80 Acres of Northern New Mexico Freedom — Remote, Beautiful, and Full of Possibility

Tucked into the rugged beauty of Rio Arriba County, just north of Regina, NM, this vacant 80-acre parcel is a rare find—where the wild still rules, the views go on forever, and opportunity runs deep. Whether you're dreaming of building a secluded home, creating a weekend retreat, running a few horses or cattle, or securing a private base for hunting in one of New Mexico’s coveted big game units, this land delivers.

Located approximately an hour and a half from Albuquerque or Santa Fe, the property strikes a perfect balance—remote enough to feel like you’ve escaped the world, but close enough to enjoy the convenience of city amenities when needed. From here, you’re less than 30 minutes from the Santa Fe National Forest, with its thousands of acres of public land, trails, wildlife, and wilderness. For water lovers, Abiquiú Lake, El Vado Lake, and Heron Lake State Parks are all within a 45-minute drive—offering fishing, kayaking, and water sports. And in under an hour, you can be in Chama, the historic mountain town known for its scenic railway and access to alpine adventures. You’re also not far from cultural landmarks like Ghost Ranch, Puye Cliff Dwellings, and the Jemez Mountains, each offering unique experiences rooted in New Mexico’s deep and storied past.

The landscape itself is classic New Mexico high desert: rolling mesas, scattered pinyon and juniper, and wide-open skies that light up at sunset. At an elevation near 7,200 feet, the air is crisp, the nights are cool, and the views bring color and clarity in every direction.

Outdoor recreation is built into the lifestyle here, especially for those interested in hunting. This parcel sits squarely in New Mexico Department of Game and Fish Unit 5A—an area renowned for its mule deer and elk populations. Through the state’s EPLUS Small Contributing Ranch program, private landowners like you may have the opportunity to qualify for landowner elk tags. The surrounding terrain of Unit 5A includes sage flats, oak scrub, and ponderosa forests, with limited public access, making private parcels like this valued among hunters.

There are no restrictive covenants here—offering freedom for your vision. If you're looking for solitude, beauty, and real potential in northern New Mexico—land you can use, explore, and enjoy—this 80-acre parcel is ready to welcome your vision.
