About La Huerta

---

There is a sense of privacy here unmatched in Santa Fe County and this close to downtown Santa Fe . Take a 45 minutes hike beside the stream, through the orchard, and never leave your own property.The natural vegetation of cottonwood trees, pinion and juniper provide protection for birds, deer and native wildlife. The arroyos enhance the property and create a world apart with the natural protection of pinon laden hills surrounding an irrigated meadow of fruit trees orchard and a magical oasis in the high desert country of New Mexico.

Sandy soils create luxurious wooded river banks habitat, making a perfect combination for the diversity of wildlife found in the New Mexcian High
Sierra . The slopes are steep and covered with pinon/cedar, though the “tops” offer build-able sites with pleasing views of the Sangre De Cristos mountainside. There are enchanting secret paths between the arroyos and hilltops accessible by foot, bike or horse. 

The property encompasses both sides of the Tesuque River for about one-third mile. There is an irrigation well (95 GPM) with adjudicated water rights of 16.583 Acre Feet. There are also  two domestic wells (10 GPM) with 3 Acre feet of water rights per well (6 Acre Feet Total).
