The two above

runs along the east side
of your property.
Plat Map The
condition of Ottawa Avenue is
a good representation of the
the roads leading to
this 5-acre property once you
leave Highway 159.

Although the maintenance
of the roads in this
subdivision are the
responsibility of
Costilla County, the
county has not done so
for years. This
saves the county money
and helps to keep your
property taxes very low.
There is a very good
reason to not have the
county grade the roads.
A road less traveled is
less traveled by people
who do not belong. |

This is a

Hummingbirds |
|
|
The area
has two beautiful
hummingbird species, the
Broad-tailed (right) and the
Rufous (below-left).
These
amazing tiny birds that can fly like
a helicopter and grow to
only 3-4 inches in size.
During
the summer, you can
attract hummingbirds to your
property with a hummingbird
feeder like the ones shown
below. |

Chamisa Bush
|
|
|
During late summer and
early fall the Chamisa bush
is covered with small yellow
flowers.
Found on
your property and growing
all over the San Luis
Valley, the Chamisa bush, also known as
rabbit bush, is a colorful
addition to your property.
The bush can grow as
tall
as 3 feet, but is
usually shorter on your
property -- less than 18
inches.
There are many other plants
and flowers that grow
naturally on your property. |

|
Sage
Brush
 |
|
|
The air is also filled with
the wonderful aroma of sage.
Sage brush grows on your
land. This is one wildlife
attraction. Sage brush is a
source of food. Sage brush
also provides the numerous
rabbits a hiding place. |

During the
winter months,
especially after
a fresh
snowfall, the
elk will migrate
out of the
mountains into
the San Luis
Valley to graze
the easily
obtainable
grass. They also
love to eat
alfalfa in the
farm fields. |
