Ultimate peace and privacy. Nestled in juniper-wooded hills with sweeping views. Close to Albuquerque (20 minutes) and Santa Fe (40 minutes) but feels like a secluded retreat. Most people have no problem finding my place by entering my address in their GPS. However, I have had 2 HipCampers report their GPS directed them to a road called Camino de las Brisas or Las Brisas Loop. Turning here will lead you to a steep, dangerous road where it will be very difficult to turn around if you're in an RV and impossible with a trailer. Continue on Camino de Las Huertas to Senda Osa Vieja. It's marked with a street sign, a stone monument with brass plate. There's also a blue "private road" sign with a dragon. This land was purchased in 1956 by my archeologist parents because of the ancient pueblo site (dating from 1000 A.D.) and pit house sites (dating from 800 A.D.) Until the mega drought seriously impacted the land, a stream ran through it year round. Now it is only intermittent. Across the valley from this property, and within view of the campsite, is the site of a Spanish Colonial village, San Jose de las Huertas. It dates from the 1700s and is now owned by the Archeological Conservancy. This area is rich in history both Native American and Spanish.

Lovely private site! Susan was kind and welcoming. Her land is beautiful and quiet. Well, coyotes woke me up a couple times but I didn't mind! So much wildlife!

Susan was lovely and greeted me when I arrived. The views are wonderful and being so close to the prehistory of New Mexico filled my soul.

Beautiful

I loved driving out into Placitas, very beautiful. The owner communicated well about details. The land was amazing. Very cool that there was water and electrical outlets. It was peaceful and the sunset/sunrise were beautiful. The only thing was that I didn't realize it was so close to the house and I didn't find the hiking exciting.

Peace and quiet in the high desert

Lovely perch in the high desert with water and household current for comfort. Susan has one large site overlooking the foothills of the mountains with no shade but sunny cool mornings and peaceful nights. There was almost always a breeze and sometimes a stiff wind. One night, we watched a full moon climb over the mountains and flood the area with a gold light. We stayed 4 nights in a small RV and were very comfortable. Road access is easy, 30 minutes to ABQ and internet access an 8-minute drive to the local library. No dump so plan accordingly. Susan is charming and a great host.
