Natural run-off streams down part of this property making this land perfect for true nature-lovers! The 48-acre property is split between two parcels (one with 35.842 and the other with 12.354 acres), with legal road frontage on both sides, and is best accessed 9 months out of the year. There are plenty of level areas for building and Costilla County allows for one single-family residence per parcel. Septic will be required to build, and you can apply for a domestic well permit (household + gardening). There is no HOA, so only the county building code will apply.
