2 acres on a quiet dirt road in San Jose, NM a tiny Pecos River valley village tucked between Santa Fe, Las Vegas NM, and Villanueva State Park.

Looking for a place to park a tiny home, build a weekend cabin, or just plant a flag in one of the prettiest corners of northern New Mexico? This is it.

Two flat acres (2.02 to be exact surveyed and on file) sit in the historic Pecos River village of San Jose, about 20 minutes from Las Vegas, NM and 45 minutes from downtown Santa Fe. The land is squared off in a clean rectangle, roughly 213 feet of road frontage by just over 410 feet deep, fronting a well-maintained dirt county road. Another dirt road runs along the north edge, making this a corner parcel with easy access from two sides.

Terrain is about as forgiving as raw land gets in the Southwest flat from fence to fence, with scattered junipers for character but nothing you'd call "clearing work." A photographer who walked it recently called the ground "buildable anywhere," and the drone shots back that up. The soil is the classic red New Mexico dirt, firm in dry weather and a little greasy after a rain, which is normal for the region.

The big view from the property is the long mesa rim that runs south of the village it lights up pink at sunrise and dusk. On the north and west, you look toward the pion-juniper hills that climb toward the Pecos Wilderness.

What's already here:

A well on the property (buyer's responsibility to inspect)
A dilapidated storage structure not livable, but sturdy enough for keeping tools and materials out of the weather during your build
Power lines run along the road with a service box directly across the street, making a utility connection straightforward
Excellent cell signal on site (confirmed in person)
Fenced perimeter on the visible boundaries
