Riverside  A 10.65 acre homestead site on the Pecos River with senior water rights (priority 1857) and level, irrigated, de-facto organic fields; perfect horse property; paved road access and all utilities (electric, community water, phone, high-speed DSL) at hand.  There's a breathtaking view from the ideal build site overlooking the Pecos. Not a structure in sight, total privacy.  There's a fabulous swimming hole and sunbathing rocks at the base of the cliff. This land is long and narrow, offering a series of stepped fields.  There's some alfalfa in one section, but it's time to re-plant. Wild asparagus grows all along the sides of the fields. There are a few aging fruit trees, the remnants of a good orchard.  The main acequia opens into a feeder acequia that runs down the north edge of the land, providing water to whichever field one wishes. At the top of the land, just under the acequia, is a good leveled site for a barn or utility building. There are deer, coyote, raccoons, and countless birds. At the bottom of the irrigated land is the ideal home site, overlooking the cliff and river. The property line runs to the middle of the river.  The river comes in from the north, joins the property line and runs down the side of the property... Looking the other way... There's about an acre of bottom land planted with juniper and sagebrush, with little meadows of soft grass.  Great sites for camping. The swimming hole and sunbathing rocks... There's good rock and sand for building, and mud for play and craft.   The river then hooks around the bottom of the property, past a cliff on the other side... And this is your sunset view. satellite image of the valle  |  Area map
