Residential Land for Sale in San Luis, Colorado
Alta Mesa Dr, San Luis, CO 81152
Perched high atop Wild Horse Mesa, this secluded retreat offers a rare sense of privacy on a road less traveled. The majestic Sangre de Cristo Mountains—the southernmost range of the Rockies—feel close enough to touch, with five of Colorado’s famed 14,000-foot peaks visible from the property. This is an off-grid opportunity for those seeking true independence; building your dream home here would include the installation of a solar energy system, septic, and a cistern. While wells are cost-prohibitive at this elevation, convenient water hauling is available from the nearby Mesa Community Center. An adjacent property to the north is also available, offering a unique chance for friends or family to build 'just a couple doors down' in this mountain paradise.
