Region:  West of the Gorge   MLS Zone:  Tres Piedras (46A)

(click region or zone for area information)

NOTE:  Some photographs on this website may be on the adjacent 160 acres that was split off and sold by the seller rather than the portion of the property currently for sale.

Rounded pink mounds of granite dotted with ponderosa pine strangely protrude out of the valley floor near Tres Piedras and occupy a portion of this 120 acre tract of land presently for sale.  Those looking for an incredibly beautiful piece of land with nearby highway access, at a very reasonable price, will find this property very inviting.

 The following video tour will introduce you to this beautiful land.

Location and Map

The map to the right shows the property (outlined in magenta) and the nearby roads and highways.  The community of Tres Piedras sits at the junction of US 285 and US 64.  From this junction, Taos is about 30 miles to the east via US 64 and Santa Fe is about 70 miles to the south via US 285.  Both of these highways offer year round access.

The property is entered through Camino Papagayo which is 1.5 miles south of the intersection of US 64 an US 285.  Directly across the highway is Forest Road 222. The property starts past a gate just over 1/2 mile east of US 285.

The map shows the dimensions of the property.  It is best thought of as two rectangles touching in the middle.  The eastern rectangle is exactly one mile long and one quarter mile wide and contains 160 acres.  The western rectangle is three quarters of a mile long and one quarter mile wide and contains 120 acres.

The property sits just to the east of the famed Chili Line railroad grade which used to connect Santa Fe to the San Luis Valley of Colorado.  Historically Passengers going to Taos would disembark at Tres Piedras and then travel via stage coach via the John Dunn toll bridge at Arroyo Hondo.

 

 

 
The aerial view shows features of the property. 

Immediately to the east of the property sits the Arroyo Aguaje de la Petaca.  This seasonal drainage runs through a shallow canyon and drains much of western Taos County before entering the Rio Grande.  It serves as a migration corridor and habitat for elk, deer, lion, bear, and numerous other animals.  Prehistoric Native Americans used it as a hunting ground and left rock art along its canyon walls.  The area of the property adjacent to the arroyo features piņon pine and juniper.

The granite out cropping sits by the southern border of the western section.  This distinctive geological feature provides intriguing beauty and traps enough water to support the growth of ponderosa pines.

Sagebrush covers most of the property giving expansive views.

 

 

This picture provides a good representation of the property.  To the right, you see the edge of the granite outcropping.  View to the east show Taos Mountain, Wheeler Peak and other mountains of the Sangre de Cristo Range.  These all sit about 30 miles across the valley.

The mountains to the west of the property are only a little over a mile away, but due the slope of the land seem farther.

The western portion of the property features a scattering of taller ponderosa pines along with piņon and junipers.  They exquisitely frame the unspoiled mountain views in all directions.
