- Location & Size: The subject property is a 2.5 acre lot located in Wild Horse Mesa, sprawling residential subdivision situated just outside San Luis, Colorado and within close proximity of the Sanchez Reservoir and State Wildlife Area. Click here to see the subject property's location on Google Maps.
- Roads & Access: The subject property is located along Fremont Drive, a well-maintained dirt/gravel road. In addition, the roads throughout the subdivision are also well-maintained and can all be navigated by any vehicle type. Anyone scouting the property for the first time, however, is advised to take a larger truck or off-road capable vehicle.
- Power & Utilities: While residential power lines can be found throughout the subdivision, there are none either on the subject property or within close proximity. Because of this, potential buyers are encouraged to investigate alternative sources of energy such as solar panels. Anyone looking to investigate costs or logistics of getting connected to the grid is advised to contact the San Luis Valley Rural Electric Cooperative, the utility company which services this region.
- No HOA: The Wild Horse Mesa subdivision has no HOA, no annual dues and no time limit on building. While there are covenants and restrictions that were drafted when the subdivision was first created, they are what we like to refer to as "reasonable, logical good-neighbor restrictions" dealing largely with the disposal of waste and prohibitions on excessive noise. In other words, nothing too unreasonable. Anyone curious to read these covenants and restrictions can do so by clicking here to read the attached PDF.
- Zoning: In addition to the covenants and restrictions which govern this subdivision, buyers should also be aware that Costilla County is not without its own formal zoning regulations. This particular region is zoned E-R or Estate Residential, a designation which allows for SFRs, mobile, modular and site-built homes all with a minimum square footage requirement of 600 square feet. To learn more about what else may be permitted within the Estate Residential district, buyers are encouraged to review this excerpt from the Costilla County Land Use PDF.
- RV Usage: It should be noted that short-term camping, meaning up to fourteen days per three consecutive months, is allowed within this region. Anything longer than that will require a "long-term camping permit" which can be obtained from the County Planning & Zoning Department.
- Wild Horse Mesa: It should be noted that this subdivision gets its name from the numerous wild horses that roam this area freely. While those horses were camera-shy during the time our photographer was visiting the subject property, they have developed the reputation of being otherwise omnipresent and easy to observe.
- Sanchez Reservoir & Wildlife Area: Located on the eastern end of this subdivision within only a five minute drive of the subject property is the 1,462 acre Sanchez Reservoir and Wildlife Area (see photos in the gallery at the bottom of this page). While hunting is prohibited here, visitors will have plenty of opportunities to take their boats and fish along the shores of this pristine lake. Species of fish native to the area include walleye, carp, channel catfish, northern pike, perch, white suckers and more.
- Nearby Towns: The small town of San Luis - the oldest town in Colorado - sits within a five minute drive from the subject property and will afford you easy access to some groceries, supplies, restaurants, cafes and some medical and government services.
- Nearby Towns, More: Also close by, but with far more to offer, is the town of Alamosa. Located forty-five minutes northwest along Highway 285, the nearby town of close to 10,000 people not only features big box stores such as Walmart and Ace Hardware, but is also home to the San Luis Valley Health Center Hospital, Adams University and Trinidad State Junior College. A number of fast food restaurants have a footprint in Alamosa, and the region boasts a thriving downtown including bars, restaurants and nightlife. Additionally, there's plenty of schools, churches and medical practices for anyone planning on raising a family in this region.
- Nearby Attractions: Situated in Southern Colorado's picturesque San Luis Valley, you'll find plenty of great outdoor activities to take advantage of, all within close proximity of the subject property. Nearby bodies of water such as the Terrace Reservoir and the La Jara Reservoir are within a short five to ten minute drive of this parcel, each offering even greater opportunities for fishing and hunting. The Great Sand Dunes National Park is just forty five minutes north of this parcel and features the tallest dunes in North America - perfect for sand boarding and sand sledding. Animal lovers can explore both the Monte Vista and Alamosa National Wildlife Refuge. And of course, skiing enthusiasts can take advantage of the slopes and trails in the world-famous Taos Ski Valley, just south of this region in neighboring New Mexico.
