TAOS, NM 87571

Rare, large (9.7 acre) improved parcel of land in Taos County tied to Town of Taos sewer in Canon with shared well with rights to 8.85 acre feet of water rights. Development rights for 18 units. Gently sloping valley land with magnificent views to north, east and south, fronting on the Rio Fernando de Taos. Located in the Canon area just 2 miles from Taos Plaza. Improvement details: adjudicated surface water rights to the Acequia Madre del Canon and with a shared interest in three wells (RG-26263, RG-40734, RG-63511) for domestic use per Section 75-11-1 on New Mexico Statutes. The owners have installed a 12,000 gal septic tank and lift station to support the effluent discharge of the existing 12 condominium units (Vista del Canon Condos), the adjacent San Geronimo Lodge (now called the Blue Sky Retreat Center) and another nine duplexes consisting of 2-bed and 3-bed units that could be developed on this land. Land details: Located along the SW banks of the Rio Fernando de Taos that originates in the Sangre de Cristo mountains to the east, this is cleared valley land that slopes towards the north and is flanked on the north boundary by a fringe of trees that are a combination of narrow leafed and broad-leafed cottonwoods and elms that hug the bank of this seasonal creek. Its proximity to the juniper and pinon clad foothills of the Sangre de Cristo mountains to the north and east (being the Carson National Forest) and the availability of water mean that this land hosts an abundance of both wildlife and bird life all year round. The riparian landscape along the creek is a "no-build" zone. Located just outside the town limits, the 3.8 mile drive to Taos Plaza along Witt Road and Kit Carson road is very congenial and attractive to the modern homeowner who seeks the feel of the rural along with views of Taos Mountain and El Salto but also enjoys the proximity of the amenities of the Town of Taos. This parcel is ideal for the developer/owner who sees the long term value of the Taos RE market.
