WELCOME TO OUR AUCTION!!!
Your are Bidding on the "Down Payment" for FOUR (4) Beautiful 1/4 Acre Lots Near TAOS, NEW MEXICO. They are Lots 51, 52, 53, 54 in Block 28 of "The RANCHO de TAOS ESTATES" Subdivision. They are 4 Side by Side Lots in a Row With Their Road Frontage On Their East Side, Which is 4th Street!!! They Total 43,680 Square Feet, Which is Slightly Over 1 Full Acre. Each Lot is 60 Feet Wide by 182 Feet Deep, and Together They Have a Whopping 240 Feet of Road Frontage.
This Subdivision sits on the South Slope of Cerro de los Taoses (which translates to "Hill of the Taos" or "Taos Hill"). These Lots are south of the Peak of Cerro de los Taoses, which is at 8009 Feet. The Subdivision is Lightly Sloping to the South, and the Views are ABSOLUTELY BREATHTAKING!!! From This Property You Will Have Magnificent 360 Degree Unobstructed Views of Many of the TAOS MOUNTAINS.
This is one of the Closest Rural Subdivisions in the Taos Area and is Only Minutes to Town. The "ESTATES" are made up of Several Units and This Unit is Right on The Main Road Leading Into These Units.
DRIVING DIRECTIONS: To Get To This Property, You Will Leave Taos on Route 64 to the West. In About 8 or 9 Miles You Will Cross the Rio Grande River Gorge Bridge. After the Bridge You Will Turn Left and Drive Straight West for 3.1 Miles to the Southeast Corner of This Unit. These lots are in the Southwestern Quarter of This Unit and are just North of This Main Entrance Road.
This Group of Subdivisions are Almost Completely Surrounded by BLM LAND (Bureau of Land Management Land), STATE LAND, and THE CARSON NATIONAL FOREST. This will help preserve the area and protect it from overbuilding. It also Protects the Wildlife which is why you will see Elk, Pronghorn Antelope, Black Bear, and Deer grazing in this area. This entire area is covered in Mountain Sagebrush and Native Grasses with some Juniper and Pine.
The RIO GRANDE RIVER GORGE is very near the turn off to these properties. Over time the Rio Grande River in this area has cut an Incredibly Deep Canyon. The GORGE RIVER BRIDGE Crossing the River is the 2nd Highest Suspension Bridge in the USA. We walked out on this bridge to look at the river far below and we watched the White Water Rafters make their way down the Canyon. This bridge is about 800 feet above the water level as you will see in the picture below.
This area is classified as High Desert Mesa and These Lots are at an altitude of 7200 feet. There are 4 distinct seasons with an average annual rainfall of 12" and average annual snowfall of 35". The sun shines 70% of the possible hours of sunlight. For the WEATHER the average High Temperature in July is 87 with a Low of 50. The average High Temperature in January is 40 with a Low of 10 degrees. There is basically NO POLLUTION, the Sky is Clear, the Air is Fresh, and the Water is Clean.
TAOS is in the Heart of the Southern Rockies of Northern New Mexico and is Quickly Becoming the Ski Capitol of the Southwest. The Largest Mountains in the state are in this area with WHEELER PEAK Towering at 13,161 Feet. The many Ski Slopes Surrounding Taos receive up to 312 Inches of Powdery Snow Per Year. The VILLAGE OF TAOS SKI VALLEY is a World Class Ski and Entertainment Resort and is only 19 Miles from the Town of Taos. Here they have an amazing 12 Lifts for 110 Trails. They can lift more than 15,000 skiers per hour with one lift reaching the 11,819-foot level. ANGEL FIRE RESORT is only 24 Miles from Taos and has 67 Trails. They were Host to The 2004 USASA NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS which is the World’s Largest Snowboarding Event. The RED RIVER SKI AND SNOWBOARD AREA is only 36 miles from Taos and has 57 Trails. Sipapu Ski and Summer Resort is 22 Miles from Taos and has 31 Trails. These resorts all offer year round activities, and there are several other Ski Resorts in this area as well.
The Town of TAOS is almost surrounded by the CARSON NATIONAL FOREST, which covers much of TAOS COUNTY. The town of TAOS is nestled up at the base of the SANGRE DE CRISTO MOUNTAINS and sits on the RIO PUEBLO DE TAOS River just before it empties into The RIO GRANDE RIVER. This Offers Almost Every Outdoor Activity Possible Including Hiking, Mountain Biking, Rock Climbing, Horseback Riding, Fishing, Hunting, White Water Rafting, Canoeing, Kayaking, Swimming, Picnicking, and Just Enjoying!!! There are several 18-Hole, PGA-Rated Championship Golf Courses in the area as well as several 9-Hole Courses to enjoy. You can Go Llama Trekking, or Ride the Rails on the Cumbres Toltec Scenic Railroad or Take to the Air in a Hot Air Balloon Ride Over the Rio Grande River Gorge. And afterwards you can Relax at the OJO CALIENTE MINERAL SPRINGS.
TAOS PUEBLO is supposed to be the Oldest Continuously Inhabited Village in the entire USA. The TAOS PUEBLO INDIANS have lived in this same community for 1000 years. You can walk among them in their Abode Style Village and visit their shops. This Adobe style of construction is very prominent in the area. TAOS was home to KIT CARSON in the mid 1800's who helped settle the area. Early in the 1900's the town became a Mecca for Artists of all types and is still one of the main Artistic Centers of the west.
Today TAOS is a proud blend of Native Indian, Spanish, and Anglo Cultures. It is a Shoppers Paradise with Art Galleries, Western Wear Shops, Antique Stores, Gift Shops, Jewelry Stores, and more than 50 Restaurants, and Cafes. It is home to the TAOS MOUNTAIN CASINO, which is located near the Taos Pueblo Village. There are many things to see and do in town as there are several Museums, Historic Landmarks, Theatres, Film Festivals, and Cultural Events to visit and enjoy.
In 1969 the Movie "Easy Rider" was filmed in the Taos area. Dennis Hopper liked the area so much he moved to TAOS the following year. Since then about a dozen Hollywood Movie Stars and Celebrities have made the Taos area their home or hide-away including Julia Roberts, Susan Sarandon, Goldie Hawn, and Lauren Hutton to name a few.
TAOS is a rapidly growing area. The 1995 population was 6,213 for the Town of Taos, and 25,581 for Taos County. By the year 2000 the Taos County Population had jumped over 17% to 29,979. This area is growing at twice the state's average. The main route into Taos is Route 68 from Santa Fe, and it recently underwent Major Renovations into a Modern 4 Lane in most sections. This should allow easier access in and out of the area. The Main Road from Taos past the Airport toward these properties is Route 64. The Business Growth along this road has been amazing. I've Been Told They are Building an Average of 1 New Building Per Week!!!
TAOS seems to have all of the right ingredients for continued and accelerated growth. There has already been a tremendous increase in the price of real estate in the town of Taos. A county official told us an acre of bare ground in the Town of Taos is currently bringing an average of $132,000. We were told the usable rural land close to town is already worth several times its value of just a few years ago. There has been a real escalation in land prices in and around Taos. The mountains surrounding the town of Taos is limiting the expansion in those directions. On a map you will see all of the "Off Limits" National Forests and Indian Reservation Land that surrounds Taos. As a result Taos does not have many directions it can grow into. The RIO GRANDE RIVER GORGE also cuts off much available land for growth as the only way to cross this canyon is across the one and only modern bridge which is on Route 64. This is the bridge at the entrance to these subdivisions giving them a great location for this expansion!!! The "RANCHO de TAOS ESTATES" are situated in one of the few buildable directions any major expansion can go.
Here is a MapQuest Topo Map showing the subdivision. These lots are at the Exact Center of this map. The Main Road through this unit is the east to west road that runs the entire way across this map. You can drive this map around with the arrows and also zoom in and out to determine the distance to Taos, etc.
The "RANCHO de TAOS ESTATES" Subdivision is an Under Developed Subdivision that was laid out several years ago. There is power in the general area, but not to this unit nor on each property yet. The Present Power Lines are Along The Road Into This Unit, but are Still About 1 Mile Away From This Unit. The water is deep in this area, so for now using refillable tanks or catchment would be the best methods, which is very common here.
They Recently Drilled a Water Well Just South of This Unit. This Water is Only For The Residents of the These Subdivisions. Water would still be hauled at this time, but this is a great 1st step towards a possible unit wide water system.
Sewage would be by a septic system (when you build). The county does still allow outhouses for now. Our Verizon Cell phones worked everywhere when we were there. This Subdivision is Zoned Agricultural / Residential / Recreational. There are very few restrictions on the property, No association fees or dues, No time limits to build, and No requirement to make you build. Taxes are less than $20 per year per lot. And there are No liens, taxes, and encumbrances due on the property. We will transfer ownership with a "Special Warranty Deed" which will Guarantee Free and Clear Ownership.
This subdivision is much like most other subdivisions in the early stages of development. You will see much vacant ground, scattered mobiles and campers, and a few built homes. These early arrivals mostly have rougher places at this early stage of development since many of them are camping. Once there are more permanent homes getting built, the rougher places tend to clean up and disappear fairly quickly. This subdivision appears to be at about that transition point.
