ACCESS & UTILITIES
Roads & Access: The subject property sits at the end of Saddleback Trail, a road accessed off of State Road 434 and County Road 25. While the State and County Roads are paved and maintained regularly throughout the year, and while Saddleback itself is a graded dirt road that is short and easy to navigate, it should be noted that this property is located in a higher elevation that experiences regular snowfall. Because of this, a larger truck or off-road capable vehicle is recommended during winter months.
Power & Utilities: In the interest of preserving the natural appearance and scenic beauty of the region, the Valley Vista subdivision is one that has been created without the presence of above-ground residential power lines. Instead, all power and telecom utilities are underground. This includes at the subject property where utility boxes are present. Because of this it should be neither difficult nor expensive to get service connected to whatever you choose to build on the land. Anyone looking to investigate the costs associated with connecting service on the subject property is encouraged to contact Kit Carson Electric Cooperative, the local utility servicing this region.
