5.03 Acres for Sale in Fort Garland, Colorado

If you’re looking for privacy and trees, this 5.1-acre corner lot is a great find. It’s covered with mature trees and light shrubs, giving you a quiet, tucked-away feel while still having open space to work with. It’s the kind of place where you can slow down, enjoy nature, and have your own space without close neighbors.

The property has year-round access on maintained roads, so getting there is easy. Even better, power lines are already on the property, which gives you a big advantage if you plan to build. The land has a slight, buildable slope—nothing too steep—making it a solid option for a cabin, small home, or even an RV setup.

At around 8,427 feet in elevation, you’ll get cool, fresh air, wide mountain views, and clear night skies that are perfect for stargazing. It’s quiet out here, with plenty of space to relax, camp, or just unplug for a while.

Owner financing makes it simple to get started: $500 down and $299 per month for 72 months.

When you’re ready to explore, you’re not far from some of southern Colorado’s best outdoor spots. The Rio Grande National Forest is nearby for hiking, hunting, and fishing, and Great Sand Dunes National Park is within driving distance for a unique day trip. Fort Garland is also close by for basic supplies and essentials.

Whether you want a private retreat, a weekend camping spot, or land to build on later, this 5.1-acre parcel gives you the space and flexibility to make it your own. Reach out for more details.
