Mountain Views, Reservoir Access, and the Perfect Colorado Camping Escape
Where the mountains rise and the world finally slows down, that's where you'll find this 1.06-Acre Colorado property. Just four miles from Sanchez Reservoir and surrounded by the wide-open beauty of the high desert, this land is a quiet retreat for anyone who dreams of weekends spent camping, exploring, and reconnecting with the outdoors. Here, mornings begin with cool mountain air, days stretch into adventure, and nights end under more stars than most people ever see.
This parcel sits in Costilla County, a region known for its peaceful landscapes and long mountain views. It's close enough to water and wildlife to make every visit an escape, yet far enough from the noise that true stillness becomes part of the experience. If you've been searching for land that gives you access to nature without the rush of the modern world, this is it.
Mountain Views and Open Land
The property is gently rolling with scattered trees and a natural rise that opens into views of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. It feels remote in the best way-quiet, natural, and untouched. There's space here to camp, explore, breathe, and settle into the rhythm of the landscape.
Whether you build someday or simply use the land for weekend escapes, the setting makes every visit feel special. Sunlight moves slowly across the hills, the wind hums through the grass, and the land offers a sense of calm that's hard to find anywhere else.
Close to Sanchez Reservoir
Water changes everything, and Sanchez Reservoir is only 4 miles away. That easy access makes this land unique in southern Colorado.
At the reservoir, you'll find:
Fishing for northern pike
Kayaking and quiet paddling
Wildlife moving along the shore
Big-sky sunsets reflected on still water
Peaceful mornings perfect for coffee and a camp chair
Few properties offer proximity to water and mountain views. This one gives you both.
A Camping Retreat That Feels Like Freedom
If you love camping, this land is your starting point for adventure. Bring an RV, pitch a tent, or set up a small off-grid basecamp. Nights here are almost silent except for the wind moving across the hills. When the stars come out, they feel impossibly close.
This is the kind of place where:
You wake up slowly
You cook outdoors
You hike until your legs feel good
You sit by a fire without thinking about your phone
You fall asleep to the sound of nothing at all
You don't need fancy gear. You don't need a complicated plan. You just need the land-and now it's within reach.
A Stillness You Can Feel
At 8,694 feet elevation, the air is crisp and clean, and the landscape stretches for miles. The dirt road leading in is quiet, rising and falling through the hills. By the time you arrive, the noise of daily life feels far away.
This land doesn't ask for anything. It doesn't demand upkeep or equipment. It simply waits for the moments when you need a reset, a quiet morning, or a place to watch shadows move across the mountains.
No Hoa.
No restrictions.
No pressure.
Just land-yours to enjoy.

Close to Water, Close to Wonder
Living near water in Colorado is rare, but owning land near water is even rarer. Sanchez Reservoir gives this property lasting value and year-round beauty.
Spend mornings walking the shoreline. Spend afternoons exploring the hills. Spend evenings watching the lake glow gold as the sun falls behind the mountains.
Beyond the reservoir, you're surrounded by some of Colorado's most stunning landscapes, from the wild canyons of the Rio Grande to the towering dunes of Great Sand Dunes National Park.
This region isn't just scenic-it's unforgettable.

The Kind of Weekend That Stays With You
Weekends here don't disappear. They stretch. You wake up with the mountains glowing pink. You walk the land. You breathe. You take your time.
At night, the sky fills with stars, the air cools, and the quiet becomes something you feel as much as you hear.
This land reminds you what life feels like when it finally slows down.
A Place That Waits for You
This land doesn't change when you leave-it simply waits for the next time you need it. A place to reset. A place to camp. A place to bring someone you love and show them what real stillness feels like.
Land near water holds value.
Land with mountain views holds meaning.
Land with both is rare.
This is your chance to own it.
