When I first moved to Colorado sometime around 1995 and started looking for Colorado land I didn't know what an arroyo was. I thought "gosh that must have been a small creek or river a long time ago" and then as time when on I learned more about them and how beautiful they can be. According to an article on SantafeNewMexico.com  a new book by Beverly Spears titled Sand River in Bloom says that  "People who live along arroyos learn to love these … [Read more...]

December 2011 was a busy month for Adobe Gold Properties and we have two new property owners that found their own piece of heaven in Southern Colorado.

It's like Christmas no matter what time of year it is so it's especially rewarding … [Read more...]

Our phones have been ringing and we have had quite a few emails since reducing the price on our Delagua Canyon Ranch listing for Parcels 53 & 54 a few days ago. The ranch road ends at this 70 acre parcel, which is priced right now about what you would expect to pay for just a single 35 acre parcel. This listing is Priced to Sell! The way these two parcels are laid out they really don't lend themselves to being sold separately although they could be. … [Read more...]

We have a 35 acre property listing that we wanted to bring to your attention and that is our Delagua Canyon Ranch Tract 13 because we think that it has really been overlooked and it has so much to offer. It is one of the few properties that we have listed that has an existing water well already drilled and this is a pretty important we think. The property is awesome and in a private ranch not far from I-25, about 6-7 miles to the ranch entrance, but far … [Read more...]

Most of us have come following their heart to the Colorado Mountains to live a different lifestyle than we were used to in the hustle and bustle of the big cities. We came here looking for peace and quiet and in many ways to do our part to protect the planet. We came from areas where you were taught to "plant a tree" to help the earth and we did this and we preached this, didn't we? Cutting down a tree is the last thing that we want to do. Well that … [Read more...]

We are excited about the future. Moving into our new office in downtown Trinidad is really pretty exciting. I have always said that "Activity creates Activity" and active we have been!  Ha. Moving into the new office is certainly something that will keep you active but that it not what I am talking about. Starting in 1995 I created my first real estate website, actually I had someone else build it for me. Then in 1999 I decided that I wanted to … [Read more...]

Since 2001 when Adobe Gold Properties opened it's doors we have worked out of our Home/Office just west of Aguilar. In fact we purchased our new office building in about 2005 but chose to rent it out instead of moving into it. Anyone who has known us has heard us say that we didn't want to have to "get up and go to work" everyday because we were living the lifestyle that we wanted. And truly we have done just that. But hey times change and we feel that … [Read more...]

One of our favorite places in this area to go visit and play is Cuchara. The Cuchara Ski Resort has, over the years, been in and out of business. It's a tough business I understand and in this area we struggle sometimes to keep enough snow to supply the ski resort with what they need. Not to mention that we are just not on the tourist map here. While that is good in many ways it is not good when you are trying to keep a ski resort open. This last week on … [Read more...]

We took the drive from Aguilar over Cordova Pass through the Cordova Arch then over to Cuchara Pass.
