4.67 Acres in San Luis North Estates, CO — $167/mo Owner Financed

County & State

Costilla, Colorado

Acreage

4.67

Zoning

Estate Residential

Property Use

Manufactured Homes Allowed, Mobile Homes Allowed, Modular Homes Allowed, Off the Grid, Part-Time Camping Allowed

Description
Three contiguous lots combined into one rectangular ranch in San Luis North Estates Filing 4, just outside Fort Garland. At over 8,000 feet elevation, you'll see the Sangres reach up to the north and feel the kind of quiet that you can only buy with real distance from the highway. Fort Garland is the closest town for fuel and supplies; Alamosa is about 35 minutes west, and Great Sand Dunes National Park is close to an hour. Costilla County Estate Residential zoning allows a single-family, modular, manufactured, or mobile home with a septic system — plus short RV camping stays (up to 14 days in any three consecutive months) and RV living during construction only under the county's separate temporary RV permit. The water plan is a well or cistern, the power plan is solar, wind, or generator, and the HOA plan is simple: there isn't one. Drop us a line whenever you're ready to take a look.
