Location & Size

The subject property is located in Talavera, a rural residential subdivision situated just east of State Road 112 and a few short miles south of Tierra Amarilla.

Flanked by stunning views of the Pedernal, this region is perfect for the nature lover or outdoorsman in the family as it sits in close proximity of three lakes, a national forest and one of the premiere skiing destinations in the state. In addition, some of the best fly fishing in New Mexico can be found along the banks of the Rio Chama, conveniently located just outside the entrance to the subdivision.

Access & Utilities

Roads & Access: The subject property sits within a half mile from State Road 112 and the entrance to the Talavera subdivision. The parcel has road access along both its western and eastern boundaries. The road along the west side of the land is Talavera Lane and the road along the east side of the land is Stoney Lane. Both roads are two-track dirt and gravel and are best navigated by a larger truck or off-road capable vehicle.

Power & Utilities: Residential power lines and underground utility boxes run throughout the Talavera community including at the lot line of the subject property. Because of this it should be easier and more affordable to get power connected to whatever you decide to build on the land. Anyone looking to investigate the cost of getting connected to the grid is encouraged to contact the Jemez Mountain Electric Co-op, the utility company servicing this region.

Power & Utilities, Cont'd: It should be noted that the subject property also has a high voltage power box and a pole with an outlet on it (see photos in the gallery at the bottom of this page). In the long history of Hemingway Land, we have never encountered either of these things on any of our previous vacant land listings. While we presume they would be a benefit to anyone developing the property, we have no knowledge of how functional they are or how best to use them. Additionally, the previous owner was little help as it had been over a decade since they'd visited the property. In short, these things exist on the land, but we make no guarantees about them.

Wells & Water Table Depth: Along the same lines there is also a water tap on the property (again, see photos in the gallery at the bottom of this page). This supposedly connects to a community well that services the home sites within the Talavera subdivision. Given the presence of this water tap along with fire hydrants found throughout the community, it would make sense that such a thing exists. That said, there is no documentation on file with the County that our Company was able to find. Additionally, there appears to be no association governing this community well or monitoring usage (which would normally be the case). The previous owner claims the tap worked once but broke at some point and started to leak. Presumably if it's at all functional or can be salvaged it would need to be repaired. Regrettably this is another aspect of the property for which our research was inconclusive.

Zoning & Restrictions

Zoning: Rio Arriba County has fairly undefined and lax zoning, and designates the Talavera subdivision, as well as most of the land in the County, as "Crad" or County Residential Agricultural District. This catch-all term allows for land to be developed with either residential or agricultural purposes. Other uses, such as industrial and commercial developments, require a use permit obtained through a public hearing.

No Hoa: The Talavera subdivision features no HOA and there are no annual dues associated with land ownership here.

Covenants, Conditions & Restrictions: When the subject property was first subdivided, the developer drew up a set of covenants and restrictions to run with the land. While most of these are what we like to refer to as "reasonable, good neighbor restrictions" dealing primarily with the disposal of trash and prohibitions on excess noise, there are a few covenants that deal with acceptable structures or use of the land. Because of this, anyone considering purchasing the property is encouraged to review the Talavera Covenants and Restrictions document found here.

Covenants, Conditions & Restrictions, Cont'd: In line with the superb record keeping we've discovered elsewhere in Rio Arriba County, the above set of CCRs refers only to the parcel with Legal Description, Unit 1, Lot 7. The subject property is Unit 1, Lot 9. According to the County there are no other CCRs on file for this subdivision, much less similar documentation for every other parcel in Talavera. Logic would suggest, however, that if something were ever written down and recorded for this specific property, it would likely mirror what's enumerated in the above linked document. A document, it's worth noting, no one seems to know exists. Nonetheless, in the interest of full disclosure...

Covenants, Conditions & Restrictions, Cont'd: Notable restrictions enumerated in the above-linked document include: The land may only be developed with detached single-family residences; Single-family residences may not exceed two and a half stories in height or be any smaller than 600 square feet; Trailers and mobile homes may not be used as permanent home sites.

Misc.

Entrance Gate: Included in the photo gallery at the bottom of this listing page is a picture of an intimidating looking gate that anyone attempting to enter the Talavera subdivision would encounter. It is located just off State Road 112 at Talavera Lane, and it features a number of security camera and padlocks. Our photographer, however, scouted the property on three separate occasions and never once found the gate locked. In speaking with the previous owners, we learned they had a key to the gate but haven't visited the property in over ten years. Nonetheless, at the time of this writing Hemingway Land is in the process of securing a copy of that key. Should we acquire it - it will be provided to the buyer of the property. Given the time since its last use, however, there is no guarantee it will work.

Topography: Consisting of rolling hills spotted with ponderosa pine and gambrel oaks, the subject property features a nice mix of forested regions providing privacy along with flat cut-outs ideal for parking, camping and building.

Tierra Amarilla Volunteer Fire Department: The Tierra Amarilla Volunteer Fire Department sits a short ten-minute drive from this property.

Rio Chama: Located just outside the entrance to the Talavera subdivision lies the Chama River, considered to be one of the best places in the state for fly fishing.

El Vado & Heron Lakes: In addition, both El Vado and Heron Lakes are located just three miles west of the subject property and will provide further opportunities for fishing, boating and general water-based relaxation.

Hunting: It should be noted that the subject property is located in Game Management Unit 51, an area famous for its trophy bull elk.
