The Colorado Mountains Are Calling! $175/mo

A recipe for adventure is what you’ll get if you lay down roots in Costilla County. The town of Alamosa is situated in the heart of the San Luis Valley with Blanca Peak watching over your 5 acres of Coloradan paradise. Build a fly fishing cabin, a ski chalet, a holiday retreat, or the ultimate camping spot – whatever your pleasure.

Costilla County and the surrounding area is truly a playground of natural wonders. From wetlands and grasslands, to lakes and aspen forests; its beauty is like no other. Hike, ski, rock climb, explore canyons or just watch the abundant wildlife. The area’s rivers provide an outstanding habitat for fish including large trout. In fact it’s a mecca for fly fishermen (and women).

Just up the road you’ve got Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve. The park contains the tallest sand dunes in North America. Visitors to the dunes can hike, sand board or sled, hunt, or go 4-wheeling in certain parts. Adjacent is the majestic Sangre de Cristo Range of the Rocky Mountains. Blanca Peak stands tall as the fourth highest summit in the Range.

Costilla County is full of quaint towns and friendly local communities. Nearby San Luis is Colorado’s oldest town and offers the necessities; a gas station, hardware store, convenience stores, and even a few classic local restaurants. The small towns throughout the county are interesting places to explore, and you can pick up some excellent local arts and crafts, like leatherwork and handmade jewelry.

When it comes to what to do with your property, you’ve got plenty of options. The property is zoned residential, with a minimum build of 600 square feet. Manufactured homes are okay, and as long as the primary structure is a residence, you can build almost anything. Your other option is to camp or RV with a permit for up to 60 days. The property is mostly flat with low lying vegetation like small cacti, so a perfect site to build on. Well, Colorado is waiting, are you ready to call it home?
