Land with Home for Sale in Fort Garland, Colorado

Set in the wide-open beauty of the Sangre de Cristo Ranches of Fort Garland, this 10+ acre property offers a thoughtfully improved basecamp for your Colorado getaway or full-time residence! The property features a new 640 sq ft home with a durable metal roof and a blank canvas to finish the interior to your exact taste and needs! Inside, the space is prepped for efficient use with framing in place for pocket doors and a sliding barn door—ideal for maximizing space while adding character. Recent upgrades include a septic system installed in 2024 and a solid structural foundation with concrete pillars set 3 feet below ground, reinforced with rebar and straps for added durability. The main structure measures 16' x 40' x 7' and is finished in a distinctive “Salty Dog Blue” for a clean, modern look. Two additional 8' x 7.5' sheds (each ~60 sq ft) provide extra storage or workspace options. A 275-gallon water tank is located in the front yard (non-potable, suitable for animals) and can be pumped in and out as needed, offering a practical solution for off-grid living. For water, bury a cistern or apply for a well permit, which includes household, plus up to 3000 sq ft of irrigation for garden and lawn irrigation. Solar would likely be the best option for this location. Located minutes from Fort Garland, you can find gas, diners, a post office, and more! Even closer is Mountain Home Reservoir, a quiet, high-altitude lake, originally built for irrigation; it’s now a State Wildlife Area popular for fishing, boating, camping, and wildlife viewing. Surrounded by pinyon-juniper hills and views of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, the reservoir offers a peaceful, off-the-grid feel and year-round outdoor recreation. The Sangre De Cristo Ranches is not an HOA and offers 4,000+ acres of greenbelt for recreation and nature. This property is ready for your vision—whether that’s a peaceful retreat, recreational escape, or future fully developed homestead. Call today for a tour!
