Mountain Views Peace and Freedom

Land Description

Looking for land where you can breathe again? Land where the views are endless, the rules are minimal, and the possibilities are wide open? This 5-acre parcel in Costilla County, Colorado, offers all that and more. Whether you're a dreamer, doer, builder, or investor, this property checks the boxes.

This land sits in the heart of the Rio Grande Ranches subdivision, just outside San Luis-the oldest town in Colorado. The area is rich in history, yet quiet and untouched. You won't find traffic, noise, or city lights here. Instead, you get starry skies, wide-open desert terrain, and long views of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. It's raw, it's peaceful, and it's ready for whatever you envision.

The property is zoned Estate Residential (Er), which allows for a single-family home. Whether that's a stick-built house, an off-grid cabin, or a future retirement home is up to you. There's no HOA breathing down your neck. You can build now, build later, or simply hold the land as an appreciating asset. The county allows short-term camping for up to 14 days every three months. Want to bring an RV? You can do that too-with the right permit, you can stay for 90 days at a time, renewable up to 18 months. It's your land, your rules-as long as you keep things within the county guidelines.

This parcel has road access via Navajo Trail. It's unpaved, but easily drivable with a truck or Suv. The lot is square and flat with some natural slope. No utilities are currently connected, which means it's perfect for off-grid living. You can haul water or drill a well. You'll need a septic system for waste. Solar, wind, or a generator will keep the lights on. Propane handles your cooking and heating needs. It's a blank canvas-and a clean one.

Location-wise, you're just 33 minutes from San Luis for basic services, and an hour from Alamosa, where you'll find groceries, restaurants, gas stations, and even a Walmart. The New Mexico border is right down the road, and the drive to Taos is beautiful. If you're a nature lover, you'll be surrounded by attractions like Cano's Castle, the Great Sand Dunes, Mountain Home Reservoir, and Fort Garland. This is a land of exploration and solitude.

At just over 7,500 feet elevation, the air is clean and crisp. Summers are mild, and winters bring a touch of snow-just enough to remind you you're in the Rockies. There's no fencing or major improvements on the lot, which keeps the price down and the options open. There are a few light bushes and natural features, but the terrain is mostly clear and buildable. You're not in a flood zone, and the views are unreal-mountains to the north, big sky all around, and silence you can feel.

Your neighbors? Not many. This area is sparsely populated with a mix of off-grid homesteads, land investors, and dreamers like you. The property borders other private landowners, but there's plenty of space in between. It's rural, but not remote. You can disappear here if you want to, or plug in to small-town life nearby.

From an investment standpoint, this property makes a lot of sense. The assessed value is $1,339 and annual taxes are just $72.28. There are no back taxes, no liens, and no HOA dues. It's clean title, ready to transfer, and ready for a new owner. Whether you're buying to build, to hold, or to flip, this land gives you real value and real flexibility.

Financing is available if you need it. We work with buyers from all walks of life, and we believe land ownership should be simple, affordable, and empowering. This isn't just a transaction-it's a chance to create something that lasts. A place to build memories, build wealth, or just build a fire and watch the stars.

If you've been waiting for the right parcel to come along, this might be it. The size is right. The price is right. And the location is perfect for someone who wants freedom, nature, and space to dream. We're a small, family-run company, and we take pride in offering land that we'd buy ourselves. No pressure, no gimmicks, just honest land and real conversations.

Reach out to learn more. We'd love to show you the map, the plat, and the process. You don't need to be an expert. We'll walk you through it all. What you do need is the willingness to take a small step toward something big. This land is ready when you are.
