5.46 Acres in the foothills of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains with an unfinished tiny home equipped with solar and a fully installed and permitted septic system. The property has excellent road access, a driveway, surveyed plat map, and outstanding western views overlooking the San Luis Valley. OWNER FINANCING AVAILABLE WITH $10,000 DOWN - CONTACT US FOR DETAILS! Much of the hard work has been done and would be an excellent value proposition for someone willing to put in a little elbow grease to reach its full potential. Would make an excellent residence, off-grid homestead, hunting cabin, or seasonal getaway. Alamosa (pop. 10,000), the commercial center of the San Luis Valley, is only 45 minutes. San Luis and Fort Garland, smaller towns with basic amenities, are 15-20 minutes away. Other potential uses that are a hobby farm or other agricultural uses, an RV or camping spot, ATV riding, a bugout spot, or simply to hold as a long-term asset or inflation hedge.
