Residential Land for Sale in Fort Garland, Colorado
Herbert Rd, Fort Garland, CO 81133
Looking for land that’s easy to get to and ready to use? This 5.75-acre property sits just outside Fort Garland with year-round access and plenty of space to build, camp, or just enjoy the outdoors.
A water ditch (feedline canal) runs along the front, and you can also access the lot from the back road. The land is mostly flat with good vegetation, wide-open views, and plenty of usable ground. At night, you’ll see some of the clearest skies in Colorado—this is part of the Dark Sky Sanctuary area, so stargazing is second to none.
This is off-grid living. You’ll need solar or generator power, a cistern or well for water, and a septic system if you plan to build. Costilla County sets the building guidelines, and there’s no HOA telling you what you can or can’t do.
Here’s how close you are to everything:
Fort Garland – 5 min
Mountain Home Reservoir – 10 min
Smith Reservoir – 19 min
Great Sand Dunes National Park – 30 min
Zapata Falls – 35 min
Alamosa – 31 min
If you’ve been waiting for land with easy access, mountain views, and no HOA, this is it.
