Access & Utilities

Roads & Access: The subject property is located just north of US Highway 64 on an unmarked road that horseshoes through the subdivision and back to the Highway. This road appears regularly trafficked though largely unmaintained. Because of this, a larger truck or off-road capable vehicle is recommended for anyone scouting the property.

Roads & Access, Cont'd: There are two gates posted at the entrance to the subdivision at each of the turn-offs from the Highway. Both are accessible though the western gate appears to receive more traffic and thus the road is in better condition. While both gates feature 'No Trespassing' signs, it's important to keep in mind that this main road is the legal access for all landowners in the subdivision. Thus, no one is allowed to obstruct passage along it. Additionally, anyone taking ownership of this property would, by definition, not be trespassing.

Roads & Access, Cont'd: The previous owner reports that no key was ever required to access the subdivision. Additionally, it appears that neither gate is locked or has any locking mechanism. Our photographer was able to easily access the land. Anyone curious about this access issue is encouraged to scout the property prior to purchase.

Power & Utilities: Residential power lines run throughout the Navajo City Acres community including at the lot line of the subject property. Because of this it should be easier and more affordable to get power connected to whatever you decide to build on the land. Anyone looking to investigate the cost of getting connected to the grid is encouraged to contact the Jemez Mountain Electric Co-op, the utility company servicing this region.

Wells & Water Table Depth: It should be noted that the subject property features - what appears to be - an abandoned well (see photos in the gallery at the bottom of this page). It has been fenced and covered with palettes, presumably to protect local pets and children. Hemingway Land has no other information about this abandoned well which, by our estimation, is no more than a half-dug hole in the ground. While this feature may add additional value to the land, we do not believe it does nor would we represent it as such. Anyone curious about this item is encouraged to scout the property prior to purchase.

Zoning & Restrictions

Zoning: Rio Arriba County has fairly undefined and lax zoning, and designates the Navajo City Acres subdivision, as well as most of the land in the County, as "Crad" or County Residential Agricultural District. This catch-all term allows for land to be developed with either residential or agricultural purposes. Other uses, such as industrial and commercial developments, require a use permit obtained through a public hearing.

Zoning, Cont'd: The subject property can be developed with conventional structures such as single-family residences, mobile and modular homes as well as unconventional structures difficult to get permitted elsewhere such as shipping containers and tiny homes.

No HOA: The Navajo City Acres subdivision features no HOA and there are no annual dues associated with land ownership here.

Covenants, Conditions & Restrictions: When the Navajo City Acres subdivision was first created, the developer drew up a set of covenants and restrictions to run with the land. Those restrictions, however, were set to expire or "sunset" after twenty-five years, a period of time which concluded in the early 90's. Because of this, anyone looking to develop the land need only concern themselves with County Zoning. Anyone curious to read the original covenants can do so by reviewing the PDF attached here.

Camping & RV Use: Per Rio Arriba County Zoning, RVs are acceptable in this region for ninety days at a time or six months with a special use permit.

Miscellaneous

The Navajo Marina: Located just twelve miles north of the subject property is the second largest body of water in the state, the Navajo Marina. Easily accessed via State Road 539, this area provides countless forms of water-based recreation, from fishing and boating to jet ski, kayak and party boat rentals. The area also includes floating restaurants and "Aqua Lodges" to vacation at. Boasting numerous camp sites perfect for RV use as well, this attraction is easily one of the best parts of owning land in this region.

Topography: The subject property is largely flat with a gentle slope from the front (south end) of the lot to the back (north end). The terrain consists mostly of shrubland and pinyon-juniper.

Private Neighboring Land: One of the nicest features of the subject property are the picturesque views of the surrounding mesas which one can take in from the wide-open space which borders the land to its north. This land is over 1,800 acres in size and is privately owned. While the owner of that property may one day choose to build, such development would be unlikely to interfere with or obstruct these views.

Hunting: It should be noted that the subject property is located in Game Management Unit 2A and 2B, an area known for its abundant deer and elk.
