The place
La Tierra and the Tano Road area occupy the hills north-west of the city between Highway 599 and Tesuque. Lots run from two and a half acres up, homes sit well apart, and the views take in three mountain ranges. It is where many buyers land when they want land and quiet without a gated community.
What to love
- Lots of two and a half to twenty acres
- Views of the Sangre de Cristo, Jemez, and Sandia ranges
- Ten to fifteen minutes to the Plaza
- Horses, trails, and dark skies
