Ridgeway Dr , San Luis, CO 81152(Costilla County)

This 1.06-acre property in Costilla County, Colorado, sits just far enough from the world to feel completely yours, but close enough to the water to make every weekend something special. Here, mountain views meet the shimmer of the reservoir, and the silence isnt empty its full of peace, reflection, and freedom.

Where the Mountains Meet the Water

The land itself feels like something out of an old western open, calm, and quietly beautiful. Its gently rolling, with a soft natural rise that gives you long views toward the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. Scattered trees break up the landscape, offering little pockets of shade and privacy.

And then theres the best part: the water is close. Sanchez Reservoir is just 4 miles away an easy drive down a dirt road that feels more like a slow exhale than a commute. Its rare to find land in this part of Colorado where you can reach water this easily. That proximity alone makes this property stand out from hundreds of others.

At the reservoir, locals come for quiet mornings and golden evenings. Youll see people casting for northern pike, kayaking through still water, or just sitting on the bank with a book and a thermos of coffee. When the sun sets, the reflection turns the whole lake to gold, and the sound of the wind moving across the hills feels almost like music.

Thats what life looks like when you trade noise for nature.

Peace You Can Feel

At 8,694 feet above sea level, this part of southern Colorado has a stillness thats hard to explain until you experience it. The air feels cleaner, the light sharper, and even your thoughts seem to slow down a little. The dirt road that leads to the property winds gently across the landscape, rising and falling with the rhythm of the hills.

By the time you pull up, theres no noise left in your head just space, and the quiet understanding that this is what freedom sounds like.

This property doesnt ask for much. Its low-maintenance, honest land. You can visit on weekends, camp beneath the stars, or just sit and watch the shadows move across the mountains. Theres no HOA, no noise, no pressure just the satisfaction of knowing you have your own corner of peace near the water.
