This one is for the family that keeps saying, every Thanksgiving, that you should all buy land together.
Here is how you actually do it. This is 5 acres on Antonito Road outside San Luis, Colorado, and we have more 5-acre lots for sale right nearby. One of our favorite buyers did exactly this: the family bought several lots and made their own compound. Each household gets its own deed and its own payment, and the cousins get a whole lot of room to run.
Honest expectations: it is dry, open, high desert at around 7,500 feet. No trees to speak of, no utilities, dirt roads. What you get is space, quiet, mountain views and a place that belongs to your family.
The details: 5 acres, Lot 21 Antonito Rd, Costilla County, Colorado. APN 71530170. Property taxes run about $73.76 a year. We have other 5-acre lots for sale close by on Antonito Rd and Buena Ventura, so a family can buy several near each other. This is an off-grid area, so plan on solar and your own water solution, and call Costilla County Planning & Zoning about camping, RV and building rules before you make plans.
Price is $10,000. Owner financing at 0% interest: $500 down and $214.06/month for 48 months. That payment already includes property taxes and a $10 note fee. Paying cash? We’ll discount it to $6,500. One-time non-refundable doc fee. No credit check, no SSN, no bank.
