Located about 35 minutes from Taos and 39 minutes from Santa Fe,, this property sits right in the middle of it all. Whether you’re heading to Taos Ski Valley or Ski Santa Fe, rafting down the Rio Grande Gorge, visiting wineries along the Española Valley, spending a weekend exploring galleries and museums, or commuting to work in Los Alamos—this location makes it easy to do all of it. With 4.27 acres, this lot already has key infrastructure in place: a 220 power meter, septic system, and community water connection. That’s a big head start compared to most vacant land. There’s also a deck already built and RV hookups in place, which is a great setup if you’re planning to build over time or live on-site while you do it. The land offers multiple ready-to-build areas (2–3 good sites), giving you flexibility in how you lay things out. There’s also frontage along CR 41, with potential to subdivide that portion down the road, if needed. The terrain is usable and flexible, whether you’re planning a primary residence, second home, or a small family setup. Rio Arriba County allows for a range of uses, including livestock and horses, which is getting harder to find in more restricted areas. This is one of those properties that already has the essentials in place—so you can focus on building, not starting from scratch.
