55 Southern Crescent Road

Lot 17 in the Southern Crescent neighborhood of the Galisteo Basin Preserve offers a rare opportunity to build in a protected high-desert setting with direct access to open space and expansive mountain and basin views. Southern Crescent is one of a limited number of neighborhoods within the 9,500-acre Preserve, the majority of which is permanently conserved, offering long-term privacy, dark night skies, and an exceptional natural environment. The lot features a clearly designated building envelope with excellent solar exposure, making it well-suited for an efficient, thoughtfully designed home. Underground electric and telephone are in place, and water is supplied by a shared well system, significantly reducing upfront infrastructure hurdles for a new build. Lot 17 borders protected open space and provides immediate access to miles of hiking and exploration within the Preserve. Mature trees, native grasses, and sweeping views of multiple mountain ranges define the setting, while reasonable design guidelines help ensure long-term value and aesthetic continuity throughout the neighborhood. Despite the sense of seclusion, the property remains conveniently located approximately 10 minutes from Lamy and Eldorado amenities, including dining, a tap room, and the Amtrak station, with the historic City of Santa Fe only about 20 minutes away. A comprehensive soils report has been completed for the lot and is available to qualified buyers upon request. This is a build-ready homesite offering a rare balance of privacy, protected land, and proximity to Santa Fe.
