The River's Edge

Land Description

Rare San Juan River frontage with utilities in place. This 2-acre parcel offers direct river access, private road seclusion, and an existing well, septic, and power - a ready-to-build homesite in one of the Southwest's most desirable recreational regions. Whether for a primary residence, vacation retreat, or investment, this riverfront opportunity is hard to match.

Land

This property spans just under two deeded acres along the banks of the San Juan River, a stretch widely regarded as one of the best trout fisheries in the country. The parcel combines level ground for easy building with mature riverbank vegetation that provides shade, privacy, and wildlife habitat. With direct river access, owners can step outside and immediately enjoy fishing, rafting, or simply relaxing along the water's edge.

Improvements

The parcel is already equipped for residential use. A private well, septic system, and electric service are in place, allowing for an expedited building process. The site was previously occupied, so essential infrastructure is already established - a significant advantage compared to undeveloped parcels.

Recreation

The San Juan River is world-famous for its trout fishing, particularly the quality tailwater below Navajo Dam that draws anglers from across the country. In addition to fishing right from the property, the region offers boating, rafting, hiking, and access to vast public lands within a short drive. The Four Corners area also provides rich cultural, historical, and outdoor opportunities, from Mesa Verde National Park to the high peaks of the San Juan Mountains.

Water/Mineral Rights & Natural Resources

The property includes a private domestic well that conveys with the sale. River frontage offers a direct connection to one of the Southwest's most important water resources. Any mineral rights owned by the seller will transfer.

Region & Climate

Located in northwest New Mexico, the San Juan River valley enjoys four distinct seasons. Summers are warm and sunny, ideal for time on the river, while winters are generally mild at this elevation, with snowfall more common in the nearby mountains. Average annual precipitation is roughly 12 inches, with 280+ days of sunshine per year.

Location

Situated off a private road, the property offers both seclusion and convenience. Bloomfield is less than 20 minutes away for groceries and services, with Farmington just 30 minutes for regional amenities, shopping, and hospitals. Durango, Colorado is approximately 1.5 hours north, providing commercial air service, skiing, and additional recreation. Albuquerque International Sunport is just under 3 hours to the southeast.
