| MLS# 145 | Gila Hot Springs - Remote Heavily Wooded Cliff Home |
Type: Site Built
Asking Price: $161,500
Address: Gila Hot Springs Retreat
City: Gila Hot Springs Near Gila Cliff Dwellings
State: NM
Bedrooms: 2
Bathrooms: 1
Approx. Square Footage: 700
Approx Acres: .5 acres (1/2 acre) - deed shows .6 acre Miles of forest trails accessible from home
More features: Well Insulated home. Large Single Pane Windows -have spectacular views. Greenhouse with separate entrance provides extra storage. Ramada on North end of structure provides shade and a cool resting area on hot summer days. Original wood slats need replacement due to years of sun (and my neglect). House has been a retreat only for several years and is in various stages of rough and ready. Maintenance has been minimal but not neglected. We are (Winter 2008) in the process of doing more than the minimum this year and we may be able to boast some upgrades this season. Landscaping (mostly) by Mother Nature. Live Oaks. Juniper. Ponderosa Pine, Cactus, and Native Plants. Lot's of critters make this part of the river their homes. Property is generally steeply sloped overall except for the flat area where the foundation was poured, and is about 25 feet in elevation above the old/current/future Gila River channel. Property is high and dry above the Gila River where only a Noah type event of any concern. Flat fingered rock outcrops for bird's eye views from above. Amazing. More photos available from seller through the REQUEST INFO tab. Property is best shown on weekends with considerable advance notice needed. Real Estate Agent owned and not motivated to haggle. Will look at all offers however. |

Remarks: This is a one of a kind property. Remote location with moderately difficult access. Currently property is used as a weekend retreat. Small self contained trailer on site. (Solar powered trailer may be purchased separately as personal property) The lot is small at around 1/2 acre (deed says .6 acre), but the lack of population and location gives it the feel of a much larger parcel. Certainly one of the most private parcels around. Reliable water with holding tank and pressurized delivery. Electric circuits with breaker box. Antique stove heat - Well insulated - stays very warm inside with little wood fuel required.There are many reasons that Native people made the area of the 3 forks of the Gila River their homes for thousands of years.The Hot Springs area of the Gila is a very special place, 5 miles to Gila Cliff Dwellings National Monument and less to several major Wilderness Area access points, hot springs, etc. A half million acres of Natl. Forest and Wilderness to play in or explore. 5 minute stroll to soak in natural hot springs on the Gila River. 4x4 needed or walk from river crossing (a bit steep near the house but we oldtimers do it with ease by going slow). ALWAYS PRIVATE!! Small store and gas within 5 minutes. 40 miles to major retail in Silver City. IMPORTANT NOTE: Due to small lot size and with proximity to Gila River (100 yards), a very expensive permanent water / sewer solution (18K-20K estimated) may be required. Owner to credit back 25K cash at closing (Buyer's funds held to be in escrow until repairs are completed) for acceptable permanent water/sewer solution. |
