Legendary Riverfront Estate Near Historic Taos Off of Highway 518, close to Taos, New Mexico, here in Pot Creek, you will find an absolutely legendary property at just over 16 acres of absolute beauty. A property with this much to offer is a rare, rare, rare occurrence here in northern New Mexico—there is truly not a single property like this one out there. With nearly a quarter acre of river here on the Rio Pueblo de Rancho, the headwaters of the Rio Grande River, this is a water-rich piece of land and an angler's dream, featuring rainbow trout, German brown trout, and an occasional brook trout. Rich with history, millworkers used to live here and had several cabins throughout the property, with an old Forest Road running right through it. Today, with an electric line already at the prop erty and multiple build locations to your desire, there are countless opportunities to make your own mountain ranch. Right in your very own backyard, you border hundreds of thousands of acres of U.S. National Forest, with the immediate 220 acres being entirely protected, giving you established hiking trails of all levels right outside your back door. Another notable feature of this property, especially for the green thumb, is that it has the largest privately owned ponderosa tree stand in the entire country. That, along with sprawling cottonwoods along the river, blue spruce, chokecherries, juniper, and a lone fig tree, fills the land with wildlife like wild turkey, deer, and elk who frequent the property to bed down alongside the creek. For the avid sportsman, there is even the possibility to secure landowner elk permits through NMGAF, or you can hunt for other game right on your very own property. Right off the famed High Road to Chimayo or Mora in the other direction, you are only 12 miles from the Historic Taos Plaza for a step back in time exploring old adobe museums, enjoying some of the best food in the state, and shopping in galleries. Some photos have virtually depicted homes to spark your creativity, as this is not just a piece of land; it is a timeless sanctuary where the river hums and the ancient forest stands guard. Your northern New Mexico legacy is waiting to be written—come walk beneath the towering pines, breathe in the boundless mountain air, and claim this once-in-a-lifetime expanse to anchor your story for generations to come.
