About Mora River Refuge

Charming Mora Valley land with the river running through it! This one-of-a-kind, well-designed, red iron substantial steel building is nicely situated between a state-maintained road and the riverfront. Over 5,700 square feet of heated living space plus an attached 3-car garage! This house, finished on the outside, mostly finished and fitted out , but not complete inside, lays the groundwork for your custom choices for a beautiful, solid, open-style large home on the Mora River in the pristine Chacon Valley. This Mora River property’s 170± acres include the most beautiful views in Northeastern New Mexico among its forest, meadows, and over 1,000 ft of river frontage on both sides. Broadband, high-speed fiber optics (100Mb), and area cell phone coverage will allow you to easily work remotely from this beautiful mountain get-away. Fish for trout in the meandering Mora River. Hunt elk and mule deer on your own land. The forest, meadow, and river combine to create a great habitat for wildlife such as hawks, eagles, owls, bears, beavers, coyotes, mountain lions, and even lynx! Bring your horses, and they will love the place. If your two-mile-long, big backyard doesn’t satisfy all your wanderlust, there are over a million acres of public land in the nearby Carson National Forest. This refuge is pleasantly private yet conveniently located with good, paved access on NM Hwy 121. The property is 45 minutes from Las Vegas, one hour from Taos, and one hour and 45 minutes from Santa Fe, each with its own public airport. The forest received some burning in the recent wildfires, the majority of it categorized by USFS as low intensity. The building does not have a kitchen, so please take this into consideration.
