Tall Tree Mountain Hideaway
Larry Place : Fort Garland, CO 81133
Costilla County, Colorado

Land Description
This heavily wooded, mountain land is begging for a cabin among the trees. Drive up 9500 feet of the Sangre De Cristo Mountain range to your private Colorado home. This landscape perfectly protects you from the chaos of the city, the noise, the light, the traffic. You will have peace and quiet in your new mountain get away. Live off-grid with a simpler, stress-free, healthier lifestyle. Slow down and enjoy nature and wildlife. Wild horses, deer, elk, antelope, rabbits, and bear roam the area.
This land sits in Forbes Park at the base of Raspberry Peak. Fort Garland is 22 miles from the property which provides all your immediate necessities and Alamosa is just an hour. Alamosa has a population of 10,000 and has medical facilities, shopping, restaurants, hotels, entertainment, etc. This location gives you the seclusion you are looking for with the modern amenities just down the road.
The San Luis Valley is full of outdoor activities. The Great Sand Dunes, a world-famous attraction, offer sand sledding all summer and snow sledding all winter. Medano creek below the dunes gives tourists a way to cool off and splash in the water. At night the dunes become an observatory to the stars. Labeled a Dark Sky Park, the area is one of the darkest, unpolluted areas to see space and more stars than you've ever seen before. Zapata Falls is a 30 ft waterfall that is accessed from a short hike off HWY 150. There are 4 miles of hiking and biking trails below the parking area. The falls are so impressive in the winter when the water freezes into ice sculptures. Mt. Blanca and Mt. Lindsey are Colorado 14ers in your front yard. If you are a hiker or climber, this is a great challenge and one that climbers from all over the country come to take. The Rio Grande River runs through the valley and many reservoirs are scattered throughout the valley offering swimming, kayaking, rafting, boating, tubing, fishing, etc. Snow skiing in Taos is 2 hours south. So much to do.
Colorado Springs is 2hrs and 30 min north and Albuquerque is 4hrs and 20 min south. It's less than a half days drive to the big city for cups of coffee and road rage traffic, if you need that sort of thing.
