Welcome to Skyko 1, a welcoming Index-area community where this 0.2-acre lot offers a real starting point for a home of your own. There are no HOA rules to work around, so the plans are yours to shape. A well and pump are already in place. The lot also comes with an expired three-bedroom septic design and a home placement plan that meets all setbacks, so some of the planning is already documented. The well sits on a neighboring parcel under a recorded easement, which gives this lot an established water source. That same neighboring property holds an easement here for its reserve septic. The setting is what makes Index worth the trip. Rock climbing, whitewater, fishing, hiking, and biking are all close by, the kind of outdoor access people go out of their way to reach. This is a quiet, buildable lot in a place that rewards showing up.
