4.73-Acre San Luis Valley Ranch in Blanca, CO — $193/mo, Sangre de Cristo Views

County & State

Costilla, Colorado

Acreage

4.73

Zoning

Agricultural Residential

Property Use

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

Description
Big-sky country in San Luis Valley Ranches Unit G, with the Sangre de Cristo Mountains stacked up on the eastern horizon and Blanca Peak rising 14,000 feet above the valley floor. Sitting at almost 7,800 feet of elevation, the air is thin, the silence is real, and the night sky shows you stars you forgot existed. Blanca and Fort Garland are both quick runs into town for groceries and gas; Alamosa and the dunes of Great Sand Dunes National Park are about 40 minutes west. Costilla County zoning allows a single-family, modular, manufactured, or mobile home on a septic system, plus part-time RV camping. Off-grid setup — well or cistern, solar or wind — and no HOA dictating what you do. Send us a message and we'll walk you through next steps.
