3.4 Acres of Residential Land for Sale in San Luis, Colorado

Build on Scenic Hilltop near Sanchez Reservoir

Buildable lot 6/10 of a mile west of Sanchez Reservoir on Wild Horse Mesa. All lots in the Little Norway subdivision have on-site access to water and electricity. The fee for tapping into the community water system is very reasonable at $8k. There is an electric pole at the lot line roughly in the center of the road frontage. Access to this rectangular shaped lot is approximately 248 feet along Alta Mesa Drive. Note: This road is mislabeled as "Buck Horn Trail" on Google Maps.

From the lot's highest point, you can just see part of Sanchez Reservoir in the valley below and enjoy panoramic views of the massive Sangre de Cristo range. Great Sand Dunes National Park is about 1 hour away and you can make it to shopping and skiing in Taos, New Mexico in less than 90 minutes. Recreational opportunities abound in this area!

Distance to:

• San Luis, CO - 14 miles
• Alamosa, CO - 53 miles
• Walsenburg, CO - 75 miles
• Pueblo, CO - 124 miles
• Colorado Springs, CO - 166 miles
• Denver, CO - 237 miles
• Taos, NM - 58 miles

This lot is in Phase 3 of the subdivision. There is no Property Owners Association (POA) for Phase 3 and no POA dues. There are modest and reasonable recorded covenants. The covenants allow for short-term camping and are actually less restrictive than the current county rules on camping. Options for longer-term temporary habitation during construction are available.

This would make a great building site for a short-term rental. Costilla County does allow short-term rentals. A 1,332 square foot log home in the same subdivision recently sold for $370k.

Additional notes on utilities: Electric service is through San Luis Valley Rural Electric Cooperative. In addition to the water tap, a water meter will need to be installed at additional cost. An engineered on-site wastewater treatment system (OWTS) will be needed to complete the utility set up.
