18 Arroyo Road

Wild Horse Mesa is truly a hidden gem in Southern Colorado. Beautiful views, quiet and private. This parcel is located off a short, dead-end road. The roads in the neighborhood are well-maintained. This lot is a short drive to Sanchez Reservoir and the Wild Horse Mesa Community Center. Most residents rely on water delivered to a cistern; provided by the community well. This is the place for serene privacy. Wild horses run free on the Mesa, commonly seen in this area. Also, mule deer, elk, pronghorn antelope, coyotes, birds, eagles, black bears, mountain lions, and bighorn sheep are found on the Mesa. The Wild Horse Mesa/Melby Ranch community lies at 8,000+ feet elevation and about 25 minutes from the historic and picturesque San Luis. About 1 hour and 15 minutes to Taos for shopping, dining, and cultural events. The Mesa spans about 20 square miles of spectacular vistas, both level and hilly with varied eco-regions including sagebrush and rabbitbrush, pinon, juniper, grasses, and wildflowers. The stargazing is world-class, and the views of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains are breathtaking. Cell phone service is spotty in the area, internet is satellite. This is a fantastic piece of Southern Colorado! Approximate center GPS coordinates: 37.08850, -105.44417
