Slegers Road, Fort Garland, CO 81133 - Costilla County

High-Country Basecamp: Build Your Colorado Dream at 8,354 Feet

Trees, mountain views, maintained road access, mobile homes allowed: This Colorado property gives you the space and elevation to build something that's fully yours. Set on county-maintained Slegers Road in the prestigious Sangre de Cristo Ranches, it offers commanding views of Mount Blanca (Colorado's 4th highest peak) with both open buildable areas and natural tree cover for privacy.

The 5.24-acre parcel sits at 8,354 feet elevation, giving you that high-country feel with panoramic vistas of the Sangre de Cristo range and wide valley views. You've got neighbors in the subdivision, but plenty of space between properties. Whether you're thinking of a cabin, manufactured home, RV setup, or off-grid hunting basecamp, this land gives you the freedom to build your Colorado legacy without excessive restrictions.

Spend your time exploring Costilla County's legendary outdoor opportunities - from OTC elk hunting in GMU 83 to fishing at Smith Reservoir, plus easy access to Great Sand Dunes National Park (45 minutes) and endless hiking in the nearby 14ers. Whether you're building long-term or need an escape from city life, this land is ready when you are.

We are open to owner financing as well - here's what that would look like:

Monthly: $248/month for 72 months

Cash Price: $12,499

Why This Property Stands Out:

This isn't just raw land - it's your gateway to the high-country Colorado lifestyle. At over 8,300 feet elevation with maintained road access, you get the best of both worlds: remote mountain living with practical year-round accessibility. The Sangre de Cristo Ranches community offers minimal restrictions but maximum freedom to build your dreams.

Perfect for hunters (excellent access to elk country), outdoor enthusiasts, or anyone seeking a mountain retreat that can accommodate everything from a tiny cabin to a substantial home. The natural tree cover provides privacy while the open areas offer endless building possibilities.
