Property Description
Parcel 70263760 – 9.31 Acres | Sangre de Cristo Ranches | Costilla County, Colorado
Located on the north side of the scenic Joy Road, this beautiful 9.31-acre parcel offers a unique combination of lower elevation, lush vegetation, and stunning mountain scenery. A steep mountainside creates a dramatic backdrop while providing privacy and a picturesque setting. The lower portion of the property, along Joy Road, features several excellent potential building sites that are gently elevated above the roadway.
This is one of the most unique parcels in the area, offering peaceful seclusion while remaining just minutes from town with year-round access.
Several successful water wells have been drilled on nearby properties at depths ranging from approximately 100 to 280 feet. However, there is no guarantee that groundwater exists beneath this property or that a well can be successfully drilled. Buyers are encouraged to conduct their own due diligence regarding water availability.
The south-facing side of this canyon receives abundant sunshine, making the property well-suited for solar power. A seasonal stream located across the road helps keep the surrounding area green and attracts an abundance of wildlife, creating an exceptional natural setting.
Whether you're looking to build a cabin, create an off-grid retreat, or simply own a beautiful piece of Southern Colorado, this property offers an outstanding opportunity.

- REALTOR ® / Broker Associate License ID: FA.100108858
With more than 20 years in Douglas County, I bring both local knowledge and a personal understanding of how our housing needs change through different seasons of life. As an empty nester who has also experienced multi-generational living firsthand, I especially enjoy helping clients think through what they need from a home today—and what will serve them well in the years ahead.
My approach to real estate is shaped by a diverse professional background. I earned a law degree and spent years in senior corporate leadership, including leading a business division responsible for product acquisition and development, sales, marketing, and overall performance. Today, alongside our real estate business, we own a residential remodeling and handyman company. That combination brings business leadership, strategic negotiation, marketing expertise, legal education, and hands-on knowledge of homes to every transaction.
For sellers, I help determine what’s worth doing—and what isn’t—to prepare and position a home for the best possible result. When updates make sense, our pay-at-close renovation option can help coordinate practical improvements without requiring upfront payment. For buyers, I bring the same thoughtful approach to evaluating a home’s condition, potential, functionality, and long-term value.
Above all, I’m a calm, strategic, and hands-on partner who believes great representation is personal. Whether I’m developing a pricing strategy, negotiating on your behalf, coordinating contractors and staging, or hanging curtains before photos, I treat your move with the same care I would my own.
