Detailed Info About this Parcel
Terrain & Build: The parcel has a slope typical of the Sangre de Cristo foothills. Building a residence requires a Minor Development Permit, Land Use Permit for Construction, sewage disposal permit, and a Road Access Permit where applicable. Minimum dwelling size is 600 sq ft, with setbacks of 20 ft front, 5 ft side, and 25 ft rear; maximum height is 35 ft / 2 stories. Manufactured homes from 1976 or newer are permitted with HUD and Colorado Department of Housing documentation. Accessory structures cannot be the first structure built on a vacant parcel — a primary residence must be permitted or under construction first.
Utilities & Access: The parcel is reached by dirt road. There is no electricity on or near the site, making it a natural fit for solar or other off-grid power solutions. Water requires a private well. No septic system is installed; an on-site wastewater treatment system (OWTS) would be required for any permanent residence.
The Setting: Costilla County is one of Colorado’s southernmost counties, sharing a border with New Mexico. The broad San Luis Valley stretches to the west, with the Sangre de Cristo peaks rising sharply to the east. Fort Garland — a small community with gas, groceries, and basic services — is about 23 miles away. The historic town of San Luis, Colorado’s oldest incorporated municipality, is roughly 37 minutes south. Alamosa, the region’s main commercial center, is about 48 minutes away.
Camping: You may camp on the land for up to 14 days during any consecutive 3-month period without a permit. Extended stays require a Long-term Camping Permit from the Costilla County Planning Department.
