5 Acres Mountain Views, Near Rive
Mesa, CO 81152
Costilla County, Colorado
Land Description
Unlock peace, privacy, and mountain views on this expansive 5-acre parcel in the sought-after Rio Grande Ranches subdivision of Costilla County, Colorado. Situated off Acoma Trail, this flat and buildable lot offers unbeatable access and a prime opportunity for anyone looking to invest in rural Colorado land-with zoning that supports both full-time living and recreational use.
Located just 20 miles from the historic town of Manassa and less than an hour from Alamosa, this property strikes the perfect balance between remoteness and convenience. With Estate Residential zoning (Er), you're free to build a permanent home, set up a seasonal retreat, or camp under the stars on a temporary basis. Manufactured homes, modular units, and tiny houses are allowed. RVs are welcome for temporary stays, and camping is permitted for up to 14 days every three months without a permit-perfect for weekend getaways or staging your build.
But what makes this lot truly special is its breathtaking backdrop. Picture waking up each morning to wide-open skies and a panoramic view of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. With mostly cleared terrain and light desert vegetation, the land is development-ready with minimal grading or site work needed. Utilities are off-grid-making solar, wind, or generator solutions ideal for those seeking self-sufficiency and independence. Water can be hauled or obtained by drilling a well (permits required), and septic will be needed for residential builds.
Nature lovers will be thrilled with the location: the Rio Grande River is just a short distance away, offering fishing, kayaking, birdwatching, and tranquil sunset views. You're also just a drive away from some of Colorado's most celebrated outdoor destinations. Hike the dunes at Great Sand Dunes National Park, fish the nearby reservoirs, or explore the unique cultural and historical attractions in San Luis, the oldest town in Colorado.
This 5-acre lot is part of a growing rural market, with nearby parcels appreciating as more buyers seek affordable land and freedom outside the city. At just $7,900 cash or flexible owner financing terms-$100 down, $249 doc fee, and $199/Month for 52 months-this property offers entry-level affordability with long-term upside. Wholesale pricing is also available for investors seeking portfolio lots.
