Recreational Land for Sale in Vanderwagen, New Mexico

Located approximately 20 minutes south of Gallup, this 40-acre parcel offers secluded mountain land in the Pinehaven area. The seller is also offering the adjacent 27.09-acre parcel in a separate listing, providing an opportunity to purchase more than 67 contiguous acres. The property is fully fenced and accessed by a private road that is regularly used by only one neighboring property. The land offers a quiet and private setting suitable for a variety of uses. Approximately five acres of the property are relatively flat at about 7,380 feet in elevation, while the remainder of the land slopes from roughly 7,400 feet down to approximately 7,240 feet. The elevation change creates great views of the surrounding landscape, and several natural canyons run through the property. Roughly two-thirds of the acreage is forested with mature Pinon, Ponderosa Pine, Alligator Juniper, Cedar, and Scrub Oak, along with a mix of open areas. The seller states that petrified wood has been found throughout portions of the property. Wildlife commonly seen in the area includes elk, deer, fox, coyotes, bobcats, and squirrels. The property also includes a custom-built sledding hill along with an existing zipline and ropes course. A 210 foot well with 8 inch casing is located on the property and will need repairs to determine its production. An approximately 2,100-watt solar system installed to operate the well will transfer with the property. If you are looking for private mountain land with forest, wildlife, great views, and space to create your own retreat, this property offers a unique opportunity in the Pinehaven community.
