Property Description‍

The subject property is a 5.7 acre corner lot located in Sangre De Cristo Ranches, a sprawling rural subdivision found just outside Fort Garland where the high plains desert of the San Luis Valley meets the foothills of the surrounding mountain territory.

‍

‍‍‍Legal Information‍

Legal Description: Sangre De Cristo Ranches, Unit G, Block 92, Lot 1317

Parcel Number: 70224381

Account Number: R012795

Annual Taxes: $200.00

‍

‍Access & Utilities‍

Roads & Access: The subject property is a corner lot located where Stevenson Road meets Michaels Road in the western part of the subdivision. Like all the roads in the Sangre De Cristo Ranches, both are composed of graded dirt and gravel, are County-maintained, and should be easy to navigate in any vehicle type.

Power & Utilities: The subject property features power at the lot line at its eastern boundary along Stevenson Road. In addition, there are a number of home sites nearby all being serviced by these same residential power lines. Because of this, it should be easier and more affordable to develop the land. Anyone looking to investigate the costs associated with connecting power on the subject property is encouraged to contact the San Luis Valley Rural Electric Cooperative, the utility company which services this region.

‍

‍Zoning & Restrictions

Zoning: Properties in the Sangre De Cristo Ranches are zoned E-R or Estate Residential, a designation which allows for residential areas developed at a higher density and where agricultural use is of incidental value. To learn more about the ER Zoning Designation, please see the attached PDF.

No HOA: While the Sangre De Cristo Ranches has an Owner's Association, it serves less as a governing body to enforce rules and more as a group tasked with arranging events which foster community pride. In short, it's an organization which has no say over how you use your land, inclusion in their ranks is voluntary and there are no mandatory dues associated with land ownership here. To learn more about this organization you can visit their website or their Facebook page.

Covenants, Conditions & Restrictions: When the Sangre De Cristo Ranches subdivision was created in the early 1970's, the developer drew up a set of covenants and restrictions to run with the land. While most of these are what we like to refer to as "reasonable, good neighbor restrictions" dealing primarily with the disposal of trash and prohibitions on excess noise, there are a few covenants that deal with acceptable structures for the region as well as minimum square footage requirements of those structures. Because of this, anyone considering purchasing the land is encouraged to review the Sangre De Cristo Ranches Covenants and Restrictions document found here.

Covenants, Conditions & Restrictions, Cont'd: Notable restrictions enumerated in the above linked document include: Minimum square footage requirements are 600 sqft for a one-story dwelling and 800 sqft for a two-story dwelling. All construction must be completed within one year from the time of ground-breaking.

Short-Term RV Use: 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 Costilla County Planning & Zoning Department.

Long-Term RV Occupancy: Long-term RV Occupancy, typically done during construction of a permanent dwelling, generally requires both a hookup to an approved On-Site Wastewater Treatment System (OWTS) as well as a well permit or cistern installed. The cost for the Long-Term permit is $350, is valid for 90 days and may be renewed for up to 18 months. It should also be noted that RV inspection is required before this permit will be issued.

MISC.

Topography: The subject property features a slight pitch with its highest elevation being along Stevenson Road and then descending gently toward its western boundary.

Mountain Home Reservoir: Located within the Sangre De Cristo Ranches is Mountain Home State Wildlife Area. This region, which includes a 130-acre lake stocked with rainbow, brown and cutthroat trout is an ideal spot for fishing in the spring and summer months and ice fishing during the winter. It should be noted, however, that while there are four boat ramps here, the lake is only a fishing lake and not a place where one might take a speed boat or jet ski.

Blanca Peak and Mt. Lindsey: Situated due north of the Sangre De Cristo Ranches are Blanca Peak and Mt. Lindsey, both of which overlook most every parcel in this region and will provide a stunning backdrop to your new home or seasonal campsite.

Elevation: The elevation within Sangre De Cristo Ranches tends to graduate from 8,000 feet in the western regions of the subdivision to 8,300 in the east.
