New Mexico Gila Wilderness Area Farm For Sale

This 10 acre farm in rural southwest New Mexico boasts many appealing features. Located near Glenwood, at the base of the Gila Wilderness Area, the farm has a modern light-filled 2100 square foot home as well as an 800 square foot adobe cottage and a 20 x 60 foot shop with 220 service.

Spectacular views of the Gila, easy access by foot or horse to this pristine wilderness area. By using a motor vehicle, the Wilderness Area can be approached by other access points close by. Great fishing! Lovely climate, about ten degrees cooler than Tucson. The former owner envisioned the farm as a Warmblood horse breeding operation and many facilities (paddocks, stalls, shades, hay storage) are completed or well begun. The farm has water rights, three wells and, in some years, the San Francisco River runs through it. Silver City (Albertsons, Walmart, University) is less than an hour away. Tucson is two hundred miles away.
