Property Summary

Imagine a place where the world slows down, and the horizon is painted with endless mountain vistas. This 5.04-acre gem in the heart of Wild Horse Mesa is more than just land—it’s your canvas for an extraordinary off-grid lifestyle. Made up of two side-by-side 2.5-acre parcels, it offers flexibility for building or future expansion. The land slopes down gently away from the road, giving you a great spot for a cabin with views of the Sangre de Cristos and the Sanchez Reservoir. With no active HOA and no dues to pay, you’re free to craft your perfect retreat without restrictive rules. County-maintained roads provide year-round access, making it perfect for both a permanent residence and a weekend getaway spot. When you need to stock up on supplies, San Luis is a convenient 23 minutes away.

  • 5 acres in the Wild Horse Mesa area
  • Short term camping is allowed
  • Incredible views of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains and the Sanchez Reservoir
  • No HOA
  • Well-maintained roads for year-round accessibility

This property is currently off-grid, so you can live sustainably and be completely self-sufficient. If you would prefer to use solar power, you’re in luck – the San Luis Valley averages 350 days of sunshine per year! Most people out here haul water in, but you can drill a well. Bulk water is available for purchase at the Community Center water house on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays from 9 AM to noon, at a rate of $0.10 per gallon, with a maximum of 1,000 gallons per household per week. Additional water services are provided by the San Luis Water & Sanitation District and other local suppliers. The county maintains the roads, providing excellent access. This property was once part of a Homeowners Association (HOA), but it appears the HOA has since disbanded. While there are recorded covenants tied to the land, they are less restrictive than the county's zoning regulations. Best of all, there is no active HOA and no dues to worry about, allowing you to enjoy the property without extra obligations.

You won’t have to go far to experience a variety of outdoor adventures. About a mile away, the Sanchez Reservoir offers fishing, hiking, and the chance to watch wild horses roam freely. For more fishing opportunities, head to Mountain Home Reservoir in just 44 minutes or Smith Reservoir in 47 minutes. While hunting isn’t permitted on your own land, the Trinchera Ranch is a mere 46-minutes away, and provides excellent hunting and overnight stay options. San Luis, just 23 minutes away, has gas stations, stores, restaurants, and a medical center. For hospital services or an airport, Alamosa is conveniently located about an hour away. Enjoy the best of both worlds: secluded serenity and nearby essentials.

Are you ready to step away from the ordinary and into a world of breathtaking beauty and limitless potential? This Wild Horse Mesa property is your gateway to a unique off-grid lifestyle where every sunrise is a new beginning. The cash price is $15,997. We also offer easy owner financing with only $4,000 down, and $296.28/month for 54 months. Reach out today to start your Colorado mountain adventure!

Rachel made the entire land purchase a "piece of cake". She walked me through everything and was right on top of things. As soon as I sent the money, the deed was notarized and recorded only a couple of days later. I just visited my new property in Wolf Creek Montana today and I am very pleased with the purchase. Thank you again 😊

The Ashbrook Land Company is a superb company. Their communication skills and desire to help you obtain the land of your dreams is top notch. Probably some of the best service I’ve had when buying a piece of land. I would recommend them to anyone.

I just purchased a piece of land from Ashbrook Land Co., LLC, and I am very happy with the professional yet personal approach that Bob and Rachel Ashbrook gave to me.The whole process was easy and painless, and only took a couple of days. Everything was done online, but I felt completely secure giving out my personal information, because I think the Ashbrooks are truly honest people to deal with.
