Description
A rare opportunity to own a legacy property along the Rio Grande, held by the same family for generations and thoughtfully preserved for the future. Set on approximately 58 acres, the original owners chose to place the property into a conservation easement to protect its natural beauty, open space, and agricultural use, ensuring the land will remain largely unchanged for years to come. The land itself is both beautiful and highly usable, with a mix of bosque, open pasture, grassland, and river corridor. It offers privacy, wildlife, and a true connection to the landscape. Valuable acequia water rights with a 1695 priority date support farming, grazing, and equestrian use. There are two existing homes on the property totaling over 3,500 square feet. Each has its own character and history and could be used as-is, updated over time, or incorporated into a larger compound. There is also a designated approximately two-acre building envelope, allowing for a new custom home and additional structures if desired. While the conservation easement protects the land from overdevelopment, it still allows for residential use, agriculture, and low-impact recreational or retreat-style use. It’s a nice balance of being able to use the land while knowing it will stay protected. Whether someone is looking for a private retreat, a small ranch, a multigenerational setup, or simply a place with meaning and history, this is a property that doesn’t come along often.
