Retreat to your own private oasis…on this gorgeous 160-acre property near Villanueva with convenient newly installed, high-speed fiber-optic internet. A unique meeting of NM ecosystems – piñon forest, fertile canyonlands and grasslands, scrub oak, juniper, and ponderosas. Wildlife abounds – bobcats, foxes, black bears, turkeys, deer, axolotl salamanders, and a huge variety of birds have all been spotted, often coming to the large seasonal arroyo to get water. Established small perennials include currants, quince, jujubes, apples, pomegranates, cherries, horseradish, rhubarb, comfrey, horehound, spearmint, lavender, yarrow, and other herbs. Put your study of permaculture into action with productive garden beds with amended soil and drip irrigation. Only organic and non-GMO enrichments and seeds used. The thoughtfully designed 300 sq. ft. cottage has all the modern conveniences, equipped with a fully-functioning kitchen, bathroom with artisan plastered Milestone shower, laundry area, and loft. Property has a private well and septic. It is connected to the power grid, but has a transfer switch for generator/alternative energy backup. There is an RV hookup site (water, electric, and septic connected). It has a heated bunk house, a teepee (that could be used as a hipcamp, but is currently used as a space for zoom meetings), and a chicken mansion with nicely fenced run. Heed the call and come back-to-the-land!
