Imagine waking up to the rising sun over distant mountain peaks, with no neighbors in sight just the sound of wind across the plains and birdsong overhead. With plenty of flat, build-ready space and no zoning restrictions, you're free to design your property however you like. Dreaming of a tiny home? Go for it. Want to live out of your RV while building a more permanent home? You can do that. Thinking about building a self-sustaining eco-home powered by solar and supported by rainwater catchment? This land is your blank canvas.
Access is simple and convenient. This property sits off Dave Rd. and Russ Rd. Quiet, rural dirt roads that still connect easily to US HWY-285 and RT-142. You're far enough out to enjoy full privacy and peace, but close enough to nearby towns and cities when you need them. Whether you want to make a quick grocery run or get medical care, everything is within reach. Alamosa is about 45 minutes away, offering shopping, dining, schools, and other services. You're also not far from Colorado Springs, Carson City and even Denver if you need a bigger city trip.
This land is not governed by an HOA, meaning there are no unnecessary restrictions on what you can build or how you choose to live. There are no building timelines, so you can develop the property at your own pace. Want to start small with a garden, a solar array, or a simple structure? Great. Want to take your time and build out your dream homestead over a few years? That's perfectly fine, too. The freedom to live how you want is built into every acre.
Many people are drawn to Costilla County because of its unique combination of affordability, accessibility, and natural beauty. The landscape is quiet and expansive, with long views of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains and some of the most spectacular sunrises and sunsets you'll ever witness. The air is crisp, the skies are open, and on a clear night, you can see more stars than you ever thought possible. It's not just peaceful it's healing.
This particular lot is ideal for those who are serious about off grid living or eco-conscious development. The land gets ample sunlight year-round, making it a great candidate for solar power. The flat terrain makes installation of solar panels, rainwater harvesting systems, greenhouses, and wind turbines simple and cost-effective. Whether you want to power a small cabin, run a full homestead, or develop an innovative sustainable living project, the space and sun exposure here give you the freedom to experiment and grow.
If you're interested in raising animals, there's room for chickens, goats, or even a few horses. You could fence off sections of the property, set up barns or coops, and grow your own feed crops. The climate is semi-arid but supportive of resilient gardens and agriculture with the right planning and water systems in place. You could also use a portion of the land for permaculture designing an ecosystem that works with the land, not against it.
One of the most attractive things about this property is the dual benefit it offers: full seclusion when you want to disconnect and recharge, and access to adventure and community when you're ready to get out and explore. Within an hour's drive are some of Colorados most treasured natural wonders.
Explore the towering dunes at Great Sand Dunes National Park & Preserve, where you can hike, sled, or just marvel at the surreal, ever-changing landscape. Just minutes from the land, you'll find Fort Garland Museum & Cultural Center, which offers a fascinating look into the region's frontier history. Looking for quirky charm? Canos Castle, a surreal handmade folk-art structure built from recycled materials, is another nearby treasure. And outdoor lovers will find no shortage of national forests, wildlife refuges, rivers, and trails to discover. Whether you're into hiking, fishing, birdwatching, or off-roading, there's an adventure waiting just beyond your doorstep.
You dont need to go fully off-grid right away. Many landowners in the area start by using their land for seasonal getaways or camping trips, slowly developing it into something more permanent. You can park your RV or pitch a tent under the stars, use the land as a weekend retreat, and let your vision evolve over time. There's no pressure and no deadlines.
If you're concerned about the logistics of living off grid, the good news is that you're not alone and resources are readily available. Many property owners in the region rely on solar power, water cisterns, composting toilets, and propane for their energy needs. Internet is available via satellite services like Starlink, so you can work remotely or stay connected even while enjoying the peace of rural living.
This property is also an excellent long-term investment.
