The level terrain with low vegetation makes this parcel easier to develop than typical mountain properties. Maintained county roads provide year-round access via East King Drive, with State Highway 159 less than a mile away. From the property, you'll have clear views of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, including Culebra Peak to the east and Blanca Peak to the north.

With no HOA or building restrictions, you have complete flexibility in how you use the land. The zoning allows temporary RV camping, making this practical for weekend getaways or while you plan a future build. Whether you're interested in a permanent home, weekend cabin, or holding land as an investment, this property gives you options without the oversight of an architectural review committee.

Location & Access:

San Luis provides essential services 5 minutes away, while Alamosa (45 minutes north) offers more extensive shopping, hospital facilities, and major retailers. The property's location in the San Luis Valley places you between the Sangre de Cristo Range to the east and the San Juan Mountains to the west, with the Great Sand Dunes National Park 40 minutes away.

For recreation, Sanchez Reservoir and Smith Reservoir are both about 20-25 minutes away for fishing and boating. The Spanish Peaks Wilderness is approximately an hour's drive for more extensive hiking and backcountry access. The area's high elevation (around 7,800 feet) provides four distinct seasons with mild summers, snowy winters, and over 300 days of sunshine annually.

Development Considerations:

This is currently an off-grid property, though power availability only mile away makes connection more feasible than most rural land. For water, you'll need to drill a well (typical depths in the area run 100-200 feet based on neighboring properties) or haul water. A septic system will be required for any permanent structures.

The flat terrain and sparse vegetation reduce site preparation costs compared to heavily wooded or steep mountain properties. County regulations are straightforward, and without HOA restrictions, you can develop according to your timeline and vision rather than navigating architectural committee approvals.

Investment Perspective:

Costilla County has seen increased interest from buyers seeking affordable Colorado land with mountain access and views. This property's combination of proximity to utilities, easy access, and lack of restrictions makes it more versatile than many comparably priced parcels. Whether you're planning to build immediately, use it recreationally while you save for construction, or hold it as an investment, the property's practical advantages give you flexibility.

The low carrying costs (property taxes under $20/year) make this feasible to hold long-term if you're not ready to develop immediately. Contact us to discuss financing options that can make monthly payments fit comfortably within most budgets.
