The Crestone/Baca Grande area is unique in Colorado, and in Colorado real estate. Crestone is nestled under the 14,000-foot peaks of the Sangre de Cristo mountains in south-central Colorado, just north of the Great Sand Dunes, on the eastern edge of the magnificent San Luis Valley.
Crestone is a quiet and unspoiled rural area of great beauty and calm, that has also become the home to a number of spirtual groups and retreat centers, representing contemplative traditions from around the world.
Bordering the small town of Crestone to the south is the Baca Grande, a large, and still largely unpopulated residential development. Undeveloped lots here far outnumber houses, and prices are still remarkably affordable for such beautiful land.
