Visit 10 acres and getaway to this private escape known as The Mesita Ranch!
On the property you can enjoy your off-road toys like ATVs, bikes, dirt bikes, side-by-side vehicles, and snowmobiles on the land: but agree to operate at your own risk.
Nearby you can also fish for trout, float on a raft, kayak, or swim if you desire all within 10 minutes from the site. While not guaranteed, it is common to see various species of roaming wildlife on the property.
The land is situated by the ghost town of Mesita, where you will find present day abandoned buildings and past claims of UFO sightings in the area to explore.
Find yourself in a peaceful and quiet off-the-grid oasis on the frontier while still being connected to civilization. This location receives 4G LTE service from all of the major network carriers.
Don’t forget your own camping supplies, materials to start the fire-pit, and tent! Please remove any trash or waste you have created upon departure.
Be sure to adhere to local Costilla County fire restrictions. There is a first aid kit and fire extinguisher for emergency use.
While The Mesita Ranch sprawls beyond the assigned 10 acres, we ask that you please remain on the designated areas.
