All roads are county and state maintained which provide you permanent, legal access to your

property. All of the lots have been surveyed, staked and marked for identification. This was

done many years ago. Some of the corner markers may be difficult to locate without a metal

detector. To establish a physical address and questions regarding zoning and planning call

Costilla County 719-672-9109.

WHAT ABOUT WATER?

You will have several options for water all of which are at your sole expense. They include

drilling a new water well or having water delivered to a water tank you have installed. It is

estimated the depth of the water well will be between 100-200 feet. It is difficult to estimate an

exact cost of drilling a new water well. This will depend upon the company you hire to drill the

well. Prices may vary between different companies from $15 to $55 per foot. We encourage you

to fully investigate every company offering this service and not base your decision solely on the

price. There is no assurance that a productive well can be installed on your land and, if it

cannot, no refund of the purchase price will be made. The purity and chemical content of the

water cannot be determined until each individual well is completed and tested. Contact a

Licensed Colorado Well driller for further information and proposed costs and contact county for

required permits.

WHAT ABOUT UTILITIES?

Electrical lines are several miles away from your land. You will be responsible for any cost of

installation. It costs approximately $5 per foot to extend electrical lines. If you would like to

contact the electric company to find out how much it will cost to run the electrical lines to your

land, you may contact them at: San Luis Valley Rural Electric Cooperative, 719-852-3538 or

800-332-7634. As a way to reduce your costs (both initially and over the long-term), we

recommend you explore the use of alternative/renewal energy sources such as generators,

wind or solar systems for your electrical needs. Both the Federal government and the State of

Colorado have had programs to assist in the payment of a new solar system. The use of

alternative power source will save you a lot of money. In this area, all you will need is a septic

tank and leech field system for your cabin or home. For prices, check with a hardware store.

Before installation of a septic system, a permit must be obtained from the County Health Officer

in San Luis, Colorado. Further information about utilities and who to contact can be provided

upon request.

MAY I USE THE LAND WHILE I'M PAYING FOR IT AND WHEN DO I RECEIVE A DEED

TO MY PROPERTY?

Yes, beginning the very day you sign the purchase contract, the land is yours to use and enjoy.

CAN I RESELL MY PROPERTY IN THE FUTURE AND MAKE A PROFIT?

While there is no guarantee of profit from any land sale, historically land prices have increased

in value. We believe there are many reasons for this upward trend, including inflation,

population growth, a decreasing supply of land, the public's desire for a more natural

environment, trend toward movement away from urban areas and the increasing popularity of

outdoor recreational activities.

IS THERE A PROPERTY OWNERS ASSOCIATION OR ANY RESTRICTIONS ON THE

PROPERTY?

There is no property owners association. Restrictions and land uses are governed by the

Costilla County Planning Department . We highly suggest contacting their office or website for

specifics regarding the uses of your land.

DOES A BUYER HAVE TO BUILD A HOUSE WITHIN A CERTAIN TIME FRAME?

A buyer is never obligated to a timeframe to build on their property.

WHAT IS THE PROPERTY ZONED AND WHAT ARE THE PROPERTY TAXES FOR A

PARCEL?

The property is zoned Residential Vacant Land. Currently, the approximate annual property

taxes calculate to approximately $100 per year but can vary by parcel.

WHAT ARE MOST PEOPLE PLANNING TO DO WITH THEIR LAND?

Most property owners feel that it is a good opportunity to own a nice lot, yet affordable piece of

Colorado. The unique proximity of this property to Alamosa will allow owners to enjoy a country

lifestyle while living just minutes away from the amenities a city has to offer. Some owners plan

to make their property into a second home, while others plan to move to their property after

retirement. Many plan to pass it down to their children or grandchildren, while others plan to

possibly subdivide the property at a later date, keeping some acreage and selling the rest. Many

of the property owners also plan to utilize the property as a permanent home or a recreational

retreat or getaway from the hustle and bustle of the big city. These lots are ready for you to build

your dream home or just enjoy the good feeling of land ownership.
