This is a fenced acreage for sale in the Jemez mountains north of Ponderosa, south of the Valles Caldera National Preserve, off of forest road 10. This property is a mostly open meadow surrounded by Santa Fe national forest at around 8,000 feet elevation. There are 2 springs, gates and fences that make it suitable for use as a pasture for horses or livestock. It can support around a dozen cattle (depending on rainfall) through the summer months. It has good access via State Hwy 4 and FR10, cell phone 4G wireless coverage, and co-op power lines maybe 600 yards away. This area is scenic with ponderosa, aspen, oak, fir and spruce trees. This region of the forest is in good condition and is part of the Southwest Jemez Collaborative Landscape Restoration Project via the Santa Fe National Forest. I've seen lots of wild life here too, including elk, bear, deer, prairie dogs, raptors, badgers, fox, coyotes, bobcats, rabbits, etc. This property should qualify for landowner elk tags from NM fish and game. Albuquerque is maybe 80 minutes away, LANL/Los Alamos is around 40 minutes, Jemez Springs is maybe 30, and similar access to Fenton Lake, East Fork, hot springs, etc. Due to the availability of internet and cell phone, I've been able to work or be "on call" from an idyllic retreat away from the city. Shown by appointment due to gates.
This property is off market, which means it's not currently listed for sale or rent on Zillow. This may be different from what's available on other websites or public sources.
