Hwy 142, Manassa, CO 81141

Property Description

This 5-acre parcel just outside Manassa, Colorado, offers wide open views of the San Luis Valley with a backdrop that includes FlatTop Mountain, Saddleback Mountain, Island Rock, and the Pinon Hills. The lot is covered in native grasses and brush, with level ground that makes it well-suited for camping, homesteading, or building an off-grid getaway. Access comes via a dirt easement road, and it's about an 8-10 minute drive into Manassa for basic services and supplies. There are no utilities in place, so solar or generator power would be needed, along with a septic system and cistern for a home build. Cell service was available on site, and all construction would need to follow standard Conejos County building regulations. The area is peaceful and remote, but you're not far from outdoor adventure. The Rio Grande River and Rio Grande Natural Area are nearby, offering hiking trails, wildlife viewing, and a chance to see wild horses roam the open range. If you're looking for land with privacy, views, and potential, this property offers a beautiful blank slate in southern Colorado.
