19862 US Highway 84 Hernandez, NM 87537

Tucked along the banks of the Rio Chama, this 38.85-acre property invites you to slow down and take in the beauty of Northern New Mexico. This private, heavily treed, riverfront property offers over 2,300 feet of Rio Chama frontage, ideal for trout fishing, kayaking, or simply enjoying the peaceful flow of water from your own land. An additional 1,400 feet of the Rio del Oso flows seasonally through the parcel, where the Army Corps of Engineers has recently reinforced the banks with berms and rock to protect the arroyo banks. The mostly flat landscape is a picturesque mix of open meadow, mature cottonwoods, aspen, cactus, and abundant wildlife—elk, deer, bear, and more. Across the river, rocky bluffs rise on land owned by the Bureau of Reclamation, creating a dramatic and private backdrop. Stunning sunsets and expansive views stretch in every direction, making this a truly special setting. Even with its sense of seclusion, the land is easily accessed directly from US Highway 84 and is just 8 miles north of Española and 20 miles south of Abiquiú lake and Ghost Ranch. Electricity and a private well are already in place, and a current survey is on file. Whether you dream of building a private riverfront escape, a quiet homestead, or simply owning a slice of Northern New Mexico’s most beautiful terrain, this rare offering invites you to create something undeniably special.
