Surrounded by old-growth trees, abundant wildlife, stunning views, and peaceful serenity, this unique property is ideal as a private getaway, artist's retreat, or off-grid sanctuary. Improvements include a well-insulated metal building constructed on a durable 8-ft. by 10-ft. steel I-beam frame, plus a separate studio or workshop.

An additional metal insulated solar building is included which would work well as a studio with a loft and elevator. This remarkable property is also part of one of the most significant Civil War landscapes in the American Southwest. In March 1862, Union and Confederate forces fought throughout this area during the Battle of Glorieta Pass. Near Johnson's Ranch at Cañoncito, Union troops destroyed the Confederate supply train—burning more than 80 wagons and eliminating vital food, ammunition, and livestock. Although the Confederates won the tactical battle, the loss of their supplies forced their retreat, ending their campaign to capture New Mexico and opening the way to Colorado and California. This pivotal victory earned Glorieta Pass the enduring nickname, "The Gettysburg of the West." A rare opportunity to own a beautiful, historic, and truly unforgettable piece of New Mexico.
