11.2 acres of pristine land sheltered by gorgeous red-rock cliffs to the north (Mesa de las Casas) and east (National Forest on Mesa de los Datiles), with spectacular views of the Jemez River bosque and Jemez Valley from the eastern side. Secluded from neighbors, yet just minutes from Jemez Springs and a short 45 minute commute into Rio Rancho. All-native vegetation features mature pinyon and juniper trees, mountain mahogany, sagebrush and wildflowers (feather daleas, Colorado four o'clocks, daisies, and scarlet hedgehog). This terrace is steeped in history: 200-300 million year old petrified wood and Dimetrodon dinosaur fossils have been discovered nearby! Enjoy the most spectacular sunrises and sunsets surrounded by year-round beauty. Situated on a county-maintained road.
