1681 Camino Real, Crestone, CO 81131

Property Description

A well-situated 1/2 acre lot with the convenience of a paved road, quiet cul-de-sac access, and water and sewer services available. A dry arroyo naturally separates the lot from the road, lending a sense of seclusion. Ponderosa pines fill the lot with their distinctive vanilla-butterscotch aroma. Rocky soil and varied terrain add character, and the views stretch across both the sweeping San Luis Valley and the dramatic Sangre de Cristo peaks. Saguache County's minimal building codes welcome alternative construction methods including hempcrete, earth bag, and straw bale, giving builders rare freedom to create a truly custom, sustainable home. Located in the Baca Grande POA, which offers residents a golf course, trails, and equestrian facilities. Just 8 minutes from downtown Crestone with its post office, bank, café, art gallery, and grocery. Surrounded by 14er peaks, world-class hiking, the Great Sand Dunes National Park, natural hot springs, and one of Colorado's most celebrated Dark Sky communities. Clean air, clean water, and a truly unique spiritual and artistic community make Crestone one of the San Luis Valley's most sought-after destinations.
