Clark, CO
Situated on the lower end of the long slope stretching to Cottonwood Creek, Lot 11 is 50 acres and has views across the Elk River Valley east to the Continental Divide. Mature aspens blended with new growth fade into a small open meadow with unobstructed snowy mountain views. The draw below creates cover for local wildlife to the south while the terrain of the North Murphy-Larsen rises to the north. Thick timber provides a natural barrier from the homesites above. National forest access is just a short stroll on the extensive trail system on the ranch. The trails, maintained year-round provide excellent terrain for cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, hiking, and riding around the ranch. The private water system on the Murphy-Larsen supplies water to the lot which also has underground electric and fiber high-speed internet.
