The Cliffs at Crystal MesaLot 15 at The Cliffs at Crystal Mesa offers 30.36 acres of pristine high-desert beauty, surrounded by expansive views and direct access to the Santa Fe National Forest. Tucked inside a newly developed, gated community in the historic Pecos Valley, this parcel is ideal for those seeking peace, privacy, and a deep connection to nature -- all within 25-30 minutes of Santa Fe. The 400-acre subdivision is designed with modern infrastructure including shared wells, underground electric and telephone lines, fire hydrants, and well-maintained roads. Residents also enjoy miles of private hiking and biking trails that wind through the forested landscape, offering endless opportunities for exploration. A central community space with a built-in BBQ pit is already available for use, and the surrounding gathering area is still being enhanced -- a welcoming environment for future neighborhood gatherings and events. With flexible covenants that embrace creativity and low-impact building, owners are encouraged to design homes that reflect their lifestyle -- whether that means modern natural construction, passive solar integration, or indoor/outdoor living spaces that honor the landscape. Lot 15 is your canvas for creating a soulful retreat in one of Northern New Mexico's most inspiring settings.
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.
