Description

What do you think of when Northern New Mexico comes to mind? Adobe architecture known for its soft lines? Vast views of rolling hills and the grand Sangre de Cristo Mountain Range? How about seclusion, quiet solitude? Well, here is an opportunity to have all that the special land here embodies. Located at 93 Coyote Moon Drive, this property is part of a small off-grid community with well-maintained roads, large lots for privacy, and incredible views. The home is constructed from straw bale, a natural insulator, and has undergone major renovations, including a complete new bathroom and an arctic/mud room entry on the north side of the home for added storage, washer, winter coats, and boots. The total square footage, measured from the outside, is 1,525 square feet. The house had a new roof installed in 2019 and features a fully overhauled water filtration and pump system. In 2020, a second solar panel array was added to complement the original system, along with new "Outback" controllers, a new inverter, and 12 new L-16 AGM batteries. The home features South facing glass for solar gain, propane heat, and a large wood-burning fireplace for cold nights. The tongue and groove ceilings are 9.5 feet high with upgraded lighting, a Saltillo tile floor adorns the floors, and there is even an indoor garden. Most of the furniture is included in the sale. Please see exclusion list for details. This one-bedroom home also includes a sunroom that can double as a single bed/office/art studio, along with a loft bed area. The home sits on 55+ acres of land which includes a 15-acre lot to the north, which is non-buildable, but serves as a buffer and a habitat for elk and birds when the arroyo/pond has water. The entire western boundary of the property borders BLM land, assuring privacy and protecting your views. Outbuildings on the property include a large tool shed with deck, a wood and garden shed, and a very special outhouse with a composting toilet, ideal for visitors with campers. There is also a spacious three-bay post-and-beam carport, large enough to accommodate campers. Its 1,000 sq. ft. metal roof is ideal for additional water collection, directing runoff into a 500-gallon tank. Domestic water is provided by cisterns that have a total capacity of 6,000 gallons, and the property includes a membership to the community well, granting the owner 2,000 gallons per month. The home is not connected to the well and does require the water to be delivered to the home by a local water hauler. All water is pulled through multiple stage filters before reaching the home, guaranteeing fresh water from the tap. Wildlife in the area includes elk, pronghorn, coyotes, hawks, quail, and flocks of migrating Sandhill cranes. The property offers stunning 360-degree views, including the Sangre de Cristo Mountains and Wheeler Peak, the highest mountain in New Mexico. The area is exceptionally quiet, and the night sky is so clear that a telescope is highly recommended. The HOA is reasonably priced at $375 per year and offers great value by maintaining the roads, protecting property investments, and being highly responsive to residents' needs. There is also a suggested/optional annual fee for the community well of $125. Internet connectivity is provided by Taos Net, offering speeds to match your needs. Come take a look and see if this expansive, well-planned property is right for you.
