Discover and explore where Colorado began with this 4.94-acre lot in Costilla County, CO. The county was the first area of Colorado state to be colonized with recorded history dating back to 1540 and it is home to the oldest town in Colorado, San Luis. The county also has a few reservoirs: Eastdale Reservoir, Sanchez Reservoir, Smith Reservoir, and Mountain Home Reservoir. All are excellent for fishing and boating and you may catch walleye, pike, and several species of trout, bass, and a few other types of fish. Costilla County is also home to much wildlife such as deer, elk and antelope, which may often be seen in herds grazing in the fields. Coyotes, bears, bighorn sheep, and mountain lions also make their homes here. So, it’s no wonder that Costilla County offers some of the best big game hunting in Colorado.
24.8 miles away from your property, you can reach Zapata Falls. The views of the valley and the Sand Dunes are fantastic from Zapata Falls, and there are four miles of well-marked hiking and mountain biking trails below the parking area. The falls are particularly impressive in winter when it freezes into a sculpture of ice. Also keep in mind that in both fall and summer, the water is cold and the rocks can be slippery and even in the summer, air temperatures inside the alcove can be cool. You can also explore the Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve which is just 24.4 miles away. This world-class destination featuring the tallest sand dunes in North America is against the backdrop of rugged 14,000′ peaks in the Sangre de Cristo mountains. The 30 square mile sand dune field, with no designated trails, invites you on an adventure. It doubles as a Dark Sky Park by night where you can take in the celestial show in the sky. The park has become an increasingly popular destination for those searching for a unique yet inspiring outdoor experience.
