High Elevation Mountain Perch
Gardiner Rd : Fort Garland, CO 81133
Costilla County, Colorado
Land Description
Sitting high, 9,980 ft, in the Sangre de Cristo Ranches sits the perfect perch. This secluded outlook is located south of Ojito Peak and west of Trinchera and Teddy's Peak. You will be surrounded by mountain splendor. There isn't a soul around and all 8.83 acres is yours. All you will hear is the wind and the wildlife. No cabins, tenters, traffic, noise or light to pollute the area.
There is literally a driveway and clearing cut into the side of the mountain to camp or build. The view is surreal and the feeling of being on top of the world is unmatched. I took pictures and drone footage of the property myself and it took my breath away to stand and look out over all that Colorado is famous for. Looking out over endless mountain forestry, the wooded peaks and valleys makes you feel a bit closer to heaven at that angle.
Gardinier Rd., off Batenburg Rd., leads you to your newly installed driveway. Fort Garland is a 25 minute jaunt down the mountain. Here you can find all the immediate necessities for off-grid living. There are gas stations, a hardware store, Dollar General, and a few local restaurants. Alamosa is 45 minutes further west and provides small city amenities such as big-box stores, WalMart, Ace, and Big R. There is shopping, local boutiques, eateries, fast-food chains, and hotels. The local history is colorful and captivating. Visit the museums, the artisan shops, and local festivals. I don't miss the farmers market every Saturday morning all summer long.
This area is unique in that it offers rare attractions such as the Great Sand Dunes, Zapata Falls (a waterfall in the middle of the desert) and natural hot springs to soak in.
These mountain communities welcome off-gridders, boondockers, dry campers, hippies, neo-hippies, bohemians, naturalists, the business guy that wants to relax on the weekends, the family that hikes together, the rad bro with the jacked up Jeep, the climber with a canvas tent, etc. You get the idea.
