Rio de Vega – A Rare Legacy Estate on 74.54 Acres with River Frontage, Guesthouse & Barn Welcome to Rio de Vega — a legacy estate that has been cherished for generations and affectionately known by the family as “The Playground.” This extraordinary 74.54-acre property is a sanctuary of beauty, creativity, and comfort just minutes from Las Vegas, NM, and the renowned United World College. At the heart of the estate is a custom 4, 200 sq. Ft. Main residence, originally a barn kit reimagined into a luxury home by renowned designer Pedro Marquez. Featuring pine siding, alder doors, and thoughtful architectural details, the home blends rustic character with refined finishes. Two refrigerators, a chest freezer, and a stand-up freezer are included, and a 1, 000-gallon propane tank powers a Cummins generator for added peace of mind. A separate 2, 000 sq. Ft. Guesthouse offers additional comfort and privacy with its own 500-gallon propane tank and independent septic system. There’s even a third septic and 220 electric already in place, ready for an additional home to be built. The 2, 610 sq. Ft. Drive-through barn is a masterpiece in itself, constructed atop teak-floored storage containers and framed in canyon-harvested red fir. The property also includes a rebuilt, powered chicken house, multiple charming outbuildings, and three serene ponds—one spring-fed and another sealed with bentonite. Water is plentiful with the water table just 6 feet below ground and nearly half a mile of Gallinas River frontage enhanced by protective jersey barriers for added flood security. Rio de Vega is fully equipped for modern living with high-speed internet (Starlink at the guesthouse and DesertGate at the main house), plumbed 4 feet deep throughout, and year-round access with roads plowed in the winter. With abundant water rights, lush surroundings, and boundless potential for relaxation, recreation, or even expansion, this is more than just a property—it’s an opportunity to own a truly one-of-a-kind estate with deep roots and lasting possibilities.Show Description
