approach to evaluating a home’s condition, potential, functionality, and long-term value.
Above all, I’m a calm, strategic, and hands-on partner who believes great representation is personal. Whether I’m developing a pricing strategy, negotiating on your behalf, coordinating contractors and staging, or hanging curtains before photos, I treat your move with the same care I would my own.
