Lot 5 Westby Court, San Luis, CO, 81152

An opportunity for a cash buyer to gain some sweat equity and land a 35-acre parcel with spectacular views for a great price! According to the seller, hemp was cultivated on this lot until 2019, and evidence of the grow operation remains on the property: sheets of black plastic, tubing, fencing, signs, etc. The parcel is priced accordingly; note that the fencing alone may afford some value to a buyer. This lot is zoned residential, and the listing broker and seller are not aware of water resources available to enable legal hemp cultivation on this parcel. When cleanup is complete, the new owners can enjoy the secluded, phenomenal location with seemlingly endless views and no neighbors. Parcels to the south (MLS#8196908 and MLS#3693194) are also available for a total of 106 acres.
