The Carson Estates Subdivision is an under-developed subdivision that was laid out several years ago. There is power in the general area, but not on each property yet. Water would be by well, storage, or catchment. We are told outhouses are presently allowed if you are using a camper or cabin . Our Verizon Cell phones worked everywhere when we were there. This Subdivision is Zoned Agricultural / Residential / Recreational. There are No association fees or dues, No time limits to build, and No requirement to make you build. Taxes are less than $20 per year. And there are no liens, taxes, and encumbrances due on the property. We will transfer ownership with a Special Warranty Deed which will guarantee free and clear ownership.

This property is in the western portion of Unit #1 which is one of the closest rural subdivisions in the Taos area and is only minutes to town. Almost all of the area south and west of the Carson Estates is National Forest land. This will help preserve the area and protect it from overbuilding along with protecting the wildlife which is why you will see elk, pronghorn antelope, black bear, and deer grazing in this area. This entire area is covered in mountain sagebrush and native grasses with some juniper and pine.

NOTE: New Mexico does generally require at least 3/4 of an acre (which is 3 lots) to issue a building permit for a permanent home when the lot is not serviced by a city sewer system. There may be some grandfathered rights due to this being an older subdivision, which possibly may allow building on a single lot by Installing an advanced septic system. If and when city sewage is installed this would no longer be an issue. If you are looking at owning a single lot for recreational uses such as camping or RV parking when in the area this won't affect you.
