Wander in this wonderful 5 acres of paradise in south-central Colorado within the San Luis Valley, Costilla County. It covers nearly 1,227 square miles and ranges in elevation from 8,400 to 10,300 feet. Costilla County borders Conejos County to the west, Alamosa County to the northwest, Huerfano County to the northeast, Las Animas County to the east, and the state of New Mexico to the south. Classified as a high alpine desert, the county lies to the west of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, which boasts several peaks above 14,000 feet, including Blanca Peak, Crestone Peak, and Culebra Peak.
34.1 miles away from your property, you can reach La Veta Pass-Upto Historic District. Take in the expansive views of the Spanish Peaks while exploring Uptop Historic District’s remaining structures. There are approximately a dozen buildings, including a chapel that is well preserved and occasionally open to the public. Onsite, there is also a red “peace pole” with an accompanying contemplative walk area filled with mementos, artwork, and bells. Surrounding the ghost town, designated trails have been added for seasonal hiking and cross-country skiing opportunities. It has also hosted many large gatherings such as the annual Celtic Music Festival. You can also go ahead to the Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve 34.3 miles away. This national park doubles as a Dark Sky Park by night, where you can take in the celestial show in the sky. Recognized with the designation in 2019, the park has become an increasingly popular destination for those searching for a unique yet inspiring outdoor experience. After a day of sandboarding, hiking, and swimming in Medano Creek, visiting the park after dark is really an entirely new journey.
You can also experience the Mystic San Luis Valley by exploring the city of Alamosa just 33.1 miles away. It offers everything needed to enjoy the quintessential Colorado experience as it is overflowing with natural wonders, outdoor activities, culture, and authentic eats. Alamosa’s close proximity to a multitude of sights and attractions makes it an ideal spot for travelers and weekend warriors alike. All within a few hours, you can summit North America’s tallest sand dunes, wrestle local alligators, go chasing waterfalls, and still make it back to the hot springs by sunset for some unfiltered R&R.
