With no zoning and no deed restrictions, this land offers true flexibility. Camp when you want, build when you're ready, bring an RV, set up a basecamp, or simply hold it as a long-term retreat. If you've ever dreamed of having an affordable place where you can escape whenever nature beckons-this is it. Never pay for a campsite again.

Nice tall 20' plus trees all over the property add to privacy and keep the winds down.

Local Attractions

The area offers access to some of northern New Mexico's most sought-after outdoor recreation, including Carson National Forest just 12 minutes west, which spans over a million acres of public land with extensive hiking, mountain biking, hunting, and seasonal snow sports across diverse high-desert and alpine terrain. Nearby, the Río Grande del Norte National Monument protects dramatic volcanic landscapes and deep river gorges, popular for hiking, wildlife viewing, rafting, and world-class fly fishing along the Río Grande. Eagle Nest Lake State Park is another regional highlight, known for boating, paddleboarding, and trout fishing, with open shoreline access and mountain views that draw both anglers and campers. For everyday essentials and groceries, the famously artsy town of Taos serves as the region's cultural center and offers lots of local boutique shopping plus big box stores like Walmart. Santa Fe is the closest major city, offering expanded dining, medical services, cultural attractions, and transportation access.

For Sale by Owner: We are investors, and are selling this lot For-Sale-By-Owner. You do not need to submit your offer through a real estate agent, and in our experience we close transactions more quickly and easily by having our dedicated transaction coordinator work directly with the Title Company and Buyers. We will also both save money on commission/fees by cutting out agents as the middle men. However, if you feel strongly about working with a Realtor, then you're welcome to have them contact us on your behalf.

Why Are You Selling It So Cheap? We are often asked why we price our properties at below market value, and the answer is really simple: because we can, and that's our core business model. We are investors who purchase properties at a large volume and deeply liquidated rates, and by passing this discount on to our buyers, we can sell land quickly...and more of it. In fact, our average property only lasts 2-3 weeks on the market (vs. industry average of about 6 months).

Disclaimer: We attempt to provide detailed, accurate and up-to-date information in our listings, in order to help our buyers to the best of our ability. However, it ultimately remains the buyers responsibility to perform their own due diligence and double check any details that are of significant importance to you including acreage, utilities, buildability, and approved/allowable usage for the property. We are happy to help however we can.
