This lovely lot is located in the lush Forbes Park gated community, just 16 miles outside Fort Garland. Your 2.07 acres of Costilla County sits east of Mount Blanca, and just below the Missouri Creek. A forest fire set the property alight in 2018, but life always finds a way, and the grasses and flowers are making a comeback. Whether you're looking to build your dream holiday home, or to relocate to the wild; the diverse and natural beauty of Colorado's Costilla County offers a little something for everyone.

Costilla County and its surrounds are a true natural playground. The diverse landscape ranges from wetlands and grasslands to lakes and aspen forests. If you want to connect with nature, you could hardly find a better spot. Hiking, rock climbing, canyoning, and sandboarding are just a few ways to raise the heart rate. Love to fish? The reservoirs are teeming with walleye, pike, bass, and trout. Elk, deer, antelope, bears and even mountain lions are found in this part of the state, and a woodsman (or woman.) could hardly find a better home. The area attracts big game hunters from all over the country thanks in part to the variety of habitats on offer. Mt. Blanca stands 14,345 feet at its peak and is the 4th highest mountain in Colorado. Great Sand Dunes National Park (just 46 miles away), is home to the tallest dunes in North America and offers an unforgettable sandboarding adventure. It's also a fantastic spot for stargazers, and a walk on the dunes on a clear, moonlit night is an unforgettable experience.

Let your adventurous side loose and break ground on a dream in Costilla County. Whether you're a thrill seeker, bear wrestler, stargazer or doomsday prepper; you may have just found your perfect plot. Picture yourself under a bright full moon, listening for owls and searching for alien spacecraft (several sightings have been reported around Mt. Blanc you know). Sounds good?
