Residential Land for Sale in Fort Garland, Colorado

This 4.37-acre property consists of two adjoining parcels in Forbes Park in Costilla County, Colorado. APN 70131190 contains 2.51 acres and APN 70131210 contains 1.86 acres, and both parcels are being sold together. The land has gently sloping terrain with mature pine and aspen trees throughout. Purnell Lane provides dirt road access directly to the parcels, and the property is not located in a mapped flood hazard area.

Applicable land use, construction, road access, and OWTS permits are required before development.
