This great property is located in the Trinchera Creek Estates subdivision of Blanca. The land is also located just a few miles away from 17,000 acres bordering the Rio Grande River set aside by the State of Colorado for hunting, hiking, and backcountry camping. The area known as the Brownie Hills is now also known as the San Luis Hills Wildlife Area (established in 2018). There is no existing HOA in this subdivision; only Costilla County Planning and Zoning guidelines apply. If you decide to build, a septic system and permanent water source cistern needs to be installed before building (this lot is not eligible for a water well, but water cisterns are very common in Costilla County; you can purchase water for just 10 cents per gallon in Fort Garland and haul it out (or hire someone local to haul it out), and/or build a water catchment system). Homes need to be a minimum of 600 square feet in size, with most home types permitted. Power would need to be by solar, wind, gas/propane generator, or a combination of any of these three. Heating a home in winter would be by a propane heating system and/or a wood burning furnace. There is no time limit to build. You can camp on this land for 14 days every 3 months without a camping permit. You can purchase a long-term camping permit from the County once you have a septic system and permanent water source installed.
