Just beyond the iconic Rio Grande Gorge Bridge lies an extraordinary opportunity to bring a visionary, self-sustaining desert sanctuary to life. Set across 5 expansive acres in the breathtaking high desert—This property offers a rare blend of infrastructure, materials, and creative freedom. Whether you’re seeking a private homestead, an off-grid masterpiece, or a multi-dwelling retreat, the foundation is here—waiting for your final touch. The primary homesite features a 50% completed 3-bedroom, 2-bath Earthship-style residence, designed with sustainability and innovation at its core. All permits are fully in place, allowing you to move forward with confidence and ease. Much of the heavy lifting has already been done, with structural framing underway and key elements such as roof glass and cooling tubes installed—critical components for passive solar heating and natural climate control in Earthship construction. Included in the sale are extensive materials to help complete the build, including over 10,000 glass bottles and approximately 50 recycled automobile tires—hallmarks of Earthship architecture that provide both insulation and artistic character. This is not just a construction project; it’s an opportunity to shape a one-of-a-kind home that blends seamlessly with the surrounding landscape. Powering the property is a robust, state-of-the-art solar energy system designed for true off-grid independence. With 16 kilowatts of industrial-grade capacity, 13,000 watts of output, and 240 volts at 100 amps, this system is complemented by advanced lithium battery storage for reliable, around-the-clock energy. A 13,000-watt generator provides additional backup power, ensuring resilience in all conditions. Infrastructure is further supported by a newly installed septic system and a water catchment system, reinforcing the property’s self-sufficient design. While you complete your dream home, comfortable on-site living is already in place. A 2019 Cardinal Forest River 41-foot dual-axle 5th wheel RV is securely anchored and thoughtfully protected—moated and covered to prevent water intrusion and keep out wildlife. This fully functional living space includes air conditioning, running water, a working shower and toilet, and all the everyday comforts you need. An on-demand hot water heater, washer and dryer setup, and additional utilities ensure that life on the property can begin immediately. The second 5-acre parcel remains entirely undeveloped, offering a blank canvas for expansion. Whether you envision building a second home, an additional Earthship, a guesthouse, workshop, or creative retreat space, the possibilities are as vast as the land itself. An extra RV hookup is already installed, making it easy to accommodate guests or additional living arrangements. Beyond the core infrastructure, the property is thoughtfully equipped with features that enhance both functionality and lifestyle. A dedicated solar-powered security system provides peace of mind, while fiber optic internet ensures modern connectivity in this serene, off-grid setting. A chicken coop, dog run, propane tank, and BBQ grill contribute to a homestead feel that’s already taking shape. Numerous tools—including a table saw, jigsaw, and more—will remain on-site, giving you a practical head start in completing the project. And then there are the views. With unobstructed, panoramic vistas in every direction, the property showcases the raw beauty of northern New Mexico, including sweeping 360-degree views of the majestic Sangre de Cristo Mountains. Sunrises and sunsets here are nothing short of spectacular, and the sense of space, privacy, and connection to nature is unmatched. Due to unforeseen circumstances, the sellers are unable to complete their vision—creating a unique opportunity for the next owner to step in and take full creative control. With major systems in place, materials ready, and infrastructure established.
