Here’s your chance to own two side-by-side lots totaling 1.95 acres in the peaceful, private Zapata subdivision of Alamosa County, Colorado. Tucked in the foothills of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains and just minutes from the breathtaking Great Sand Dunes National Park. This is the kind of place that makes you want to slow down, breathe deep, and build something that lasts.

These lots are gently sloped, dotted with trees and native shrubs, and back up to open space—perfect for anyone looking to escape the city and connect with the land. Whether you're dreaming of a full-time home, a weekend getaway, or even just a long-term investment, this spot offers flexibility and beauty in equal measure.

The Zapata subdivision is a gated mountain community with maintained roads, friendly neighbors, and the kind of quiet you didn’t know you were missing. Zoned for residential use, you can build a single-family home, bring in a post-1976 mobile, or live part-time in an RV (with septic and permits). Ideal for part-time mountain living or as a base camp for exploring the area, camping is permitted for up to 180 days per year.

And speaking of exploring—Zapata Falls, Great Sand Dunes National Park, Cano’s Castle, Fort Garland Museum, and even the quirky UFO Watchtower are all just a short drive away. There’s no shortage of adventure, history, and natural beauty in this part of Southern Colorado.
Utilities? Power is nearby through Xcel Energy. You’ll need a well or cistern for water (water hauling isn’t allowed here), and a septic system for wastewater. Propane is typically used for heating. Access is easy via county-maintained Cedar Ridge Road, and while the community has some rules to keep property values up, there are no annual HOA dues—just you and your land.

If you’re looking for peace, space, and a place to create your version of Colorado living, these lots check every box. Reach out and let’s talk—this might be just the opportunity you've been waiting for.
