Own a full 5 acres in Costilla County, Colorado, tucked inside the Rio Grande Rhos Unit 45 subdivision with legal, county-maintained dirt road access via Rd J. Sitting at nearly 7,500 feet in elevation, this desert parcel offers wide-open views, crisp mountain air, and the kind of quiet that’s getting harder to find. Zoned Estate Residential (ER), the property allows for a site-built home, HUD-approved manufactured home, or a compliant tiny home (600 sq ft minimum). Camping and RV use are also permitted on a limited basis, making this a practical option whether you want to build now or enjoy the land while planning your future home. With no confirmed HOA and low annual taxes, this parcel keeps ownership simple and affordable.
Located about 14 minutes from Mesita and under an hour from Alamosa, you’re close enough to essentials while still enjoying true rural freedom. Outdoor recreation is all around, with easy access to areas like Rito Seco Park, Fort Garland, and the San Luis Valley’s wide-open landscapes. Utilities are not yet installed, giving you full control over how you develop—well and septic are required, and electric is available through local providers. This property is offered with flexible owner financing—just $100 down and $169 per month—or a discounted cash price. Whether you’re looking for a long-term hold, a future homesite, or a high-altitude Colorado retreat, this is a solid opportunity to secure land with real use and long-term potential.
