Blanca Peak Out Your Front Door – Land for a Simpler Life

Blanca Peak Out Your Front Door – Land for a Simpler Life

What if your mornings started in the shadow of one of Colorado’s tallest mountains?
No cars. No phones. Just Blanca Peak towering above you, glowing in the sunrise. This 5-acre property in southern Colorado sits almost at the base of the mountain — close enough to feel its quiet presence every single day.

Imagine waking up to crisp mountain air, total silence except for the wind through the brush, and a sky still dusted with stars from the night before. There’s no HOA, no noisy neighbors, and no pressure — just big views, open space, and endless potential.

Camp under the stars. Build your off-grid retreat. Collect rainwater, use solar, grow your own food. The land is totally yours to shape.

You’re only 20 minutes from town for supplies, but it’ll feel like another world — especially with the Great Sand Dunes, alpine lakes, and miles of hiking trails just a short drive away.

This is the kind of place that changes your pace — and your perspective.
