Seller motivated: 5.07 flat acres near Fort Garland at a price point that makes sense. No HOA, county-maintained dirt-road access, and year-round access make this a simple, usable piece of Southern Colorado land without a bunch of extra complications. If you want space, views, dark skies, wildlife, and a clean off-grid canvas, this is the kind of parcel worth looking at.
The land sits around 8,120 feet with flat, sandy terrain and no trees, so it is easy to walk, easy to picture, and easy to start planning around. Bring the camper, bring the map, and start laying out the future basecamp, weekend retreat, or long-term land hold. For buyers who do not want steep slopes, thick timber, or a hard-to-read lot, McDonnell keeps it straightforward.
Zoned Rural Residential in Costilla County, with no HOA and a reported 600 sq ft minimum build size per county guidance. There are no utilities on-site right now, which leaves the next owner free to design the setup their way: well or cistern, septic, solar, and internet options such as Starlink or local providers. No driveway is installed and no official address is assigned, so use the GPS coordinates and parcel map when heading out.
The property was acquired by Treasurer’s Deed in 2020, so title insurability, quiet-title options/timing, access, utilities, zoning, and intended use should be confirmed during due diligence.
