Discover the beauty, space, and freedom of Chama West Subdivision, located just minutes west of the Village of Chama in the spectacular mountains of Northern New Mexico. These approximately 10-acre parcels offer an exceptional opportunity to build a full-time residence, mountain retreat, or recreational getaway surrounded by wide-open skies, rolling terrain, native vegetation, and beautiful views of the Chama Valley and surrounding mountains. Chama West offers the privacy of rural living while still providing convenient access to Chama for shopping, dining, schools, medical services, and everyday necessities. The subdivision features private gravel roads, community water availability, and electricity available in the area, making these parcels more accessible for future development than many rural properties in Northern New Mexico. Individual septic systems are generally required. The recorded covenants allow for a residence of at least 1,000 square feet, along with a garage, auxiliary building such as a barn, studio or workshop, and a storage shed. Modular homes on permanent foundations are permitted, subject to applicable building requirements. Horses and livestock may also be kept for private use, making Chama West an attractive option for buyers seeking additional space and flexibility. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the area's proximity to fishing, hiking, hunting areas, boating, horseback riding, skiing, snowmobiling, and the recreational opportunities found throughout the Chama Valley and nearby Southern Colorado. With approximately 10 acres of land, expansive views, mountain air, and the peaceful lifestyle Northern New Mexico is known for, Chama West offers an increasingly rare opportunity to own substantial acreage without being far from town. Bring your vision and create your own Northern New Mexico retreat. Contact us today for available parcels, pricing, maps, covenants, and additional property information.
