Recreational Land with Home for Sale in Tijeras, New Mexico
434 Juan Tomas Rd, Tijeras, NM 87059
You can smell the pine and cedar in the crisp mountain air! Rare opportunity to buy this hidden in the East Mountains is a remarkable New Mexico retreat where history, nature and extraordinary privacy come together. Priced well below appraised value, this expansive mountain views, open meadows, towering pines, a natural spring and abundant wildlife create a setting that feels worlds away, yet Albuquerque is approximately 15 miles west. The extensively renovated residence features a rebuilt kitchen, updated baths, refreshed living spaces, expansive outdoor areas and a new well system supported by battery solar. Longtime home of renowned UNM biologist Dr. William 'Bill' Degenhardt, the property was also a gathering place for an extraordinary circle of New Mexicans, including celebrated author Tony Hillerman. This is more than a home--it is a piece of New Mexico's story waiting for its next chapter. Property Tour: 9/8/2026 at 12 PM. Offers Due: 9/10/2026.
