TRES PIEDRAS (46A)

If space, views, and an off-grid setting are what you’re after, this 19.94-acre parcel in Cielito Lindo is worth a look. The land sits high and open, with long, unobstructed views across the mesa toward the Sangre de Cristo Mountains—the kind of views that stay intact because of the minimum lot size of 20 acres in the subdivision. Cielito Lindo is an intentional off-grid community. The covenants are there to keep it that way: protecting dark skies, limiting overbuilding, and maintaining the green values that brought people here in the first place. No utility sprawl, no tight density. Roads are privately maintained and accessible year-round. The terrain is usable and straightforward, with multiple options for placing a home, solar, and water catchment. Whether your plan is a full-time off-grid build, a seasonal place, or simply holding land long-term, the acreage gives you flexibility without feeling remote. You’re about 35 minutes from Taos—close enough for groceries, services, and town life when you need it, and quiet once you’re back on the property. The night skies are dark, the horizon stays open, and the pace out here is slow and consistent. The entire southern boundary borders BLM, which helps protect privacy and long-term views. Wildlife is common in the area—elk, pronghorn, coyotes, hawks, quail, and seasonal Sandhill crane migrations. Views extend in multiple directions, including toward Wheeler Peak, and the setting is genuinely quiet. This is telescope-level dark sky. The HOA is simple and reasonably priced at around $375 per year, covering road maintenance and helping preserve the character of the subdivision. There’s also an optional community well fee of roughly $125 per year. Internet is available through TaosNet, with speeds suitable for most remote needs. There is a local who hauls water to owners from the community well for a nominal fee to your residence. The community well received an upgrade to their solar system in 2023; this included new panels and batteries. The community well cannot be directly connected to any home and water must be delivered to any home by a water hauler. The allotted amount per well share is 2,000 gallons per month. Bottom line: this is a solid piece of northern New Mexico land—good views, sensible restrictions, and a community that’s actually committed to staying off-grid. If that’s what you’re looking for, this property fits.
