Farm Description
5.14 Acres with Creek Access & Mountain Views - Fort Garland, Colorado
Costilla County, Colorado | Sangre de Cristo Ranches | APN 1071
5.14 Acres | Road Access | Buildable | Near Hunting, Lakes, and Trails
This 5.14-Acre mountain parcel sits in one of the most desirable pockets of the Sangre de Cristo Ranches, just north of Fort Garland. Located near a seasonal creek with open views of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, this property offers a rare blend of privacy, scenery, and accessibility.
The terrain features gently sloping ground with multiple buildable locations, perfect for a future cabin, off-grid home, or long-term investment. With county-maintained roads, year-round access, and close proximity to public lands, this parcel is ideal for anyone seeking a quiet Colorado retreat surrounded by endless outdoor recreation.
