This 6.5-acre parcel in the Sangre de Cristo Ranches offers a peaceful mountain setting with room to spread out and enjoy nature. The property sits within a designated Dark Sky Sanctuary, giving you clear, star-filled nights that are perfect for anyone who loves the outdoors. The land is sloped, but there are multiple open, usable areas suitable for camping or creating a future build site with excavation. A seasonal water drainage runs along the lower portion of the property, adding character to the landscape and attracting local wildlife—signs of deer and other animals are common throughout the area. This is an off-grid property. Future development would require solar or generator power, along with a septic system and a well or cistern for water. The lot is governed by Costilla County building regulations, with no HOA restrictions in this section of the ranches. Convenient distances to nearby destinations include: Fort Garland – 21 minutes Mountain Home Reservoir – 27 minutes Smith Reservoir – 27 minutes Great Sand Dunes National Park – 45 minutes Zapata Falls – 50 minutes Alamosa – 48 minutes For those seeking a private getaway spot with mountain views, quiet surroundings, and Colorado wilderness right outside your door, this property offers a great starting point.
