The property is off of Ice House Rd which looks like a more popular road with some houses and other roads coming off it. ![]() Zooming out on the map, we see that it’s southeast of Fort Garland and the intersection of Highways 160 and a County Road 159.

It increases the likelihood of that seller being a scam or not having the rights to actually sell you that property. Note: If the seller does not have the parcel number or cannot get it for you – that is a big red flag.
