Dramatic and pristine, this bucolic and rare parcel of irrigated land is situated on the north side of Des Montes just above the lush Arroyo Hondo River Valley of Taos. Consisting of approximately 18 fenced and private acres, the property has served as a family legacy for decades with a gregarious history dating back to the late 1800’s. Now it is being offered to those in search of a development, equestrian or estate property, close to Taos and Valdez with nearby paved access from Rim Road. There are 7.8 flat and buildable acres with dramatic 360-degree mountain range views and 21.5 acre-feet of surface water rights. The remaining 10 +/- acres slope down to the south into the Canada De La Madera with wooded terrain, ideal for wildlife and birds, a perfect blend of landscape for those seeking an escape into nature and tranquility. Electricity is nearby with a drivable ingress/egress/utility access easement from Rim Road. This type of northern New Mexico property is a rarity and one not to be missed by those looking for a dramatic retreat property with such substantial water rights.
