Mt. Blanca-Facing Cabin Site on a Quiet Stretch of Sauder Road

At the eastern edge of Fort Garlands foothills, this 5.81-acre parcel sits just above the highway corridor on a quiet stretch of Sauder Road. From here youre a few minutes from town for fuel, groceries, and the historic fort museum, but your everyday view is out over the San Luis Valley toward Blanca Peak and the spine of the Sangre de Cristo Range. At roughly eight thousand feet, the air is clear, the light is sharp, and nights drop into true dark-sky stargazing.

The land itself is straightforward and usable. The lot tapers slightly and fronts two dirt roads, giving you flexible access and more than one natural homesite. Its mostly open high-country ground with gentle contours, easy to walk and easy to imagine with a cabin, small home, or well-set-up camp.

Around you, theres more to explore than just the view from your porch. Great Sand Dunes National Park lies roughly half an hour to...

Around you, theres more to explore than just the view from your porch. Great Sand Dunes National Park lies roughly half an hour to the northwest via US-160 and Highway 150, with trailheads, dunes, and creek play in season. Mountain Home Reservoir, Smith Reservoir, and other local lakes offer trout fishing and quiet shorelines, while the higher sections of the Sangre de Cristo Ranches and nearby public lands give you room for hiking, glassing for elk, and driving old forest roads. As a home base, this parcel keeps you close to town and the main highways while still giving you the space and silence people come to this part of Colorado to find.
