Vast Views, Endless Horizons, Bordering the Wild

Just five minutes from the Ojo Caliente Mineral Springs Resort, this 60-acre offering delivers the rare combination of mountain views, forest access, and unspoiled land that defines Northern New Mexico’s most sought-after landscapes. Bordering Carson National Forest, this property invites exploration, creativity, and connection to the land on a grand scale.

The Property

Comprising two contiguous parcels—20 acres and 40 acres—totaling 60 acres, this exceptional property blends diverse terrain and natural beauty. Panoramic views stretch across the Pedernal, the Sangre de Cristo range, and Taos Mountain, offering a constant sense of perspective and scale.

The land features a piñon-juniper forest, interspersed with white sage, cacti, native grasses, and wildflowers, creating a living tapestry of the high desert. Recognized as a critical wildlife habitat by a local conservation group, the property supports elk, deer, raptors, and other native species, making it a haven for those who value natural ecosystems and open space.

Fiber internet is available, and electric service can be accessed via easement to a nearby line. There is no water system on site, so a well or hauled water will be required. Access is via a recorded road easement, with driveway construction needed to reach ideal build sites.

The Setting

Located just five minutes from the Ojo Caliente Mineral Springs Resort, the property sits within easy reach of dining, spa services, and recreation, yet feels deeply connected to nature. It’s approximately 45 minutes to Taos and 1 hour 30 minutes to Santa Fe, offering proximity to the region’s art, skiing, and cultural hubs while maintaining a sense of spaciousness and privacy.

Here, mesa and mountain meet forest, creating a landscape that feels timeless and expansive—ideal for off-grid living, a weekend retreat, or a nature-based homestead.

A Rare Opportunity

Few properties offer this balance of accessibility, acreage, and adjacency to public land. Whether envisioned as a creative refuge, a long-term investment, or a sustainable living project, this 60-acre tract offers room to grow, explore, and imagine—all within one of Northern New Mexico’s most iconic regions.
