This 1.14-acre lot sits inside the gated Zapata HOA, with level ground and room to put a real plan together. It exceeds the HOA's stated one-acre minimum for a residential permit, and the flat terrain gives a future home site a straightforward starting point. Any construction remains subject to HOA architectural review and Alamosa County approval. The view is where a thoughtful design could pay off. A home plan that adds some elevation may open the sightline across the San Luis Valley toward Great Sand Dunes. Zapata's low-impact lighting standards support a dark-sky setting while keeping exterior lighting controlled. This parcel makes sense for a solar-first plan. Power is reported to be about 500 feet away, so a buyer can compare a solar system with the cost and requirements of a line extension before deciding. Confirm the provider, route, easements, meter location, service availability, and all connection costs during due diligence. The gated setting keeps the property in the Zapata foothills, with HOA BLM-access points for getting beyond the neighborhood. Zapata Falls and its BLM recreation area are nearby, along with Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve. The falls involve a short, rocky hike; confirm current community access rules and lawful public-land routes before use. This is land for the buyer who wants a manageable parcel and a credible path toward a valley-view home rather than an unplanned remote lot. Contact the listing broker for the plat, HOA documents, GPS location, current gate/showing instructions, and directions to the community BLM-access points.
