Manufactured/modular homes & traffic-generating businesses are not allowed. ** Two neighboring properties are available: 6 acres, immediately west & directly bordering the forest; & 36 acres, w/ a custom home, garage, shop, & numerous amenities, located immediately east. ** At 7040 feet, & located in far western Pueblo County, this property sees relatively mild summers & winters.
