Welcome to the Zia Cabin of the Rocky Mountains, a rare Northern New Mexico retreat where mountain living, modern comfort and future potential come together beneath the dramatic beauty of Starvation Peak. Completed in 2026, this immaculate, turnkey 1,340 square foot cabin with loft is thoughtfully positioned on 2.24 fully fenced acres to capture sweeping skies, wildlife and unforgettable 360 degree views. Long before wagon caravans traveled the Santa Fe Trail, Indigenous peoples lived, traded and moved throughout this region, and Starvation Peak later became a prominent landmark along the historic route. Its striking silhouette creates a powerful sense of place and a spectacular backdrop. Built with quality 2x6 construction and durable lap siding, the two story cabin features a wraparound porch with recessed lighting, a main level bedroom, full bath, loft with sliding staircase, mini-split for heating and cooling, propane ventless fireplace, stackable washer/dryer hookups with an exceptional kitchen. Rock bordered paths wind through mature and young trees, perennial plantings and outdoor spaces alive with birds and wildlife. Additional features include a 25'x30' covered carport, 3 outdoor water spigots and 2 RV hookups. Keep this property exactly as it is or expand your dream with a level building site already stubbed for an additional 2,500 to 3,000 sqft home. Shared well, septic, propane, fiber optic internet and 220 amp electrical in place. Manufactured, modular and site built homes are permitted, and horses are welcome. With easy access to I-25, approximately 20 minutes from Las Vegas and 45 minutes to Santa Fe, this property offers the feel of a private mountain escape without sacrificing convenience. Move in, work remotely, create a family compound, enjoy it as a vacation home or build the mountain estate you have imagined. This is more than a home, it is a turnkey lifestyle waiting to be discovered.
