This property is situated near 10th Street in Blanca, Colorado 81123, in Lot 11, Block 4, Unit 7 of the San Luis Valley Ranches. It carries the Assessor Parcel Number 70348652 (Account: R047697) and sits at an elevation of approximately 7,726 feet. The GPS coordinates place you in a location with clear views of the surrounding Sangre de Cristo Mountains to the east and the San Juan Mountains to the west. Measuring just under five acres, the lot is large enough for privacy and flexibility, yet still manageable to maintain. The terrain is mostly flat with light vegetation, making it easy to build on or use for camping.

Zoning here is Estate Residential, which means stick-built homes are allowed with county approval. If you plan to build, the county allows a one-year construction permit that can be renewed if needed. Camping is permitted for short periods - up to fourteen days every three months - and longer stays are possible with a permit. RVs are welcome on a temporary basis with a ninety-day occupancy permit, which can be renewed for up to eighteen months if requirements are met. This flexibility allows you to enjoy the land right away while making plans for any future development.

Access to the property is straightforward, with direct road frontage on 10th Street, a gravel and dirt road that is easy to travel. Utilities are not installed, giving you the freedom to choose the setup that fits your lifestyle. Water can be supplied by a well or storage tank, electricity can come from solar, wind, or a generator, and propane can handle heating or cooking needs. A septic system would be required for waste. This setup makes it an ideal location for anyone interested in off-grid living, self-sufficiency, or minimizing utility expenses. The property sits in Flood Zone X, meaning it has minimal flood hazard risk.

Annual property taxes are a very manageable $173.44, with no back taxes, liens, HOA dues, or metro district fees. That low holding cost makes it easy to keep this land for years, whether you choose to build immediately or simply hold as an appreciating asset.

The location strikes the perfect balance between seclusion and convenience. The small town of Blanca is just under six miles away, offering basic services such as a post office, local dining, and shops. For more extensive amenities, Alamosa is about a twenty-two minute drive and provides grocery stores, restaurants, medical facilities, and a university. Despite the easy access to town, the property itself is tucked away enough to offer peace, quiet, and stunning mountain views in all directions.

The surrounding San Luis Valley is known for its unique beauty and abundance of outdoor activities. Within a short drive, you can explore the Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve, hike to Zapata Falls, or visit the quirky UFO Watchtower. Cano's Castle in Antonito and the Crestone Ziggurat offer unusual cultural attractions, while the Fort Garland Museum and San Luis Valley Museum provide a glimpse into the area's history. Outdoor enthusiasts will find opportunities for hiking, fishing, hunting, and wildlife viewing throughout the valley and in nearby public lands.

Life in this part of Colorado is peaceful and unhurried. The community is a mix of year-round residents, seasonal cabin owners, and recreational land users. People here value the slower pace, the open space, and the chance to live close to nature. On clear nights, the stargazing is incredible thanks to the lack of city lights, and the crisp mountain air makes mornings feel fresh and energizing.
