258 County Road A1

Set across 97.28 acres of classic Northern New Mexico landscape, this remarkable Sapello property—listed under 258 County Road A1 and 6 Calle de San Antonio—offers unmatched privacy, deep history, and the rare gift of long-established water rights. The land is bordered by the gentle flow of Manuelitas Creek, creating a peaceful backdrop for the charming 1,200 sq ft home that sits tucked among open meadows, pines, and mountain views. According to the MLS data, the home includes 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, a loft-style upper room, a wraparound porch, and a basement storage area, with heat provided by a traditional wood-burning stove—a true Northern New Mexico classic. The home’s mid-century origins are supported by historical documents noting construction in the early 1950s, with the well drilled in 1973 and a modern, state-approved septic system installed in 2014. Adding to the charm and legacy of the land, the property also includes an older, uninhabitable building—a remnant of the property’s past and a window into the longstanding agricultural and familial history of the Manuelitas valley. While not suitable for occupancy, it remains an authentic piece of Northern New Mexico heritage and contributes to the property’s character and sense of place. The acreage itself is extraordinary—over 97 surveyed acres of varied terrain, mature timber, pasture, and creekside stretches—offering endless recreational, ranching, or retreat possibilities. Historical records included in the documentation confirm multi-generation acequia-recognized water rights, with dues and usage tracked by the Acequia de En Medio de Manuelitas Commissioners across decades from the 1970s through the early 2000s. This rare continuity highlights both the value and authenticity of the water rights tied to the land. A private well, compliant septic system, and dual access points via County Road A1 and Calle de San Antonio complete the property’s practical strengths while preserving its profound sense of seclusion. Whether envisioned as a private ranch, a generational estate, a hunting or recreational haven, or a tranquil escape surrounded by mountains and flowing water, this Sapello property embodies the best of Northern New Mexico—heritage, land, water, and landscape coming together in a unique and irreplaceable offering.
