San Luis Valley Ranches

Explore What We Offer

Secure one of the available properties in the beautiful San Luis Valley Ranches (SLVR) subdivision with the help of Sattler Mountain Land.  Located just North and South of Hwy 160 and close to the little town of Blanca, these parcels, starting at five acres, are great for camping, RVing, exploring the area, or building a cabin or off-grid home.  Acquire your dream property with one of our sale-by-owner options or flexible payment plans.

Why Choose Us?

Consider this when buying land: Some sellers charge $125 monthly for ten years, but the total cost ends up being much higher than the original price. These parcels are usually in undesirable locations, with no infrastructure and far from neighboring towns.  However, we try to sell land in convenient locations and are honest about their condition.  We show accurate photos and our prices will be in the range $5,000 to $8,000.  It’s worth thinking about.
