Land for Sale in Pilar, New Mexico

History buffs, geology enthusiasts, and Southwest admirers, this property is for you! Near the village of Pilar, nestled in the deep canyon and running along the famed Rio Grande, sits this unique property for sale. Only 25 minutes south of Taos and very close to the Espanola Valley, this property features river frontage, a pond and a spring that runs through it. The new volcanic rift, less than 40 million years old, and the much older, 2 billion years, Glen Woody Formation on the east has drawn geologists for a variety of research interests. The formation is composed of light-colored, pink to white to green, feldspathic, quartz-muscovite and quartz-eye schists. There are also many wonderful recorded facts related to the Glen Woody suspended bridge (a renowned historical landmark) and the property itself, known in the olden times as a gathering place for colorful characters of the cowboy era. Own your own piece of New Mexico history with this stunning property right on the Rio Grande River! Please note that access to the property is by walking across the bridge only. Bridge needs work. Enter at your own risk.
