A 56-acre ranch homestead on the Piedra River, cut into a one-minute-twenty-nine-second listing video. This is a finished film exactly as it was delivered: nothing here was re-graded or shortened for the website.
12248 USFS 613, Arboles, Colorado · 56-acre Piedra River ranch homestead · running time 1 minute 29 seconds · published on this site 17 June 2026.
Two deeded parcels totalling about 56 acres in the Fosset Gulch valley, roughly six miles north of the town of Arboles in Archuleta County, Colorado, and about four miles north of Navajo Lake and Navajo State Park. The address is on USFS 613, the dirt Forest Service road also known as Fosset Gulch Road, inside the checkerboard of private ground and San Juan National Forest.
The buildings are a white farmhouse under a rusted metal roof and an antler-gable barn that is the most recognisable thing on the place. The land runs from irrigated green bottomland along the Piedra River up through dry sage pasture to a long juniper strip climbing toward the San Juan foothills. Chimney Rock sits on the horizon in several of the shots. Black Angus cattle were grazing the meadow the morning it was flown.
Eighty-nine seconds at 24 frames per second, cut to a single 100 BPM instrumental so that every edit lands on the music rather than on a stopwatch. It opens on a rising pull-back that reveals the whole homestead (meadow, river bottom, the San Juan range behind) and titles the address over that first shot. From there: the barn, the farmhouse, a Four Corners locator map, the back of the parcel rising into the foothills, the irrigated bottomland, the river, the cattle, and then a satellite map with the actual 56-acre parcel boundary drawn on it.
The boundary on that map is real. It comes from Archuleta County's published parcel geometry, not from a shape traced by eye, which is why the map can carry the acreage as a caption. The film closes on a calm sequence of the Piedra River running past the homestead, with the end card fading in over it. Acreage is the only number shown on screen; the price is not.
The footage was captured at 48 frames per second and conformed to 24 by blending frame pairs, so the motion carries a true 180-degree shutter blur instead of the strobe you get from dropping every other frame. Small thing, and the reason the aerials feel like film rather than like a drone clip.
Two 4K cuts, the way every ORBITH EDIT order goes out: a branded version ending on the agent and brokerage card, and an unbranded version that runs clean to the music fade for MLS use, where agent branding is not allowed. Both stream from a single share link and can be downloaded.
This one was flown and edited by ORBITH. Most orders are not: the usual path is a listing link or a folder of listing photos, and the same edit runs on stills alone. The aerial films are here because they show the ceiling of what the process produces when there is footage to work with.
The other finished example on this site is 4564 Middle Mountain Road, Vallecito Lake, Colorado, a log cabin with interiors as well as aerials.
