Located in a tranquil part of southern Colorado, this flat, buildable lot is ideal for someone who values independence, nature, and off-grid living. Whether you're planning to build your dream cabin, set up a mobile home, live in an RV, or develop a self-sustaining homestead, this lot provides the flexibility to create your future without compromise. With no homeowners' association, no zoning restrictions, and no building timelines, you're in complete control of what and when you build.

Accessing the land is easy, thanks to its location right off Leslie Road, a quiet dirt road that ensures privacy while maintaining convenience. Just a short drive from US HWY-285 and RT-142, you're within reach of nearby towns for shopping, dining, and essential services. That perfect balance between isolation and accessibility makes this property an excellent fit for both weekend escapes and full-time living.

The beauty of Costilla County is more than just the land itself it's the stunning, uninterrupted views of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, the fresh, clean air, and the chance to watch deer grazing at sunrise or stargaze without light pollution at night. This property gives you front-row access to natures wonders every single day.

Colorados Costilla County is known for its serene desert environment, historical charm, and recreational diversity. If you enjoy outdoor activities like hiking, fishing, camping, and wildlife photography, this location will be your personal paradise. You'll be just a short drive from the breathtaking Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve - a massive expanse of towering dunes nestled against the mountains where you can hike, sled, and explore to your hearts content.

Also nearby is the Fort Garland Museum & Cultural Center, where history buffs can walk in the footsteps of frontiersmen and learn more about Colorados past. For family outings or quiet afternoons, Kit Carson Park offers a green, shaded oasis in the nearby town of Alamosa. And if you're looking for even more adventure, the San Isabel and Rio Grande National Forests are both within reach, providing endless opportunities for backpacking, hunting, and reconnecting with the land.

But the beauty of owning this land isn't just in what you can do outside it's about the life you can build. This is a place to plant a garden and grow your own food, collect solar energy, and build rainwater harvesting systems. It's a place where your creativity and resourcefulness can flourish. Whether you're an experienced homesteader or a beginner eager to try something new, this property can serve as your launchpad into a lifestyle of independence and sustainability.

With over five acres to work with, you'll have space for everything from small-scale farming and animal husbandry to building a greenhouse or workshop. Want a separate guest cabin or an artist's studio? No problem. You're only limited by your imagination. You can fence off areas for goats or chickens, dig a well, or create walking paths that wind through your own private desert oasis.

The peacefulness here is hard to describe unless you've stood in the middle of it. You can hear the breeze whispering through the brush, see hawks soaring overhead, and feel the sun warm your face without the hum of traffic or chatter of neighbors nearby. Its a sensory reset in a world that rarely slows down. And yet, when you need to re-enter society, cities like Alamosa, Colorado Springs, and even Denver are all within driving distance.

Another great feature of this land is its investment potential. As remote work and off-grid living become more appealing to people across the country, rural properties in scenic areas are increasing in value. Purchasing land now not only secures your place in a beautiful and desirable region but also offers the possibility of a solid return on investment should you choose to sell or lease it in the future.

And you don't need to commit to full-time living right away. Many buyers choose to start small using the land for seasonal camping trips or weekend getaways and gradually develop it into something more permanent over time. There's no rush. You own the land outright, and you get to decide the pace of progress.

When it comes to logistics, setting up utilities and infrastructure in Costilla County is refreshingly doable. Many residents rely on solar energy and water cisterns, and affordable septic solutions are available. Cell service is accessible in the area, and satellite internet options mean you can stay connected even while you live remotely.

This parcel is part of the San Luis Valley, one of the most striking and historically rich regions in Colorado. The valley stretches for over 8,000 square miles and is home to a vibrant ecosystem of desert, wetlands, and alpine environments. It's no surprise that many who visit this region choose never to leave.

In addition to the awe-inspiring scenery, Costilla County itself is known for its welcoming, rural community vibe. It's the kind of place where people wave when they drive by, where local farmers markets and seasonal events bring people together, and where you can truly unplug from the stress of urban life.

The affordability of this property is also a major bonus. Compared to urban real estate prices or even land in more densely populated parts of Colorado, Costilla County offers exceptional value. You're getting over five acres of raw, buildable land for a fraction of what you'd pay elsewhere and you don't have to sacrifice beauty, location, or opportunity.

This kind of freedom is becoming increasingly rare. In many parts of the country, land ownership comes with layers of restrictions, expensive permits, and HOA rules that limit your creativity. Here, you have autonomy. You can live in a yurt if you want to. You can build an Earthship, plant an orchard, or just park your RV and enjoy the silence. No one's telling you how to live.

For those with a vision, this land can be a sanctuary. It can be a creative project, a retirement escape, a family legacy, or the beginning of a new chapter altogether. Whether you're looking to invest in your future or simply find a place where you can breathe, think, and dream, this 5.013-acre parcel invites you to imagine a different kind of life and then make it real.

So, if you're tired of noise, rules, and crowded spaces, this land is your opportunity to reclaim your time, your space, and your dreams. The land is ready - flat, accessible, and waiting for someone who sees its potential. All it needs is you.

Don't let this chance slip by. Reach out today to learn more about this Costilla County gem and take the first step toward building the lifestyle you've always wanted.
