A Landscape Built for Freedom and Future Value
Sitting at an elevation of 9,054 feet, this land stretches out under the wide Colorado sky. The terrain is mostly flat with hardy desert grasses and low shrubs, giving it that quiet “high desert” feel that Colorado's southern counties are known for. The open space gives you a clear view of the mountains on the horizon, and the silence here is the kind that settles your whole body.
This isn't a crowded development or a busy neighborhood. It's remote enough to feel like your own world, but still reachable for supplies, travel, and everyday needs. The property fronts a usable dirt road, so access stays simple. Power lines are less than a mile away, giving you the option to connect someday, though most owners in this area choose solar and off-grid systems. Cell service is steady, so you stay reachable when you want to be.
If you've never stood on land like this, it's hard to explain the feeling. There's a sense of permanence, of ownership, of calm that washes over you. This is the kind of place where you build traditions, where family gatherings turn into stories, and where time slows down in the best way.
A Location Rooted in Colorado's Oldest History
Just below the quiet historic town of Mesita, this land is surrounded by the stories and heritage of Costilla County. A quick 14-mile drive takes you to San Luis-the oldest town in Colorado-where you'll find groceries, shops, small restaurants, and a friendly community that still carries the traditions of the San Luis Valley.
You're also within reach of some of the best natural and cultural attractions in southern Colorado:
Great Sand Dunes National Park & Preserve - iconic dunes with mountain views and endless places to explore.
Fort Garland Museum & Cultural Center - a historic site that preserves the valley's deep roots.
Bishop Castle - a towering hand-built stone marvel.
Colorado Gators Reptile Park - a fun and surprising stop for kids and adults.
Cole Park and the Great Sand Dunes Visitor Center - perfect for weekend outdoor trips.
From desert adventures to mountain day trips, this part of Colorado gives you as much exploration as you want.
Why These 25.41 Acres Are Different
A lot of large properties give you space, but they don't give you structure. This one does.
The multiple pre-divided parcels set this land apart from almost anything else on the market.
Each parcel already has:
Road frontage
Independent access
Defined boundaries
That means you can keep the entire acreage as one large holding or let each family member have their own section without doing any subdivision work. You aren't just buying land-you're buying options.
Think about what that means over time:
You can give each child their own parcel-real ownership, not just a memory.
You can sell one or two lots later while keeping the rest.
You can hold everything long-term, waiting for values to rise.
You can camp or build off-grid while keeping the land flexible for future use.
This isn't just land for today. It's land that adapts as your life changes. It's both personal and practical, giving you freedom now and security later.
A Property Designed for Off-Grid Living and Camping
With the open terrain, year-round sun, and reliable access, this land makes off-grid living easy. Many owners here use solar power, water catchment systems, and simple structures to live lightly and independently. Camping is a favorite use in this area-big skies at night, warm days, and a peaceful setting that feels a world away from busy life.
Whether you bring an RV, pitch a tent, or plan a future cabin, the land gives you room, privacy, and quiet. And because you're dealing with multiple lots, you can set up different areas for different purposes-camping on one, long-term holding on another, gifting another to family, and so on.
Land That Builds Legacy
At its core, this property is about legacy-space for everyone, flexibility for the future, and a place where your family's story can continue long after you're gone.
You don't get many chances to buy land that's already set up this way.
This is your moment to bring everyone together, while still giving each person their own ground to stand on.
Because that's what this land offers:
Together, yet your own.

What It Feels Like to Own Here
Picture the moment. You stand on the dirt road that fronts these parcels. To your left, a stretch of land wide enough for one of your kids to claim their own. To your right, space for another family member, maybe a sibling or friend. And ahead, room for you - not to control, but to hold, to secure, to pass down.
There's pride in being the one who makes that happen. Pride in knowing that years from now, when your kids or their kids stand on the same ground, they'll say, “This was ours because someone thought ahead.”
It's not about building today. It's not about using it tomorrow. It's about having the vision to see land for what it truly is - the one thing that isn't being made anymore.
Why Wait?
Properties like this don't sit around. Especially when they're already divided into multiple lots with independent access. That setup gives you options no single big parcel can match. And in Costilla County, where affordability and wide-open space still meet, opportunities like this get noticed quickly.
You've seen the numbers. You've seen the details. You know the value. The question is simple: do you want to be the one who claims it, who holds it, who brings it all together? Or do you want to look back someday wishing you had?
Take the Step
Legacy doesn't just happen. It's created. This land gives you the perfect foundation to do it - for your family, your friends, and the generations who will follow.
Reach out today to secure this property. With just $695 down, the process is straightforward, the ownership is real, and the opportunity is yours.
“Together, Yet Your Own.” That's not just a headline. It's what this property delivers. And it's waiting for you to claim it.
