Recreational & Residential Land for Sale in Blanca, Colorado
9852 12th St, Blanca, CO 81151
This truly unique property offers a one-of-a-kind setup with functional infrastructure already in place. The previous owner has assembled eleven lockable shipping containers to create a secure compound known as “The Outpost,” providing a versatile foundation for a variety of uses. An additional 5-acre unimproved parcel (ID 70805340) is included in the sale, located just over a mile from this property.
The Outpost features a permitted well that supplies water at 11 gpm, as tested. The property is serviced by 200-amp power through San Luis Valley Electric, and a septic system is installed. An established greenhouse area adds to the property’s usability for those looking to support a self-sufficient lifestyle.
Several additional improvements and personal property items are included on-site, including multiple outbuildings, a vintage RV, a tractor, and other equipment. These items may offer utility but are considered to have minimal contributory value.
The parcel offers privacy and seclusion while maintaining reasonable access—approximately 20 minutes to Blanca and 40 minutes to Alamosa. Expansive 360-degree views of the surrounding mountain ranges, including nearby 14ers, add to the overall appeal.
This is an uncommon opportunity for a buyer seeking a property with existing infrastructure and room to build, improve, or repurpose to fit their vision. Property and items on the property are being offered in as-is condition.
