Mountain and valley viewsFlat sandy terrainDark night skiesYear-round accessCounty-maintained dirt-road access
Seller motivated: 5.05 flat acres near Fort Garland with no HOA, county-maintained dirt-road access, and a practical off-grid setup in Southern Colorado. This parcel is a strong fit for buyers looking for breathing room, mountain and valley views, dark night skies, and an affordable place to plan a future basecamp, weekend retreat, or long-term land hold.
The land sits around 8,000 feet with flat, sandy terrain and no trees, making it easier to walk, visualize, camp, stage equipment, and plan future improvements than steeper or heavily wooded ground. Access is by dirt road with county maintenance reported, year-round access noted, and no 4x4 requirement reported under normal conditions. No driveway is installed and no official address is assigned, so buyers should use GPS coordinates and parcel mapping when evaluating the property.
Zoned Rural Residential in Costilla County, with no HOA and a reported 600 sq ft minimum build size per county guidance. No power, water, septic, or sewer is currently on-site, giving buyers a blank-slate off-grid setup to design around their own plans. Buyer should verify well/cistern, solar, septic, internet, zoning, access, and intended use. Property was acquired by Treasurer’s Deed in 2021; buyer should confirm title insurability, quiet-title options, and closing requirements with a title company or attorney.
Approximate driving distances from the GPS point: 5 miles to Fort Garland, 4 miles to Mountain Home Reservoir, 10 miles to Blanca, 13 miles to San Luis, 35 miles to Great Sand Dunes National Park, 36 miles to Alamosa, and 48 miles to Sand Dunes Recreation. Request the parcel map, GPS coordinates, access notes, and county verification items to evaluate this acreage with confidence.
