53 Forest Rd #76, Angel Fire, NM 87710

A rare opportunity to own a legacy estate steps away from the entry into the Carson National Forest, this exceptional property spans up to 80 acres of private alpine woods and open meadows—a wonderful retreat in the heart of Northern New Mexico. Offering refined mountain living at its best, the handcrafted log home is ideally situated to capture sweeping views, complete serenity, and the spirit of adventure that defines the region. The interior of the residence exudes rustic elegance with its soaring tongue-and-groove ceilings, striking floor-to-ceiling rock wood-burning fireplace, and open, light-filled living spaces designed for comfort and connection. The country-style kitchen blends charm and function, featuring custom cabinetry, rich countertops, and ample storage. Step outside to lovely covered porches and wraparound decks—perfect for year-round entertaining or peaceful mornings surrounded by mountain beauty. Wildlife is a daily part of life here—watch elk and deer roam the property or photograph them from your porch. Whether you're exploring the forest on side-by-sides in the summer, snowmobiling in the winter, or simply enjoying the tranquil rhythm of the seasons, this property invites you to fully live in nature, on your own terms. The lower level of the home offers a large family room ideal for guests or recreation. Additional amenities include a fully equipped game-processing room, a 50x100 barn with indoor and outdoor horse stalls, a large private pond, an RV hook-up with power and septic, an oversized detached one-car garage with extra storage, and a propane tank which allows you to buy from any propane vendor. For the outdoor enthusiast, the 80-acre property has qualified for New Mexico Game & Fish elk tags (Secondary Management Zone) for the last eight years and again for this year’s hunting season—an invaluable benefit for hunters and conservationists alike. Tucked along a quiet Forest Service road, the estate is a true gateway into thousands of acres of wilderness in Carson National Forest—offering endless opportunities for hiking, horseback riding, and exploration. Despite its seclusion, the property is just 7 minutes from Angel Fire Resort, home to world-class skiing, a nationally renowned mountain bike terrain park, PGA-rated golf course, tennis, pickleball, and fine dining at the stunning $15 million Country Club. Angel Fire Airport, with a jet-capable runway mostly for private aircraft, is a short 10-minute drive away. Flexible purchase options are available for buyers seeking a reduced acreage footprint while maintaining privacy, views, and lifestyle. This is more than a home—it’s a generational sanctuary, a smart investment in Northern New Mexico living, and a place where lifelong memories are made.
