Forested Lot With No Restrictions Partially Fenced & Close To Power

The subject property is a 5 acre lot located along Red Fox Road in Bakers Glen, a forested rural subdivision found halfway between Gallup and Grants and within easy driving distance of the Cibola National Forest.

When we speak of property we typically use an address -- 123 Main Street for instance. 

As most vacant land does not have a physical address, however, county governments will identify it in other ways, such as a "legal description", a parcel number or a tax code. The information provided in the table to the right are the ways in which the various state and county agencies will identify this specific parcel of land. These signifiers are important to have when speaking with these agencies - whether they be the assessor, the zoning office, or even the local utilities - and may prove invaluable when initiating conversations about whatever research a buyer intends to do.

Whenever one exists or has been assigned to the land, the physical address will be included in this table.

Roads & Access: The subject property is located along Red Fox Road. While Red Fox sits only a short distance from the paved Indian Service Route 120, one still needs to drive along Bodean Road when entering the subdivision. As both Bodean and Red Fox are dirt roads, and as Red Fox appears to receive little traffic or maintenance, a larger truck or off-road capable vehicle is recommended when visiting the property.

Power & Utilities: Underground power and telecom lines are currently being installed along Bodean Road and stop roughly a half mile from the subject property. While residential power lines can be found in different pockets of Candy Kitchen, there are none at or within a mile of the subject property. Because of this, anyone looking to develop the land is encouraged to research alternative forms of power such as solar panels. Anyone looking to investigate the costs associated with getting power extended to the subject property is encouraged to contact Continental Divide Electric Cooperative, the utility company servicing this region.

Zoning: Cibola County is one of the few New Mexico counties that has no formal county-wide zoning ordinance and defers instead to towns, municipalities and owners' associations within its borders to make and enforce their own rules. Because of this, the only "local" regulations specific to this region would come either from an Association or from the covenants and restrictions on file for the subdivision.

No HOA: The Bakers Glen subdivision, like most all the surrounding communities, is not part of an HOA and there are no annual dues associated with land ownership here.

Covenants, Conditions & Restrictions: In addition to having no HOA, Bakers Glen has no covenants, conditions or restrictions (CCRs) recorded with the County. This means there are no subdivision restrictions on land use either.

The Hemingway Land Company does our best to represent the properties we list as accurately as possible. Our research, however, will always be limited. 

Because of this, included in the table to the right is a list of the relevant state and county governments, agencies and authorities as well as local utilities (and all their respective websites and contact information) which should help to answer any questions a buyer may have about developing this specific property.

Whenever possible it is best to speak with these agencies first as they will always be a far greater source of information about the local region and the regulations which govern it.  

Fencing And Boundary Markers: It should be noted that fencing marks the entire northern border of the property, and boundary markers can be found on the remaining corners (see photos in the gallery at the bottom of this page). As these boundaries have been clearly marked, and as the western boundary is road frontage, this means that whoever purchases the land will likely be able to save money on the cost of an expensive survey.

Topography: The subject property features a gradual incline from the road to the back or eastern end of the parcel. In addition to this gradual hillside, it features a diverse topography of flat cut-out areas, forested regions, rock outcroppings and mature Ponderosa and Pinion Pines.

Re-Plat: It should be noted that the subject 5 acre property was a re-plat of what was once a larger 10 acre property. While the County was not able to produce a more current plat map for this listing page, we have done our best to modify the original plat map to indicate the actual size and shape of this 5 acre parcel (see plat map in the Maps and Boundaries section of this listing page).

While small towns such as Ramah and Fence Lake sit within relatively close proximity of the subject property and will provide easy access to gas, convenience and some supply stores, the larger towns of Grants and Gallup (both roughly an hour away) will be your nearest source for most every day supplies. Grocery stores and Walmart Supercenters can be found in both towns, along with fast food chains and sit-down restaurants. While building supply stores can also be found in both, Home Depot only has a presence in Gallup. Each town boasts a Municipal Airport as well as medical facilities such as the Cibola General Hospital in Grants and the Rehoboth McKinley Christian Healthcare Center in Gallup. It is only Gallup, however, which features recreational gambling such as the Fire Rock Casino.

In addition to the Cibola National Forest, there are a number of scenic National and State Parks within easy driving distance of the subject property. Those parks include - but are not limited to - the El Malpais National Monument, El Morro National Monument, Bluewater Lake State Park, Ramah Reservoir, the Ice Caves & Bandera Volcano and Quemado Lake.
