Recreational & Residential Land for Sale in San Luis, Colorado
N Melby Ranch Rd, San Luis, CO 81152
Perched atop Wild Horse Mesa, this expansive property offers sweeping panoramic views of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, with five of Colorado’s 14,000-foot peaks visible on clear days. Wild horses are often seen roaming the area, adding to its natural charm. With few nearby neighbors, the setting is quiet and serene—perfect for enjoying fresh mountain air and a sense of escape. The land features a healthy mix of trees, providing privacy without overwhelming the space, and leveled space, making it feasible to plan a homesite without significant tree removal. Properties along N. Melby Ranch Road do not come on the market often, so opportunities like this don’t last long. There are no required timelines for building. There is a community cistern filling station. Should you choose to develop the property, it would be an off-grid setup, requiring installation of a septic system, cistern, and solar power. Sub Area: Melby Ranch North
