Farm Description

Breathe deep and soak in the rugged beauty of this 5.12-Acre property in Fort Garland, Colorado. Set up your RV, camping under the stars, or build a small home or cabin when you're ready. This is your chance to experience true off-grid living with the Sangre de Cristo Mountains as your backdrop.

Sangre de Cristo Ranches Community

This property is part of the Sangre de Cristo Ranches Owners Community (Scro), a large, scenic subdivision just outside Fort Garland. It stretches across valleys, rolling hills, and mountain terrain, giving landowners plenty of privacy and connection to nature. While there are covenants in place, the POA does not enforce them, leaving you with more freedom than most HOAs. Annual dues are only $25 and optional.

Property Features:

Accessible Location:

The lot sits right on McCaskill Rd (a dirt road), just outside Fort Garland. You'll want a car, truck, or even an ATV to get here, but that's part of the adventure. No neighbors in sight, no noise, just quiet lot you can enjoy on your terms.

Nature-Enriched Surroundings:

With desert grasses, sagebrush, and scattered junipers, the property has a wild, open feel. On clear nights, the sky transforms into a stargazer's dream with endless Milky Way views. During the day, you'll see mountain ridges in the distance and wide desert valleys stretching below.

Construction-Friendly Terrain:

The lot is level to gentle sloping, with some clear spots and other areas full of cacti. It's easy to set up for RV camping, a firepit, or future building, though you'll want to clear parts of the land if you plan to build. Solar or a generator are great options for power.
