This beautiful treed mountain parcel is back on the market, and if you’ve been waiting for land in Costilla County that actually has trees, this one deserves another look. Located on Laidlaw Rd in Fort Garland, this 5.133-acre lot is covered in tall, mature pinon, cedar, and pine trees, offering privacy, shade, and that true Colorado mountain feel. There’s a pull-off right off the road that works well for a car, RV, or camper, making it easy to use the property right away. The previous owner created a trail through the land, perfect for walking, ATVs, or side-by-sides. As you move uphill, the trees naturally open up to reveal beautiful views of Mt. Blanca and Mt. Lindsey—a rewarding payoff at the top of the property. You’re less than half a mile from West Indian Creek (about a 5–10 minute walk), and the elevation of 8,511 feet means cooler summers, quiet nights, and frequent wildlife sightings. This parcel is Estate Residential zoning, so you can camp, recreate, or build a cabin or full-time home. There’s no HOA and no time limit to build, giving you flexibility to use the land at your own pace. Solar or wind power is recommended, and you can drill a well or install a cistern. Location highlights: • ~15 minutes to Fort Garland • ~40 minutes to Alamosa • Close to Smith Reservoir, Great Sand Dunes National Park, and endless outdoor recreation Land with trees, views, road access, and usable terrain doesn’t come up often in this area—especially at this size and elevation.
