10 Acres in Mesita, Costilla County

Ten acres of flat, open land in the Mesita area of Costilla County, Colorado — one of the larger parcels available in the San Luis Valley at a price that makes genuine space affordable. The property sits at approximately 7,629 feet of elevation and benefits from road frontage on two sides: Frontera Trail along the north and Black Hawk Road along the west. Both are county-maintained dirt roads.

This is Estate Residential zoned land, which permits a house, manufactured home (post-1976), and limited camping with an RV for up to 14 days every three months. Ten acres provides ample room for a homesite with outbuildings, a weekend retreat, or simply the satisfaction of owning a meaningful piece of Colorado.

Water is available by well or cistern — contact the Division of Water Resources at (719) 589-6683 for well permits. Septic is required for sewer. Power options include solar, wind, generator, or connection through Xcel Energy at (800) 895-4999. No natural gas is available; LP, diesel, or propane tanks are the alternative. Waste pickup is available through GT Trash Services. No HOA fees apply.

The nearest communities are Alamosa, Walsenburg, and Monte Vista. The property is within easy reach of Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve, Fort Garland Museum and Cultural Center, Cole Park, and the San Luis Valley Museum. The Jack Dempsey Birthplace is nearby as well — a detail that gives you a sense of the character of this part of Colorado.

Annual property taxes are approximately $95. No back taxes are owed and no liens exist on this parcel. At $299 per month with a $299 down payment and zero percent interest, ten acres of Colorado high desert is within reach over a five-year term. The cash price and the financed price are the same — $17,940.
