Discover peace, serenity, and adventure on this breathtaking property nestled among the magnificent southern Colorado mountains.

This property is situated just south of Fort Garland, the “Gateway to the San Luis Valley,” and boasts stunning mountain views of the Sangre de Cristo Range and Mount Blanca (a 14,351 ft. peak!).

Shopping, dining, and museums are only a short 15 minute drive to Fort Garland.

If you enjoy fishing, boating, or hanging out by the water, there are four reservoirs nearby for boating, kayaking, canoeing, and fishing… the closest of which are the Mountain Home Reservoir and Smith Reservoir. Both are only 20 minutes away where you may catch a variety of fish such as walleye, pike, trout, and bass. The Rio Grande River is a short drive and offers championship fishing, as well as kayaking, canoeing, etc.

If you’re looking for adventure, nearby attractions include the Great Sand Dunes National Park, Zapata Falls, Shrine of the Stations of the Cross, and the Cumbres and Toltec Scenic Railroad. In addition to that, there’s endless amounts of hiking, kayaking, wildlife viewing, fishing, hunting, photography, and seasonal skiing to be had!

Wildlife viewing and hunting here is spectacular. The Sangre de Cristo Ranches just to the north is home to a 5,000 acre “greenbelt” dedicated to hunting and recreation. You’ll find elk, deer, and antelope wander the area in herds, grazing upon the land. You may also catch a glimpse of coyotes, bears, bighorn sheep, a variety of birds, raptors, bobcats and mountain lions that also occupy the region.

There’s excellent road access to the property from highway 159, just south of Fort Garland.

The town of Alamosa is located about 16 miles west of Fort Garland. You’ll pass through the town of Blanca on your way there. In Alamosa, you will find Walmart, Tractor Supply, restaurants, coffee shops, motels, a hospital, and even a small college.

The property is located on the valley floor, which is excellent for those looking to build a home. Vegetation consists mostly of blue sage brush with fertile, well-drained soil.

Cell phone service is available in the area as well!

This property is zoned Estate Residential, but you are allowed to camp here for 14 days every 3 months without a permit. Any home you build will need to be at least 600 square feet in size, and a wide variety of homes are allowed. There is no time limit to build. A septic system and a permanent water source need to be installed prior to building. The water source would be by well or a cistern utilizing water haul and/or a water-catchment system. With a 1000 square foot roof, you can gather about 6500 gallons per year with the water-catchment system, even with the little precipitation that this area experiences each year. Power here is best attained through the use of Solar panels (almost 300 days of sunshine per year in the Valley!). There are power lines about 1/4 mile to the north. Summer temperatures are moderate on this high desert land, which rests at an elevation of about 7,600 feet above sea level. Winters are cold but there are not enormous amounts of snow in the Valley as there are up in the mountains.
