About The
Grants
The Grants, located between Crestone Peak and the Great Sand Dunes, is a rural and artsy Crestone neighborhood with wide-open high-desert views and dark-sky nights. Character concentrates around the junction of Galena Avenue and Cottonwood Street, where small galleries, a post office counter, and low-key gathering spots set the town’s unhurried pace. Adobe-style homes, cabins, and simple modern builds sit on larger lots with native landscaping and big horizons. Crestone Artisans Gallery anchors the local maker scene, while the Crestone Mercantile supplies daily essentials with a bulletin-board pulse. The Crestone Music Festival brings seasonal energy to the valley, and nearby trailheads point toward Sangre de Cristo foothills.
