Alamosa County
Mosca Pass Getaway
TBD Mosca Pass Road Mosca, CO 81146
Description
Tucked away in the heart of Alamosa County near the iconic Great Sand Dunes National Park, this unique 85.25-acre property offers a rare combination of access, privacy, and freedom. With 5.25 acres located within the gated Zapata HOA—offering year-round maintained roads and guaranteed access—and an additional 80 acres outside the HOA, you get the best of both worlds: convenience and security, with the freedom to live and recreate without restrictive covenants.
Located at the end of Mosca Pass Road (Above Zapata HOA), this secluded parcel borders tens of thousands of acres of National Forest and BLM land, opening the door to limitless adventure. Step off your own land and into a vast wilderness for hiking, horseback riding, hunting, backpacking, and wildlife watching. Nearby attractions include the Great Sand Dunes National Park, Zapata Falls Trail, San Luis State Wildlife Area, and the pristine Sangre de Cristo Wilderness—all just minutes away.
Set in Colorado Game Management Unit #82, this is a dream property for hunters, with healthy herds of elk, mule deer, black bear, and turkey roaming the area. The unit offers over-the-counter elk tags, making it an accessible and productive hunting basecamp with direct access to vast public lands.
The property itself rises from a flat, usable area at 9,200 feet—ideal for a cabin, RV site, or off-grid retreat—and climbs to over 10,000 feet along a scenic ridge. Enjoy towering ponderosa pines, spruce trees, oak brush, and open meadows, with remnants of old campsites and game trails woven throughout. The elevated ridgetop delivers sweeping views across the San Luis Valley, the Great Sand Dunes, and surrounding snow-capped peaks.
Though incredibly private and off-grid, power is located just 1/3 mile away, giving you options for future improvements. This is the only parcel in the area offering HOA road access benefits without being bound by HOA restrictions on the majority of the land.
Properties like this—with size, seclusion, bordering public land, and proximity to world-class outdoor recreation—are nearly impossible to find in the San Luis Valley. Whether you’re looking for a remote homestead, hunting retreat, weekend escape, or basecamp for endless adventure, this one-of-a-kind property delivers it all.
