Five acres sitting directly at the base of Mount Blanca with a 2022-built 40x13 shed already on the property. The heavy lifting is done here. A driveway is cut in, a permitted septic system is installed, and a cistern is in the ground. The shed interior is framed but unfinished, giving a buyer a clean slate to wire and finish it out as an off-grid cabin, a staging ground, or a place to stay while building a larger home.
This is a designated Dark Sky Sanctuary. The nights are clear and wall-to-wall with stars, and the days come with direct, unobstructed views of one of Colorado's fourteeners right from the property line. The land falls under Costilla County building regulations with no HOA restrictions to navigate. The property is off-grid, making solar or a generator the recommended power setup.
The location puts you within quick reach of the region's best outdoor access. Blanca is 10 minutes out for local stops. Smith Reservoir is an 18-minute drive. Great Sand Dunes National Park is 21 minutes north. Mountain Home Reservoir is 24 minutes away, and Zapata Falls is 25 minutes. Alamosa covers major groceries and hardware in 22 minutes.
With the driveway, septic, and cistern already in place, this parcel delivers immediate value that raw, unimproved land cannot match. You can pull up and use it on day one while you plan the interior. Contact the listing broker for GPS coordinates, the parcel map, and access details.
