Rito Hondo Mountain Paradise Awaits

[Verse 1] Ten miles west of Antonito, where the mountain winds blow free, Thirty-two acres of Colorado, just waiting there for me. Behind those gates at Rito Hondo, where the quiet settles in, There’s a gravel road to a dream, and a whole new life to begin. The well is flowing, power’s waiting, the driveway’s already there, With a mountain view that’ll stop you in your tracks and steal your stare. And down along the southwest side, where that natural spring runs clear, There’s a place for a cabin and a bunkhouse — Maybe your best days are here. [Chorus] Oh, mountain paradise awaits, Where the elk roam free and the morning breaks, Where the deer walk through and the wild birds call, And the mountains rise up mighty and tall. Build your dream, make your own way, Wake up to Colorado skies every day. Thirty-two acres of heaven at your gate — Come on home to mountain paradise awaits. [Verse 2] National Forest all around you, like a kingdom made of green, Six hundred thirty acres behind the gates, The kind of place you only find in dreams. No city lights, no highway noise, Just a meadow and a mountain breeze, A place where you can hear your own thoughts And live your life with ease. There’s a driveway to the building site, And another where the spring runs by, So bring your plans and bring your hammer, Or let the builder help you bring ’em to life. A cabin for the weekends, a forever home, A place where your family can roam — Whatever your heart’s been looking for, You might just find it here at home. [Chorus] Oh, mountain paradise awaits, Where the elk roam free and the morning breaks, Where the deer walk through and the wild birds call, And the mountains rise up mighty and tall. Build your dream, make your own way, Wake up to Colorado skies every day. Thirty-two acres of heaven at your gate — Come on home to mountain paradise awaits. [Bridge] Forty-five to Alamosa, Taos an hour away, Santa Fe’s just a couple hours when you want to get away. Close enough for what you need, Far enough to disappear, And when you turn that gate behind you, You’ll know why you came here. [Final Chorus] Oh, mountain paradise awaits, A Colorado dream that won’t have to wait. A well in the ground, power at the line, A road to your future and a view that shines. Bring your blueprints, bring your family, Bring the life you always dreamed could be. Thirty-two point two-seven acres calling your name — Come build your story where the wild remains. [Outro] So take that road west of Antonito, Let the mountains show you the way. At Rito Hondo, your piece of heaven Could be waiting there today. Yeah, the gate is open… And mountain paradise awaits.
