SLVR Unit 14, Block 6, Lot 16 - 5 Acres
$8,100 cash or $9,000 with financing requiring $4,000 down and 48 payments of $130.
This parcel is on the corner of 18th Street and Pinon.  There is a permanent resident living across Pinon Street.  The parcel has a fabulous view south towards New Mexico - and good access to the upper roads in the SLVR area for hiking and exploring.  It has few trees, but is more grassy and wouldn't be difficult to clear.  We own a several parcels in the general area that are never going to be for sale and have family gatherings and picnics on them.  There is no power in this area and not likely to ever be any.  Good area for a solar installation.

San Luis Valley Ranches - Unit 14, Block 6, Lot 4 ----5 Acres -- $8,100 cash or $4,000 down and 41 monthly payments of $148
Located on the lower slopes of the Mount Blanca Massif and very near to our own family parcel and cabin in Unit 14, this parcel is on a south-facing slope on 19th Street - about halfway between Pinon and Pine.  At an elevation of 8,033 feet, it is 400 feet above the valley, which affords fantastic views around the region looking in several directions -- perhaps as far as New Mexico!  Winter snow will melt quickly on this slope - which will ensure you can travel there most of the year. There was one occasion in the last 10 years when we parked our vehicle and walked the last 1/4 of a mile up Pinon to our place through knee deep snow - but the sun was shining that day and we only needed jackets for warmth.
On the parcel to the east, there is a stone cabin which is presently for sale by a realtor in Alamosa.  At one time - that resident actively used solar panels and a wind generator at his place.  Power is several miles away and it is not economially feasable to bring it up this far at this time.  The water well depth is estimated to be at least 300' at this location - so the few residents in the area are most likely hauling their water and storing it in a cistern.    Driving the last mile up to the property is rocky and rough which will present a challenge; a 4-wheel drive vehicle will make that easier but is not required.  From this parcel it is 6 miles to the Red Rocks store and Lu's cafe in Blanca and 19 miles to the Super Wal-Mart in Alamosa.

SLVR Unit 2, Block 11, Lot 10---5.74 Acres near Electric Power---$7,200 Cash Price or $8,000 with our financing: $2,500 Down and $148 per mo for 45 months


This almost 6 acre sized parcel is located about 1/2 mile north of Blanca on 2nd Street, about ¼ mile west of Cedar Avenue.  A good sized shed is on the property.   Septic and well permits are available.   Located 1.5 miles away in Blanca is the Red Rock Store with groceries and supplies
There are two grocery stores in Fort Garland, 5 miles east of this area on Hwy 160.

Many residents in the area use wind and solar power; heat with wood stoves, and have a propane tank for cooking, baking and propane refrigerators.  It is estimated that it would cost $8,000 to hook into the existing power line along Cedar. A septic system, installed by local contractors, is estimated to cost $3,600.  Water is down less than 100’ and to complete a typical well, will cost around $6,600.  Major shopping, building supplies, medical care, etc are available in Alamosa, 22 miles to the west.   Costilla and Alamosa Counties do not have many job opportunities, and we recommend that people moving to our area are retired or on a regular pension or income.

****Note- The Travel Trailer that was on this property was sold separately to another customer and we reduced the price of the property.

SLVR Unit 13, Block 6, Lots 3 ,4 and 5 --15 Acres with a 2000 Kit Travel Trailer located in Alamosa County
 
Purchase trailer and 15 acres for $31,500 cash.  Owner financed price requires $10,000 down followed by $695 per month for 36 months.
The trailer may be purchased separately and moved to your own location for $10,900 cash - no financing available.  The trailer is sitting on LOT 5 and you can also purchase it by itself with the trailer, pad, driveway, etc. for $18,000 cash or $20,000 with owner financing,  This option requires $10,000 down and $200 per month for 67 months.  Either of the other two parcels is still available for $9,900 cash.  
LOT 3 or 4 might be a superior location for the travel trailer if you wanted to stay in that vicinity.  Moving it to an adjacent parcel would cost approximately $1,000 at your own expense. 
 
 
This land is on the lower slopes of the Mount Blanca Massif, 3 miles from paved CO 150 and 4.5 miles from the little town of Blanca on US Hwy 160. The last mile to the property is rugged with rocks and dips, and require slow speeds and 7" minimum ground clearance. A 4 wheel drive vehicle is recommended.
Unit 13 is surrounded by public land. The San Isabel National Forest boundary is 1/2 mile away and BLM land is 1/4 mile away-both in easy walking distance.  Tobin Creek flows 1/2 mile to the east and some locals use that as their water source. The Rio Grande National Forest is also nearby. The Forest Service Access Road leading up to Lake Como (Alpine Lake) and several of the 14,000' peaks is less than 3 miles away.
The Sand Dunes National Park Entrance is 18 miles away, and San Luis Lakes, with great rainbow trout fishing is 22 miles away.
This is a great area for vacationing and hunting but we would not recommend it for a permanent residence.  There are two mountain homesteaders living in the area. The trailer has been sitting on Lot 5 for several years, and has never been disturbed.
These three lots are on a gentle, south facing down slope, i
