Frequently Asked Questions

Is the property surveyed, fenced or marked?

Unless noted above, the property is not staked or marked off, nor is there a sign. GPS coordinates are provide for general boundary locations. For exact locations, a survey may be conducted at the buyers expense.

Does the property already have utilities?

Electric:
Sometimes there is power in the area, but it would be the buyers responsibility to have it run from the closest pole, which may be up to 2 miles away. Many people that build cabins install solar. Properties in Wild Horse Mesa and San Luis Valley Ranches will have power lines closer. Properties in Sangre de Cristo Ranches and Forbes Park will be more remote.

Water and Waste:
Costilla County requires water and waste to grant an occupancy or building permit. This may be drilling a well or installing a cistern or holding tank and hauling water in. Wells generally range from 100-400 ft in the area.

Camping and RVs

Costilla County Land Use
https://www.colorado.gov/pacific/costillacounty/atom/771

(From Section 5)
Long-Term Camping in a Recreational Vehicle is Restricted. Use of a recreational vehicle or other camping shelter for longer than a total of 14 days during any consecutive three months on the same parcel shall require a Long-term Camping Permit, which may be obtained from the Planning Department.

What about hunting?

Hunting is well-supported in the Sangre de Cristo Ranches. Over 5,000 acres of Greenbelt are dedicated to public hunting and recreation. The Sangre de Cristo Ranches are located in Unit 83, which is home to a large population of grouse and elk. The elk population contains approximately 7,000 animals. For more variety, Costilla County is home to deer and antelope. If you are an avid hunter, several parcels above 9,000’ are nestled in the Greenbelt, or right outside the boundary of the Greenbelt.

Shooting is prohibited across roads and within 1/4 mile of occupied residences.

What is the weather like? Is the property accessible year round?

Costilla County Averages:
Summer High: the July high is around 81 degrees
Winter Low: the January low is 7
Rain: averages 12 inches of rain a year
Snow: averages 56 inches of snow a year

Generally, properties below 9,000 ft are accessible most of the year. Certainly on the valley floor and at the base of the Sangre de Cristos are easier to get in and out from the highways and service roads.

Does the property include mineral / water rights?

Mineral Rights:
Sangre de Cristo Ranches property owners receive “50% of undivided interest mineral rights” and SDCR retains the other 50%. Which really means you will have to get their permission to drill or explore … which they won’t. The desire is to keep the property pristine.

Water Rights:
With a permit, you can drill a well. Sangre de Cristo Ranches is somewhat unique, in most of Colorado, you can only irrigate if you have more than 35 acres. In SDCR you can irrigate up to 3,000 sq ft.
