A truly rare Northern New Mexico offering: a 2005-built strawbale home combining owned power, owned water, irrigation rights, and acreage - the full self-sufficiency package that's increasingly hard to find in this region. The 1,700 sq ft home offers 3 bedrooms and 2 baths (one newly added in 2021, one remodeled in 2024). Recent upgrades include a new gas oven/stove and a new tankless demand water heater (replacing the prior tank unit), plus an attached carport added in 2019 and a new 20 x 30 steel RV shed in 2025. The entire 10-acre property is fenced, with a coyote fence around the front garden. Power & Water - Owned and Upgraded: This property is equipped with a fixed 2KW solar array, a 750 Amp-Hr dual battery bank, inverter and charge controller (all new upgrades from 2019 to 2022), backed up by an auxiliary power unit. For buyers wanting the option to tie into the grid, a power transformer sits approximately 1,700 feet from the property line. Water infrastructure includes a fully permitted well with 3 acre-feet of annual draw, a new well pump, and coveted Acequia irrigation water rights - a combination rarely available together in this market. Setting & Views: Mature shade trees frame the home against the wide high-desert sky, with unobstructed mountain views in multiple directions. The land is open and productive - well-suited for livestock, gardening, or simply enjoying the solitude that defines life in the Northern New Mexico high country. Additional Structures: 256 sq ft detached shop - flexible use as office, studio, or potential Casita conversion New metal motorhome/RV shed with covered parking and storage Small barn (approximately 250 sq-ft), ready for horses or other livestock Access & Location: Year-round access via county-maintained road. Minutes from the Rio Grande del Norte National Monument and Wild Rivers Recreation Area. This is a property for the buyer who wants true self-sufficiency without compromise - a home built from the land itself. Seller requests cash or portfolio financing inquiries.
