Desert Vibes 🌵✨ Hills, Desert Foliage & Views That Literally Never End — All on Your Own 5 acres in Abiquiu, NM!

Abiquiu, Rio Arriba County, NM

Slow down and feel the peace on this 5-acre property on Fort Defina Rd, Abiquiu, NM 87510!

Camp, garden, or build a home in one of the most scenic corners of northern New Mexico. The dirt roads are easy to drive with an SUV so getting here is simple.

Is this a good place to build a home?
Yes. Zoned residential with big space for a cabin, mobile home (with permit), or future house. The terrain is mostly hilltop with loamy soils, giving you sweeping views of the mesas and mountains. There are nice plants and juniper pines on the property that adds character to the landscape.

What are the surroundings like?
The area feels rural but friendly. Neighbors nearby keep their places clean and artistic, and the town of Abiquiu itself has a warm, small-town vibe.

Is power and road access available?
There are no power lines here, so solar or a generator will be your best option. Roads are dirt and a little bumpy, but year-round accessible—no 4×4 required. Water would come from a well or delivery, and cell service can be spotty, though some areas get a solid 4G signal.

Why YOU should consider this lot?
If you want space to breathe, views that stretch for miles, and a community that feels creative and welcoming, this is a great fit. It’s perfect as a weekend base, a homestead with livestock, or a quiet desert getaway.
