Own the Mountain Dream: 5.01 Acres in the San Luis Valley

Picture yourself standing on your very own 5.01 acres in southern Colorado, surrounded by endless mountain views and skies so wide they seem to go on forever. Up here in Trinchera Creek Estates, near Blanca and Fort Garland, the air is crisp, the nights are quiet, and the stars shine brighter than anywhere else. This land isn’t just dirt — it’s your chance to build a cabin, bring a mobile home, or set up camp and RV under the open sky. With no HOA rules and taxes under $120 a year, it’s affordable to own and easy to hold onto long-term.

But properties like this don’t last — especially at almost 7,700 feet with views of the San Luis Valley all around. Blanca is only 11 minutes away for supplies, yet you’ll feel a world apart. Weekends here can mean exploring historic Fort Garland, hiking the valley, or even visiting the quirky Colorado Gators Reptile Park.

For the Desert Dreamer, this is more than an escape — it’s a once-in-a-lifetime chance to secure your own Colorado retreat before someone else does. The mountains are waiting, but they won’t wait forever.
