The Cliffs at Crystal Mesa, Lot 16 is an 8.20-acre gem in The Cliffs at Crystal Mesa -- a newly developed, gated community set amidst the breathtaking beauty of the historic Pecos Valley. Backing up to the Santa Fe National Forest, this homesite offers intimate access to nature, stunning vistas, and a sense of peace that's hard to find, all just 25-30 minutes from Santa Fe. The community spans 400 acres and is thoughtfully equipped with shared wells, underground electric and telephone lines, fire hydrants, and well-maintained roads. Residents enjoy miles of private hiking and biking trails that weave through the serene landscape, encouraging a lifestyle deeply connected to the land. A community gathering area with a built-in BBQ pit is already in place, and further enhancements are underway to enrich the space as a welcoming destination for connection, relaxation, and celebration. Covenants are intentionally designed to support flexibility and creativity, allowing for a range of architectural styles including modern natural buildings, passive solar homes, and seamless indoor/outdoor living concepts. Lot 16 is the perfect opportunity to build a thoughtfully crafted home in a soulful, nature-immersed setting
These small communities are located in the southern Sangre de Cristo Mountains along Interstate 25 on the east side of Glorieta Pass (elevation 7500 ft.). With many homes backing up to National Forest land, these areas are ideal for those wanting peaceful seclusion within commuting distance of Santa Fe.
