San Luis Valley Ranches (S.L.V.R.)

The San Luis Valley Ranches are located high in the San Luis Valley of Colorado's Rocky Mountains. Many of the subdivision's lots have stunning views of Mt. Blanca, which at 14,345 feet is the fourth highest peak in Colorado. The Ranches are centrally located around the historic town of Fort Garland, home of the historic 19th century Fort once commanded by Kit Carson. About 25 miles to the west is Alamosa, 210 miles north is Denver, 175 miles west is Durango and 50 miles east is Interstate 25. The subdivision is larger than most in the area, covering many different parts of Costilla County.

The northern portion of San Luis Valley Ranches is north of Highway 160 on terrain that rises gently as is ascends the side of Mt. Blanca. Many of these higher elevation parcels have Piñon trees that can live up to 1,000 years. The views from these lots are spectacular in all directions. South of Highway 160 the land is flatter, with a bit less vegetation and wildlife, and generally more conveniently located near shopping areas and other conveniences.

Nearby Recreation:

Costilla County is ideally located for recreation seekers. Hunting, fishing, skiing, hiking, boating, history. You name it, it's close by in the great outdoors. And never far from stunning, snow-capped mountain peaks.

If you're a skier, the nearby Taos Ski Valley across the border in New Mexico has outstanding ski slopes, as well as white water rafting and historic tours. Great Sand Dunes National Park lies just to the north of the county, offering exhilarating sandboarding and sand sledding (that's snowboarding and sledding on sand - if you haven't tried it, you must.) on the tallest dunes in North America. The park is also a Dark Sky Park, with very little external light pollution, offering some of the best stargazing in Colorado. You'll find peace and beauty that make you feel like a part of outer space - which is worth a lot in today's busy and crowded world.

When it comes to trails and hiking, you could hike a different trail every day of the year and never run out of new options. The county is home to many reservoirs, including the Sanchez and Smith, providing top quality fishing, swimming, boating, and paddle boarding. And we certainly can't forget the famed Rio Grande River, offering not only great fishing, but also canoeing, kayaking, and tubing.

With endless Native American, Mexican, and colonial American history, there is also a lot to see and learn in the San Luis Valley of Costilla County. The historic small town of San Luis is the oldest town in Colorado, and it contains a famous Stations of the Cross in bronze statues, drawing in visitors from far and wide. The town of Fort Garland is home to the fort of the same name, which was the last command of the legendary frontiersman Kit Carson. The list goes on. There's something for everyone in Costilla County - especially those who love the outdoors.
