Mountain-View Acreage in the San Luis Valley

Trinchera Colony is a quiet neighborhood of larger tracts in Costilla County, about 5 minutes from Blanca and 20 minutes from Alamosa, with Blanca Peak rising almost directly in front of you. Tracts here run from roughly 10 to 40 acres, with county road access, no HOA, and very few neighbors.

This is off-grid country. Owners rely on solar power, a well or hauled water, septic, and propane, and in return they get open space, dark skies, wild horses, and the Sangre de Cristo Mountains as the view from camp.

What Off-Grid Living Looks Like Here
