Build Your Back-to-Basics Homestead on Wild Horse Mesa

If you’ve been searching for a place where you can live deliberately, build simply, and reconnect with the land, this 2.5-acre parcel WITH POWER on Wild Horse Mesa in Costilla County, Colorado deserves your attention.

Set high on the mesa with expansive views of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, this property offers the rare balance many homesteaders want: privacy and freedom, paired with real infrastructure that makes building practical and affordable. Whether your vision includes a modest cabin, a full-time off-grid homestead, or a phased build over time, this land supports it.

A Place for Independence — Very Few Restrictions

There’s no HOA, no rush to build, and no pressure to conform to a one-size-fits-all lifestyle. There is an optional WHM Neighborhood Association that you can join for $35.00 if you choose.

Here, you can:

• Build when you’re ready — not on someone else’s timeline

• Choose alternative or traditional construction methods

• Live seasonally or year-round

• Develop your land gradually as resources allow

This is land that respects your right to do things your own way.

This property is well-suited for true off-grid living, but it also offers something increasingly rare: power poles located directly at the road. That gives you options.

• Stay fully off-grid with solar, propane, and hauled water

• Or connect to grid power at the road for easier financing, resale, or full-time living

• Well permits are available

• Bulk water hauling is available from the nearby Wild Horse Mesa Community Center, just two miles away

• Septic permit available

Whether you want complete energy independence or a hybrid setup, the groundwork is already in place.

Live Among the Wild — Literally

Wild Horse Mesa is home to over 150 free-roaming wild horses, descendants of Spanish mustangs that have moved across this land for generations. Seeing them graze nearby or move quietly across the horizon is a regular part of life here.

They’re more than scenery — they’re a reminder of what it means to live untamed, resilient, and self-reliant. And if you bring horses of your own, they’re welcome too.

Practical Access, Real Seclusion

Despite its remote feel, the property enjoys year-round access via maintained county roads. You won’t need specialized vehicles just to reach your land, and supplies are accessible in nearby towns like San Luis (the county seat), Fort Garland, and Alamosa. And the nearby Sanchez Reservoir is ready for your boating enjoyment!

This makes Wild Horse Mesa ideal for:

• Full-time homesteaders

• Seasonal residents building in stages

• Remote workers seeking quiet and space

• Anyone relocating from more restrictive states

This Is Land You Can Grow Into

Whether you plan to start small and expand, or build your forever homestead from day one, this parcel gives you the breathing room to do it right. Low holding costs, flexible development options, and authentic rural character make it a smart long-term choice.

At Wild Horse Mesa, you’re not just buying acreage — you’re claiming the freedom to live intentionally.
