16.04 Acres

Ribera, New Mexico, 87565

Sixteen acres of pristine grassland, not grazed in decades! The rich variation of native grasses, including gramma grass, give the property a beautiful flowing yellow sheen which contrasts with the dark green of pinon and juniper, and the view of Rowe Mesa to the south and the surrounding mountains. The property was reseeded with a New Mexico native wildflower mix, to add to the existing Paintbrush, Prairie Verbena, Fendler's Penstemon and wild sunflowers - imagine the burst of color in the spring and summer! Lovely large rock formations provide natural landscaping and enchanting spots for picnics. The parcel is largely level, with multiple opportunities for ideal building sites. Many horse farms and ranches are active on CR B55, and there are several beautiful country homes. There are no utilities on the property, but surrounding properties have excellent wells, and attachments to the listing include estimates from drillers. The property is completely fenced. CR B55 is regularly maintained by the county and provides opportunities for hiking and horseback riding. The Owner will also provide information for a driveway contractor/road construction contact familiar with the property. The location is great - just under a mile from I-25, with easy access to Santa Fe (35 minutes) and Las Vegas (20 minutes).
