This 4.35-acre parcel in Costilla County offers practical advantages that make it stand out: power lines run only 1/4 mile from the property boundary, maintained county roads provide year-round access, and San Luis is just 5 minutes away for supplies and services. With no HOA restrictions and the freedom to camp temporarily while you plan your build, this property gives you flexibility that's increasingly hard to find.

Property Highlights:

The property sits on relatively flat terrain with low vegetation, making site preparation straightforward whether you're planning to build or set up a temporary RV camp. State Highway 159 is under a mile away, connecting you to regional amenities while keeping the property itself quiet and removed from through-traffic.

From the property, you'll have clear views of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, with Culebra Peak visible to the east and Blanca Peak to the north. These aren't distant mountain views—they're the backdrop to your daily experience here.

Key Features:

• 4.35 acres with level, easily accessible terrain
• Power lines only 1/4 mile from property boundary
• Maintained county roads (East King Drive) provide year-round access
• 5 minutes to San Luis for groceries, hardware, and basic services
• State Highway 159 under 1 mile away
• No HOA or building restrictions
• Temporary RV camping allowed while planning your build
• Low vegetation simplifies site preparation
• Clear mountain views of Sangre de Cristo range

Location & Access:

San Luis, Colorado's oldest town, is 5 minutes away and provides essential services including a grocery store, hardware store, and medical clinic. For more extensive shopping and services, Alamosa is 45 minutes north with everything from major retailers to hospital facilities.

Access to the property is via maintained East King Drive, with State Highway 159 less than a mile away providing paved road access to the general area. The county maintains these roads year-round, though winter weather can occasionally affect travel times as with any mountain property.

Utilities & Development:

This property is currently off-grid, but with power lines running 1/4 mile away, connecting to electricity is more feasible here than many rural properties. For water, you'll need to either drill a well (typical depths in this area run 100-200 feet based on neighboring properties) or haul water. A septic system will be required for permanent structures.

The flat terrain and low vegetation make this property easier to develop than many mountain parcels. Whether you're planning a permanent home, a weekend cabin, or want to use an RV while you build, the lack of HOA restrictions gives you the flexibility to develop on your timeline.

Recreation & Surroundings:

The Great Sand Dunes National Park is only 40 minutes away, offering unique hiking and sandboarding opportunities. For water-based recreation, Sanchez Reservoir (22 minutes) and Smith Reservoir (23 minutes) provide fishing and boating access. The Spanish Peaks Wilderness, about an hour away, offers more extensive hiking and backcountry exploration.

The property's location in Costilla County places you in Colorado's high mountain valley with four distinct seasons. Summers are mild with cool nights, while winters bring snow that typically melts within a few days in the valley floor areas. The high elevation (approximately 7,800 feet) means intense sunshine and low humidity year-round.

Zoning & Regulations:

The property carries Estate Residential zoning with no HOA or POA restrictions. This gives you broad flexibility in how you use and develop the land, from traditional stick-built homes to alternative structures, with no architectural review committee to navigate. Temporary RV camping is permitted, making this practical for weekend use or while planning a future build.
