5 Acres in Costilla County, CO - Expansive Views, Freedom, and Endless Possibility

Welcome to your Colorado escape-five full acres of untouched land in Costilla County with incredible mountain views, endless skies, and the freedom to create the lifestyle you've always dreamed about. Whether you're looking for a peaceful weekend retreat, a smart long-term investment, or a place to build your off-grid homestead, this 5.00-Acre parcel in the Rio Grande Ranches offers it all.

Tucked into the scenic landscape of southern Colorado and just minutes from the New Mexico border, this land is perfectly situated for anyone seeking space, privacy, and natural beauty. Imagine waking up to views of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, walking your land at sunset under wide-open skies, and breathing in crisp, clean air far from the hustle and noise of city life.

This is more than just land-it's a blank canvas for your vision.

Access to the property is easy and reliable, thanks to its location on Bannock Trail, a well-marked dirt road that puts you directly onto your lot without the need for easements or complicated directions. The terrain is flat and clear, with just enough light vegetation to offer shade and privacy without making development difficult. It's an ideal setup for RV use, camping, building, or simply holding as a long-term asset.

Zoned Estate Residential (Er), this property gives you maximum flexibility. You can build a stick-built home, place a manufactured home, set up a solar-powered tiny cabin, or bring your RV or camper for weekend adventures. Camping is allowed for up to 14 days every 90 days, and longer stays can be approved with a county permit. Whether you want to develop right away or take your time, you've got options and control.

The financing terms make this land even more appealing. You can secure this 5-acre property for just $129 down and a $249 one-time document fee. Monthly payments are only $129 for 72 months, with no credit checks, no banks, and no red tape. If you prefer to buy outright, a cash discount is available at $7,800. There are no back taxes, no HOA fees, and the annual property taxes are extremely low, making this an easy and affordable land investment.

Costilla County is one of Colorado's hidden gems-a place where land is still affordable, life moves at a slower pace, and natural beauty surrounds you at every turn. This property is only 15 minutes from the small town of Jaroso and under an hour from Alamosa, the region's main hub for shopping, dining, groceries, and supplies. Even though your land feels remote, you're never too far from what you need.

Nature lovers will appreciate how close this property is to outdoor recreation. The Rio Grande River is just minutes away, offering world-class fishing, kayaking, and wildlife spotting. Spend your days casting for trout, exploring riverside trails, or soaking in the serenity of the water. When the stars come out at night, you'll understand why people say this part of Colorado has some of the clearest skies in the country. Stargazing here is breathtaking. You'll see constellations, planets, and shooting stars like never before.

For those dreaming of living off the grid, this land is the perfect place to start. With wide-open exposure, solar panels will work efficiently, and the flat terrain makes it easy to build. You can drill a well or set up water delivery, install a composting toilet or septic system, and truly create a self-sufficient lifestyle. If you want to grow your own food, the soil supports basic gardening and small-scale farming. Raise chickens, plant vegetables, and live with full independence-this is land that supports your vision of freedom and sustainability.

This property is also ideal for anyone thinking about the future. Land is one of the most stable investments you can make, and properties in Costilla County are gaining value as more people discover the region's beauty and affordability. Whether you hold this land and sell it later, build and rent it out, or pass it down to the next generation, it's a smart move financially.

We've taken care of the hard parts. The title is clean. The taxes are current. The road is accessible. Everything is set up for you to succeed.

Imagine pulling onto your land after a long week, stepping out of your car, and hearing nothing but the wind and the birds. There's no traffic, no sirens, and no stress-just space, silence, and sky. Maybe you pitch a tent and watch the sun go down behind the peaks. Maybe you start sketching plans for your off-grid cabin. Maybe you simply walk the boundary and smile, knowing you own land in one of the most beautiful parts of the country.

People buy land for all kinds of reasons. Some want to invest. Some want to build. Some just want a place to escape to when the world feels too loud. This 5-acre parcel in Costilla County can be all those things and more. It's the kind of property that opens doors, creates options, and builds peace of mind.

And the best part? You can make it yours today with a down payment that costs less than a weekend hotel stay. No banks, no agents, no waiting-just a simple, honest path to ownership.
