Filing No. 1 began with lots lying between County 53.7, formerly know as US Highway 85/87, and the easterly rim rock of the plateau overlooking the old mining townsite of Rugby. A formidable geologic pinnacle protrudes from the rim rock and is known as Rugby Rock. This unique feature sits immediately above Lot 8. It is not on the property, but is the sentinel watching over it. Access is always a critical element in selecting a property. Lot 8 has direct access from the Paved County Road into the property. Since the County Road is fenced, the entire east boundary, fronting on the County Road is fenced. The construction is a 4-strand barbed wire fence on steel posts with stays, built to DOT standards. The entrance has corner posts on each side, facilitating a controlled access. There is also a fence on the north boundary, but the south and west boundaries are not fenced. The terrain is moderately steep and rolling with an easterly slope. Generally the area slopes southeast towards the Apishapa River, which flows through the town of Aguilar. From the property entrance to the town is a distance of 3.4 miles of excellent all-weather road. Vegetation on the property includes juniper, (cedar), and piñon trees as well as scattered Gambrel Oak and Buck Brush. Grasses include Indian Ricegrass, Mutton grass, and sideoates Grama. The primary soil type in the area is Louviers-Travessilla. This primary soil type is a shallow, well drained sloping to very steep soil on ridges and side slopes of dissected plateaus. Elevation is 6,300 to 7,500 feet and annual precipitation is 14 to 16 inches. Wildlife in the area consists of mule deer, cottontail rabbits, squirrel, porcupine, coyote, a limited number of turkeys and mourning doves, with occasional elk, and antelope, usually just passing through. Views from the property area are a combined assortment including plains toward the east, that are unlimited expanses, and the Sangre de Cristo mountain range, Greenhorn mountain, and the Spanish Peaks to the west and Fishers Peak to the south. These various vistas offer the beauty and enchantment of Southern Colorado and multiple opportunities for recreation. There are numerous lakes in the area and streams for fishing…
