Gorgeous 10-acre irrigated parcel on a flat grassy bluff overlooking the Rio Chama with direct views of the Brazos Cliffs to the east and Chama peaks to the north. There is an old-growth juniper forest on the western slope above a neighboring pond. Elk, deer, turkeys, hawks, eagles, and all kinds of wildlife call this place home. There is a year-round soggy spring and surface irrigation rights. Close to Heron and El Vado lakes, the trout-filled Rio Chama, 10 minutes to the Rio Brazos, 45 minutes to the Conejos River, and 1.5 hours to the San Juan for your fishing nuts. Currently has one landowner elk allocation for hunters. Small stream flows all day and night during the irrigation season. Very private. Tricky to find off a short but flat dirt road. Owner is a licensed NM Real Estate Broker.

About 60 miles north of Santa Fe, Abiquiu and surrounding communities of El Rito, Gallina, Ojo Caliente and Chama to the north are some of the most beautiful landscapes New Mexico has to offer.
