Property Description‍

The subject property is a 20 acre lot located in Indian Knolls Ranch, a rural residential subdivision found halfway between Ramah and Quemado and situated within short driving distance of the Cibola National Forest.

‍

‍‍‍Legal Information‍

Legal Description: Indian Knolls Ranch, Lot 48

Parcel Number: 2093027280267

Account Number: R21442

Annual Taxes: $107.00

‍

‍Access & Utilities‍

Roads & Access: The subject property is located just south of Highway 36 at the entrance to the subdivision along Elk Run Trail. It boasts 973 feet of dirt/gravel road frontage along its northern boundary, all of which is well-maintained and can be navigated by any vehicle type. While it's reasonable to assume that living in this region would require a larger truck or off-road capable vehicle in winter months, one of the nice things about this property is that given its proximity to the main Highway, even in inclement weather you will not have far to drive before coming to state-maintained roads.

Power & Utilities: Like much of the Indian Knolls Ranch subdivision, the subject property boasts power and underground telecom lines along its northern border. This should make building on the land and getting power to the eventual home site both easier and more affordable. Anyone looking to investigate the costs associated with connecting to the grid is encouraged to contact Continental Divide Electric Cooperative, the utility company servicing this region.

Wells & Water Service: As with most of the rural land we list, city water service does not exist in this region and anyone electing to develop the land will need to either utilize holding tanks or install a well. Applications for well drilling permits and water rights are handled by the Office of the State Engineer. Anyone curious to learn more about this process is encouraged to visit their website here. Anyone looking to investigate the water table depth common to this region is encouraged to contact well drillers local to the area.

‍

‍Zoning & Restrictions

Zoning: Cibola County is one of the few New Mexico counties that has no formal county-wide zoning ordinance and defers instead to towns, municipalities and owners' associations within its borders to make and enforce their own rules. Because of this, the only "local" regulations specific to this region would come either from an Association or from the covenants and restrictions on file for the subdivision.

No HOA: The Indian Knolls Ranch subdivision is not part of an 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 Indian Knolls Ranch Covenants and Restrictions document found here.

Covenants, Conditions & Restrictions, Cont’d: Notable restrictions enumerated in the above-linked document include: No Mobile Homes may be used as permanent dwellings; RVs may be used for up to ten months as temporary dwellings during the construction of the permanent home site; Residential structures must be a minimum of 500 square feet in size; Construction of the permanent dwelling must be completed within 1 Year from the time of ground-breaking; This 20 acre parcel may not be subdivided.

Covenants, Conditions & Restrictions, Cont'd: It should be noted that the above-linked document makes mention of an Owners Association. When the subdivision was first created in 2004 there may have been an intention to create one, and one may have even been in existence for a few years. As of the writing of this property description, however, none currently exists or has existed for some time.

Tiny Home Friendly: As noted, residential structures built in Indian Knolls Ranch can be as small as 500 square feet in size. This makes this subdivision ideal for anyone looking to build a tiny home or seasonal hunting cabin.

‍Misc.

Fencing: It should be noted that the subject property features fencing along its southern and western boundaries, a fact which may help to save money on the cost of staking and a survey. While anyone planning to house livestock here will still need to fence off the remainder of the property, the presence of this pre-existing fence can be a nice benefit as well as a cost-saver.

‍

‍Nearby Towns‍

While the nearby town of Fence Lake boasts some convenience and supply stores, the towns of Quemado (thirty minutes south of the land) and Ramah (thirty minutes north of the land), may be the best bet for groceries and supplies. In addition, the county seat of Grants is located a little under an hour away along Highway 117. There you’ll be able to find big box stores such as Walmart, most all fast food chains, schools, churches and hospitals as well as the Grants-Milan Municipal Airport.

‍Nearby Attractions‍

The subject property sits in close proximity to the 300,000 acres that make up the Cibola National Forest.

Additionally, the Cibola National Forest also features plenty of great hiking trails and camping spots to explore.

In addition to the Cibola National Forest, there are a number of scenic National and State Parks within easy driving distance of the subject property.
