NA , San Luis, CO 81152(Costilla County)

Expansive 37-acre parcel located in Melby Ranch North with gentle sloped terrain and thick natural brush across the entire property. Most of the vegetation is sagebrush and low shrub growth. It would need a cleared spot for camping or building. Our photographer noted that it looks like someone previously cleared an area and piled rocks to the side, but it has since grown back in sagebrush and would need to be cleared again.

How the Parcel Looks Up Close

On foot, the ground feels natural and raw. The soil is firm, with typical high-desert texture. There is no trash or debris anywhere on the property according to our photographer, which keeps this property clean and well cared for despite its untouched state.

Neighbors & Surroundings

The nearest visible neighbors are about 1 mile away, and they are in the process of building a nice home. Aside from that, the area remains mostly quiet ranch-style acreage. The region around the property consists of long tracts of similar land, dirt roads, and scattered brush, with no visible utilities in the immediate vicinity.

Road Access

The dirt road leading in is in good condition, but it is a true two-track road with shrubs growing in the center strip. Because of that, a small passenger car might take underside scrapes. Its recommended to use an SUV, Tacoma, Jeep, or anything with a bit more clearance. A Honda Civic can technically reach it, but the brush may cause damage underneath the vehicle.

Cell Service

There is limited cell reception here. Our photographer reported one bar of T-Mobile on the property.

Utilities

Water would be by well. A septic system can be installed. Power would come from solar or a generator since no visible lines are anywhere nearby. Power lines run far out near County Rd P and Highway 159, roughly 12,000 feet away.

Ranching & Hunting

Your have a big of space for horses, goats, chickens, or other animals, and the natural sagebrush terrain provides a classic high-desert ranch setting. The gentle slope and long stretches of usable ground make it easy to carve out areas for corrals, barns, grazing zones, or future pastures. Hunting is also allowed here too giving you the freedom to use the land for both recreation and livestock without the strict limitations found in other areas.
