Property Description

Perched perfectly above the historic town of Creede, this exceptional 6.122-acre parcel is the largest lot in the 7-lot Creede Mesa development, where each property has a minimum of 5 acres to live their mountainside dream with a feeling of true privacy. Tucked away at the very end / at the top, this property delivers the ultimate blend of secluded mountain living and immediate town convenience. Though it feels farther away, you can be in downtown Creede, including the renowned Repertory Theatre and art galleries, within two minutes. Bordering the Rio Grande National Forest on two full sides, the property serves as a daily thoroughfare for local deer and wildlife. The heavily treed, north-facing lot enjoys diffused sunlight throughout the day. Panoramic views stretch across the landscape, capturing the historic Sunnyside Chapel, the dramatic cliff canyons, and even a view of Wagon Wheel Gap. Building is remarkably straightforward here compared to typical alpine lots. The corners are already staked, and one of the suggested build sites requires no 4x4 vehicle or steep-grade driveway to access. Minimal to possibly zero tree removal is required at the site. The county also maintains and plows Molly S Drive year-round. The infrastructure on this parcel sets it entirely apart from standard county acreage, as the lot is already connected to city water, providing a massive utility advantage, with buried electricity and a fire hydrant located right at the property line for added safety and convenience. While a private septic system will need to be installed, the heavy lifting for these other major utilities is already done. Additionally, the location is highly functional; per county approval, which another lot owner secured, the shared cul-de-sac can be utilized as a temporary landing space for staging building supplies during construction or for temporary extra guest parking once you are settled into your mountain home. Located just up from town off the Bachelor Loop (up behind the cemetery and the Creede America development), the property is just outside the city limits with reasonable HOA covenants that are similar to other like-developments in the area and the annual dues are low. This is truly a "hard-to-beat" acreage with some of the best views in Mineral County.
