Land for Sale in Fort Garland, Colorado

Seller motivated: 10.11 acres near Fort Garland made up of two lots, with no HOA, county-maintained dirt-road access, and big Sangre de Cristo views from higher ground. This is the kind of Southern Colorado land buyers look for when they want more elbow room, privacy, clear dark skies, wildlife, and an affordable place to plan a future off-grid basecamp, weekend retreat, or long-term land hold.

The property sits around 8,889 feet with rolling/sloped terrain, rocky-sandy soil, and some pinons, giving it more character and view potential than a basic flat parcel. The top of the land offers gorgeous mountain and valley views, including the Sangres, with enough usable space to walk, camp, plan, and evaluate future improvements. Access is by dirt road with county maintenance reported, but year-round access is approximately 6-month access. No 4x4 requirement under normal conditions, but buyers should verify seasonal road conditions. No driveway is installed and no official address is assigned, so use GPS and parcel mapping.

Zoned Rural Residential in Costilla County, with no HOA and a reported 600 sq ft minimum build size per county guidance. No power, water, septic, or sewer is currently on-site, giving buyers a blank-slate off-grid setup to design around their own plans. Buyer should verify well/cistern, solar, septic, internet, zoning, access, and intended use. Property was acquired by Treasurer’s Deed in 2020; buyer should confirm title insurability, quiet-title options, timing, and closing requirements with a title company or attorney.
