4 Acres Beneath Mt. Blanca, 9 Miles From Fort Garland — $175/mo

Picture this: you roll in Friday afternoon, set up camp with the Sangre de Cristo range catching the last of the light, and by the time the fire’s going the only sound left is the wind moving through the valley. That’s a weekend on these 4 acres in Costilla County, about 9 miles south of Fort Garland and about 4 miles from the small community of Chama, with San Luis and Blanca each 8 to 9 miles away.

Mt. Blanca anchors the skyline to the northeast at 14,345 feet, one of the tallest peaks in the Rockies. The San Luis Valley runs high-desert dry, with close to 300 sunny days a year, so the odds are good the weather cooperates whenever you head out.

There’s room to actually use the land: pitch a tent, bring the ATV, or park an RV for the weekend, with open country around you for hiking and exploring. There is no power, water or septic on the parcel. Costilla County allows temporary RV or tent camping up to 14 days every three months, plenty for regular trips without living out here full time.

$8,500 cash, or $175 down and $175 a month for 60 months, plus a $200 doc fee. No bank and no credit check; we carry the financing ourselves, and title transfers to you once it’s paid off.

Send us a message and we’ll get you the exact location, photos, and anything else you want to know before you decide.

Some places are made for driving through. This one’s made for coming back to, weekend after weekend.
