PROPERTY INFORMATION
2.5 acre treed lot for sale in Pinehill, New Mexico about 2 hours W of Albuquerque in peaceful Pine Meadows Ranches. It has a view of the back side of El Morro National Monument by Ramah and the Zuni Pueblo! It’s close to the Cibola National Forest and fishing at Bluewater Lake State Park. It is about an hour S of Gallup and an hour W of Grants NM near the Arizona State line. This is a fascinating rural area, well off the beaten path and once home to a 900 room Anasazi Pueblo - wow what a place to explore!

All of the photos were taken of the property and its surrounding views in April 2017. It sits on Ranch Drive, one of the main drags which is a bladed dirt/graveled road maintained by the land owners association. So there is easy access right to the property. There is power one block east around lots #275 and #277, about 1/4 mile away, as seen in the maps. You will need to contact the local power company for the cost to bring power to the property.

The property is heavily treed off the road and then slopes down to the east and opens up to a pretty meadow offering views to the north of the backside of El Morro! It then slopes back up to the east into the tree line again. I would say about half of the property is thickly treed and half is open meadow in the middle. We captured this in the aerial photos. We also included a map showing where the power is at the neighbors to the east. There were wild flowers blooming, very grassy and quite a bit of old tangled wood in the trees so some firewood for camping - just make sure its not during burn ban season! I noted that these were some pretty big trees to get lost in.

I especially liked the open meadow in the middle of the property which surprised me a bit! There was thick grass and wildflowers starting to bloom in the springtime sun. It looked like a great spot for a garden with more moisture than the higher parts of the property. This little narrow valley sits a bit above the valley to the north and it offers a pretty view of those treed hills in the distance.

There is a neighbor about 3 lots NW across the other side of the street and I snapped a photo of their gate - cute little place. So hardly anyone around and lots of privacy as soon as you get back off the road on this property.

There a community well in the ranch that property owners can use to haul water for their own use. You can read more about it on the land owner’s website. We have included a link to their website where you can read the covenants as well. I've read the Ramah Navajo Chapter also has a community well with no fee to join. You would need to buy a water card and pay for the water. The well is just a few miles from Candy Kitchen Ranch on the way to Pinehill. The water is treated with ultraviolet light to purify without the taste of chemicals. The well is very fast. Takes no time at all to fill up a 500 gallon tank and it is not far from the property.

I've spent a lot of personal time having fun in this area. I've camped and had a fun time exploring in an ATV and watching the sunsets over Pine Meadows! I've also trekked to the top of El Morro National Monument and hiked along the east side of Pine Meadow Ranches at the edge of the 200 foot sandstone as it drops to the valley floor! I've visited the prehistoric cliff dwellings in Ramah, the Wild Spirit Wolf Sanctuary in Candy Kitchen and Bluewater Lake State Park in Prewitt. I included several photos of these in the additional photos areas!

The area is made up of old ranchers, artists, people living off grid in alternative style homes, and is a diverse group of people. The nearest big grocery store is an hour away but plenty of smaller stores in the community. Pinehill has a small shopping center about 15 miles SW. 16 miles SW is the small community of Candy Kitchen which has a great trading post for supplies like milk, hardware, laundromat and a great sub sandwich! Across the street is the Wild Spirit Wolf Sanctuary.

I often stay at the cabins at El Morro RV Park & Cabins about 15 minutes N in front of the big sandstone and grab a fabulous cup of coffee and one of their decadent baked goodies as I head out. It sure is beautiful waking up there after the snow has fallen – stunning to watch the giant sandstone monument wake up as the sun lights her up!

There is a cute little country store right across the street that says along its front yard wall "All I have is my planting stick and my corn. If you can live as I do you are welcome to live with me." It comes from the Hopi, a Native America Nation who primarily live on the 1.5 million acre Hopi Reservation in northeaster Arizona. Hopis call themselves Hopitu - 'The Peaceful People'.

Oh this sure would be a pretty spot for someone looking to get lost in the woods and cooler summer temperatures and grow some lavender! Enjoy! Char the Explorer : )

Cibola County - Pine Meadow Ranches, Candy Kitchen and Area Photos

Cibola County - Pine Meadow Ranches, Candy Kitchen and Area Photos

Cibola County is located in the southernmost tip of the Rocky Mountains in the Zuni Mountain Range and home of the Cibola National Forest and Bluewater Lake State Park. Its very rich in history and for the past 220 million years has been host to a variety of travelers including the dinosaurs and prehistoric culture called the Ancient Ones.

I've spent quite a bit of time exploring this area over the years. I've marveled at the rock windows in the Prehistoric Cliff Dwellings, saw petroglyph writings for my first time, explored archaeological sites, camped, toured the Wild Spirit Wolf Sanctuary a few times, hiked to the top of El Morro National Monument, sat on a warm rock outcroppings with my sister staring for miles across the Zuni Mountains, and watched Buddy sniff out lizards!

 

Candy Kitchen is a small isolated community and home to a diverse group of people. It prides itself on sustainable ways of living. It originated with a rancher who made moonshine liquor during the prohibition era. As a front for purchasing large amounts of sugar to produce his liquor, he manufactured pinon nut candy. People would come to his ranch to purchase candy over the counter and illegal liquor under the counter. It is now home of the Wild Spirit Wolf Sanctuary, a non-profit organization dedicated to providing permanent, safe sanctuary for abused and abandoned captive-bred wolves and wolf-dogs.

 

Across the street from the wolf sanctuary is the Candy Kitchen Trading Post, a great spot to stop for a cold drink and great sub sandwich. They offer food items, propane, wood, and hardware supplies.

Pine Meadow Ranches is another small community that sits on the back side of the El Morro National Monument. Also known as the Inscription Rock it rises 200 feet above the plains this was once the site of two Anasazi Pueblos in 1275 A. D. The largest pueblo was made up of over 900 rooms. Hundreds of Indian petroglyphs are found at the base as well chiseled names of numerous explorers, soldiers, settlers, and immigrants. This sandstone has been known for thousands of years for the pool of water by the great rock offering a resting stop.

This area today is designated a National Park. On MLK Day in January 2013 Buddy and I finally had the opportunity to visit El Morro National Monument. We trekked around the bottom checking out the pool of water and inscriptions. I especially liked the carving by a young woman, A F Baley (America Francis Baley,) who was one of the few females to sign it. Her and her sister were with a party crossing to California and stopped here for rest. 500 miles west they were involved in a skirmish with Indians and several died on each side. The sisters eventually did find their way to California and I am left thinking what brave women they were and wow what it must have been like to have been alive back then!

We then got brave and took the two mile trail up to the top of the mesa to see the ancient pueblo ruins. There were some stairs along the way and it was a good work out but ahead of me was a woman at least 20 years older and if she could do it so could I! She snapped a photo of me at the ruins and you can see for miles over the valley from up there - just stunning! And then I turned around and realized that the tree lines in the distance and the beautiful rocks with their red and white colors washed thru them were the same rocks I had been photographing for over 10 years now while out exploring Pine Meadow Ranches!

 

In February 2013 I explored the east edge of Pine Meadow Ranches where the edge of the sandstone mesa is! Wow was it a long way down and I was nervous when my friend climbed out onto one of the rocks hanging 200 feet over the rocks below!

A video of Char and Buddy exploring the east edge of Pine Meadow Ranches, the historical El Morro National Monument sandstone that rises 200 feet off the valley floor.

I often stay at the cabins at El Morro RV Park & Cabins and grab a fabulous cup of coffee and one of their decadent baked goodies as I head out. It sure is beautiful waking up there after the snow has fallen, stunning to watch the giant sandstone monument wake up as the sun lights her up!

There is a cute little country store across the street and along its front yard wall it says "All I have is my planting stick and my corn. If you can live as I do you are welcome to live with me." It comes from the Hopi, a Native America Nation who primarily live on the 1.5 million acre Hopi Reservation in northeaster Arizona. Hopis call themselves Hopitu - The Peaceful People. Nice : )

I stopped by Bluewater Lake State Park for my first time in September 2016. Its about 25 miles W of Grants and 1.25 hours from the ranch. I was surprised to see herons and pelicans and had to do some fact checking to make sure they indeed lived here!
