An unusual listing is seeing nearly 500 acres of land in central New Mexico up for sale for just a few pennies south of $500,000.
The massive stretch of land borders the Santa Fe National Forest, some 95 miles or so to the northeast of Albuquerque and 35 miles to the southwest of Las Vegas, New Mexico.
The closest sign of civilization is the unincorporated town of Villanueva, with a general store, church, and post office, and population of around 200 people.
As mentioned in an advertisement for the listing, the land includes an abundance of trees, open clearings, and a seasonal creek feeding into the Pecos River, which flows north to south.
The property is accessed via San Miguel County Road B29A.
The price of the land for so much acreage has prompted some comment: “500 acres of beautiful New Mexican land for less than the cost of 1 bedroom apartment in Manhattan,” exclaimed the site Unofficial Networks. “Incredible.”
The property is being listed by the Sedona, Arizona-based Landio company.
