Treed Mountainside Property with Creek!!
This is not your average Costilla County parcel. Set high in the Sangre de Cristos, this 6.2-acre mountainside property features something incredibly rare in this area—a creek (Rito Seco) running directly through the land. In all our years buying property in this region, this is the only one we’ve had with this much live water. It’s a one-of-a-kind opportunity. The land itself is sloped and heavily wooded with towering pine trees, offering natural seclusion, mountain views, and a true Colorado wilderness feel. Whether you’re dreaming of a rugged off-grid cabin, RV basecamp, or seasonal camping retreat, this property gives you the canvas to build something special. There’s flatter space near the creek for easier access, while the steeper areas above provide elevation, privacy, and views. This is raw land—no utilities, no frills—just you, the trees, the mountain air, and the sound of flowing water. Please note: This property is not winter-accessible, and is best suited for spring, summer, and fall use unless you have serious off-road capabilities. Located in a region known for outdoor recreation, wildlife, and freedom, this is the kind of place where you can truly unplug, explore, and live life on your own terms. Whether you’re building a future or carving out a quiet escape, this mountainside property delivers something rare and real.
