5Ac Treasure in CO: Secluded, Scenic & Ready to Grow in Value
Land isnt making a comeback---because it never left. And 5.139 acres like this in Costilla County dont just get bought they get claimed. This is the kind of parcel savvy investors quietly scoop up before anyone else catches on.
Accessible via county-maintained Platten Rd, this property offers what most cant: true privacy with no close neighbors, a south-facing slope perfect for solar, and a seasonal creek bed that adds natural character and value. Zoned Estate Residential (ER), its flexible enough for multiple exit strategies---hold long-term, flip after improvements, or build something beautiful and profitable.
Allowed uses include single-family homes (600 sq ft min), modern mobile homes (post-1976), tiny homes (600+ sq ft), and short-term vacation rentals. RV & camping are also allowed 14 days per quarter without septic---a great perk to market future builds or retreats.
Only 14 mi...
Only 14 minutes to Fort Garland for essentials and 2 hours to Colorado Springs. Local hot spots like Great Sand Dunes National Park (37 min), Zapata Falls (41 min), Rito Seco Park (35 min), UFO Watchtower (58 min), and Blanca Peak surround this parcel driving tourism and demand year after year.
