the setting: Mountain Lion Ranch lies in the foothills of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. It’s location above the Valley floor offers several benefits—it’s high enough to be warmer in winter and cooler in summer than in nearby Alamosa. The area’s climate can be described as arid and sunny. Some call the San Luis Valley “the land of cool sunshine.” The property has direct access to BLM land, to the Sangre de Cristo National Forest and to nearby Zapata Falls. Within the subdivision you will find two private fishing lakes. You’ll see the lower lake as you enter the subdivision. The upper lake takes a bit more travel time to reach. With picnic tables, barbecue pits and spectacular views, it’s worth the effort. Zapata Creek runs through the subdivision and borders Mountain Lion Ranch and a few of the additional available parcels of land. A few other creeks, such as Spyder Creek—which you must cross to access the Ranch—run seasonally. Spring runoff can be spectacular. The property can be accessed from State Highway 17 (take the turn east toward Great Sand Dunes National Park), at Highway 150, go south approximately 1 mile, then turn east into Zapata Subdivision. Mountain Lion Ranch can also be accessed from US Highway 160. From Hwy. 160, take the exit toward Great Sand Dunes National Park and onto Highway 150. Make a turn to the east into Zapata Subdivision 12.4 miles from your turn onto Hwy. 150. Highways 17 and 160 are well-maintained travelled routes. Once in the subdivision, you will travel for approximately 1 mile on well-maintained gravel roads. A short driveway leads to the carport and house. Before you visit, please call to obtain the current gate access code. Codes are changed several times each year.
