4.41 Acres in Rio Grande Ranches, Costilla County

Four and a half acres in the Rio Grande Ranches subdivision of Costilla County, Colorado — situated in the broad, open expanse of the San Luis Valley with the Sangre de Cristo Mountains visible to the east. This is high desert land at roughly 7,575 feet of elevation, where the terrain is flat and the sky feels endless.

The parcel is accessed via Delaware Trail, a county-maintained dirt road, and sits in an area of similarly sized residential lots. Zoning is Estate Residential, which permits a house, manufactured home (post-1976), and limited camping with an RV for up to 14 days every three months.

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. There is no natural gas service; propane or diesel tanks are the standard alternative. No HOA fees apply to this property.

The nearest towns are Alamosa, Colorado City, and Canon City, all within reasonable driving distance. Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve, Fort Garland Museum, Bishop Castle, and the Colorado Gators Reptile Park are among the nearby attractions that make this corner of Colorado quietly remarkable.

Annual property taxes are approximately $72. There are no back taxes owed and no liens on the property. At $200 per month with no down payment and zero percent interest, this is a straightforward path to owning land in one of Colorado’s most scenic valleys.
