Location and Acreage This property, with custom home, is located just a few miles south of the quaint town of La Veta, Colorado in Huerfano County at the base of the West Spanish Peak. The views of the mountains here are just incredible in all directions. The 36.40± acres are mostly harvestable hay fields, perfect for horses. The terrain is a nice mix of rolling hills with oak brush, which in the spring and summer are lush and green. The hay field is managed by a local rancher, which helps this parcel maintain its “Agricultural” status, keeping the taxes low. The property is located in the highly desirable Hole in the Wall Ranch subdivision. The area boasts huge herds of elk that call this valley home. There are also lots of deer, black bear, bobcat, hawks and especially the bald eagles, which come in the early spring and nest in the area. The property is completely fenced and cross fenced for horses or grazing animals. School Creek runs through the lower part of the property.
