Western Edge Land

5.2 Acres in Costilla County to Call Your Own!


Cash Price: $11,995


You roll out of bed in the morning as the sun catches your eye just peaking up over the southern Rockies. Once your focus sharpens you realize there are dozens of elk just a couple hundred feet from you, grazing in the grass. Whether that bed is in your tent, camper, motorhome or new house is entirely up to you. It’s YOUR land and your choice. Five acres of possibility. Five acres of freedom, in Sangre de Cristo Ranches. Far enough away from cities to give you your privacy, but close enough that you can get your shopping done. Plenty of opportunities to hike, explore and more, with plenty of hunting and fishing opportunities nearby. Just south of 14,000 foot Blanca Peak and close to the Great Sand Dunes Nat’l Park if you’re looking to do some sand sledding, four wheeling or star gazing. As a resident you have exclusive access to 5,000 acres of community “greenbelt” set aside for hunting (elk, deer, grouse, antelope) and recreation.

Owner Financing available with NO CREDIT CHECK. No property improvements or modifications until paid in full and title transferred.
