Property Description
Big sky views and starry nights await on this improved 40-acre building lot — a prime location for your off-grid dream home. Power and a fiber optic connection are in place at the center of the parcel, and access is direct from SR 64 via maintained County road. 360 degree views to Three Peaks, Two Peaks and the Eastern Mountains. You're just 20 minutes from Taos and 40 minutes from the Ski Valley. The lot offers flexibility: split into two 20-acre parcels or subdivide into up to four 10-acre parcels at the minimum lot size. Basic water infrastructure is in place with two spigots, control valves, and connecting pipe — laid out in anticipation of a well to serve up to two locations on the property (Buyer to Confirm). Prior Warranty Deed restricts trailers except during construction of the primary residence, not to exceed one year; buyer to verify and satisfy themselves. Seller believes fiber optic service is active based on the presence of a Kit Carson Communications pillar adjacent to the power meter and breaker box, but has not confirmed service is live — buyer must verify. Underground plumbing (pipes between spigots and to the meter location) has not been confirmed by excavation; seller and broker make no warranty as to its existence or serviceability. Buyer to satisfy themselves regarding all utilities and infrastructure.
