Looking for wide open spaces and breathtaking views? A short commute to a national park? Comfortable living out your Genghis Khan fantasy with no bathroom in sight?

This Colorado real estate listing might be just what you’re looking for.

A 35.49-acre property bordering Mesa Verde National Park is on the market for $410,000. It offers a rare opportunity for off-grid living with panoramic views and proximity to outdoor recreation.

Located at 36082 Highway 160 in Mancos, Colorado, the parcel includes a 452-square-foot yurt with an elevated sleeping platform, a tipi, and a cistern. However, the listing does not include a bathroom, making it more suitable for buyers prepared to install off-grid sanitation or build a permanent residence.

The property features a mix of terrain, from hillsides with close-up views of Mesa Verde to flatter areas with sweeping views of the La Plata Mountains, Mancos Valley, and Point Lookout.

Positioned between Mancos and Cortez, the land provides seclusion without sacrificing access to amenities. Nearby recreation areas include Phil’s World Mountain Bike Park, the Mancos Aqueduct Trail, and the Chicken Creek Nordic ski trails.

Year-round access is available via a private road easement, and the property allows short-term rentals with a minimum stay of 30 days, which could generate seasonal income.

On its face, the property may be listed above current market value. At more than $11,500 per acre, the listing is well above the average price range for similar land in the area, which typically falls between $2,200 and $7,700 per acre, based on other current and recent listings for the ZIP code.

While the premium may reflect the property’s location and off-grid structures, the lack of basic amenities means buyers will need to invest in additional infrastructure.

As one commenter on Reddit’s r/zillowgonewild noted, “Yurts are cute, but $400,000 for one with no bathroom in Colorado?”
