Description

While this was a sad time, the regrowth on the small shrubs, bushes, flowers and grasses has already sprang into action. It will only be a matter of a few short years before the trees follow suite and have started to regrow.
Now more then ever is the perfect time to grab this stunning summer cabin site at prices that will never be seen again. Lots this size were selling before the fire for $6000 and up cash! For a limited time you can get this lot for nearly $1500 off the typical price.

The Great Sand Dunes

Great Sand Dunes Oasis is on the eastern side of the remote, high-mountain San Luis Valley, between the Blanca Massif and Crestone Needle, are the Great Sand Dunes, the tallest sand dunes in North America. The dunes cover approximately 39 square miles and rise to almost 750′ above the valley floor. This is a must-see spot! The Great Sand Dunes Oasis is the gateway to the Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve.
The dunes are the product of the wind and rain eroding the San Juan and the Sangre de Cristo Mountains that ring the San Luis Valley. They have collected here because the prevailing winds across the valley blow in this direction. But here, at the foot of the mountains, the wind has to drop some of its load of sand in order to clear the mountains. So over the course of millennia, the dunes have built up to where they are today. And tomorrow they will be different because the wind keeps on blowing. It’s a great spot to visit over and over again
