Create your own off-grid escape on this 5.04-acre lot in Pine Meadows Ranch. With great tree cover, some open spaces and stunning views, this is the high desert retreat you have been searching for. Build your dream house here, park your RV, or pitch your tent. You can even live in a tiny home! With no restrictions on camping or building, you can live the alternative lifestyle you’ve always dreamed of. Build only when – or if – you are ready. There are no rules on ATVs either. This lot does not have any covenants and Cibola County does not have zoning restrictions to hinder your dream.

There is good dirt road access to this property. It is best suited for off-grid living as the nearest power is 1 mile away. Plentiful sunshine in this high desert environment is ideal for solar power, and southern-facing panels would be easy to install as the grading on the property is flat. Average well depths in this area range from 200-800 ft. There is no Homeowners Association, deed restrictions or annual Association dues of any kind. This is a very secluded location and best suited for people seeking land ownership well away from neighboring owners and who place a premium on the freedom to use and work their land in a quiet and peaceful wilderness setting free of urban noise and pollution.

This property is in New Mexico’s desirable Game Management Unit 12, which boasts some of the largest elk in the state. You will also find mule deer and pronghorn here. Hunt right from your property with proper NM tags.

​​A unique feature of this property is that there is a small foundation that a previous owner installed, which can be the start of your tiny home or a small cabin. Similarly, a small water tank exists on the property. These improvements have not been factored into the pricing of the property so they are an added bonus (the foundation and water tank have not been inspected and will be assumed as-is by buyer).
