The San Luis Valley Ranches are nestled high in the Rocky Mountains in the San Luis Valley. Mt. Blanca, the fourth highest peak in Colorado at 14,345 feet, offers stunning views to this subdivision. It is part of the Sangre de Cristo Range. Located centrally around the town of Fort Garland, it is about 25 miles east of Alamosa, 210 miles south of Denver, 175 miles east of Durango and 50 miles west of Interstate 25. It is a large subdivision that covers different parts of the county.
This 5.153 acre lot is located in Unit F, Block 90 with road frontage along Juavez Rd. This unit is considered sub-alpine, and roads are easily accessible via a car or truck during the majority of the year. There are a few homes in this block, but most lots are vacant. No power located within this area and water would require a well. Residents qualify for an augmented well-permit which allows for watering a small garden. This lot has a lot of trees on it with some prairie grass and desert vegetation. You will get great surrounding views of the mountains and Mt. Blanca to the north. Note: Pictures are from the Unit for representative purposes only, not actual lot for sale. This land is ideal for a permanent year-round residence, hunting cabin and/or camping spot. Permits will be required from the county for driveways, septic and water well. Please contact them for requirements.
