Alamosa County Real Estate

If you’re exploring Colorado mountain homes for sale, look at Alamosa County. Located in southern Colorado, Alamosa County is home to 15,000 residents and features 350 sunny days a year.

Alamosa County is lucky to have the Great Sand Dunes National Park, the largest dunes in North America! The Great Sand Dunes National Park is 30 square miles of massive dunes, diverse grasslands, wetlands, conifer and aspen forests, alpine lakes and tundra. 

Alamosa County includes several cities: Alamosa, Hooper and Mosca. Alamosa is the county seat and home to Adams State University.

Fun fact about Alamosa county—it’s nearly all land because only 0.1% of the county is water, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.
