Description
Tucked at the end of Comanche Trail in Carson, this 5-acre wooded parcel offers privacy, quiet, views, and a wonderfully unique off-grid retreat. Set among mature piñon and juniper, the property has the feeling of a true northern New Mexico hideaway while still offering a usable base for future plans. At the heart of the property is an approximately 250 sq ft scoria-filled earthbag structure that is both practical and full of character. Warm plaster walls, flagstone floors, a wood stove, natural light, and a sleeping loft create a compact but comfortable space with a surprising sense of charm. A small solar setup provides power for LED lighting, making the structure immediately useful as a weekend retreat, creative escape, or basecamp while developing the property further. One of the standout features is the attached second-story deck, which opens to spectacular views of the Taos Range. It is an ideal place for morning coffee, evening sunsets, stargazing, or simply taking in the quiet of the surrounding high desert forest. Outside, a flagstone patio extends the living space into the landscape and adds to the property’s handmade, grounded feel. For a buyer looking to build a larger primary home, this property offers a valuable head start: land, privacy, an existing off-grid shelter, solar lighting, outdoor living areas, and a peaceful place to stay while planning the next phase. Whether used as a simple retreat, project base, future homesite, or long-term Carson getaway, this property offers space, solitude, views, and character in a setting that feels far removed from the ordinary. Buyer should verify square footage, structure status/permitting, access, utilities, water/septic feasibility, solar system capacity, zoning, and all matters material to Buyer’s intended use.
