Loved your excitement. We bought land and built a vacation cabin near Red River in 1991. We love the area as well. We sometimes take a trash bag with us and clean the trails or along a road when we're hiking. Sadly the tourists and the locals don't have the appreciation they should for the natural beauty around them. Thank you for your videos. Well done my friend!
That is awesome!
Laurent I over there about that time. Had to go back to Ohio for parents but am back now ❤
When buying property rights in New Mexico, always have the property surveyed by a licensed surveyor and a quitclaim issued to and signed by all adjacent landowners before finalizing the purchase. This is essential to prevent property boundary disputes due to old crooked fence lines-especially in mountainous terrain-which were constructed out of alignment either by accident or on purpose. Without the survey and quitclaim you will have no legal leg to stand on to defend your property boundaries.
Good to know.
That’s how it is in every state 😂
@@2A_supporter Not in California, where title insurance deals with such issues. 🤨
@@fluxfaze💰Still🤑Always prudent to also do your own "due dilligence$"
Don’t they have a title insurance in New Mexico ???
Hello Friends! It probably goes without saying that this is a huge development for me. And, because this adventure is about 2 weeks old, I will share that I have officially relocated to New Mexico! The property should close escrow in the next two weeks. Even if it doesn't, I am sold on the region and am already getting integrated into the community with BIG plans. If anyone is interested in talking to Gabriel about the area, I encourage you to connect with him. I get NOTHING other than good vibes from him for your referral. I added a link to his info in the video description. Life is short! Eat dessert first!
You got it right 'life is short and take a bite of it's desert when ever possible!
misspelled dessert'shit!
😁 I do. Eat my desert first.
I adore the Northern NM area! I’d live there in a heartbeat
Hope you love N. New Mexico as much as I do! Made the decision 13 years ago to leave Washington state. For the beautiful valley of ANGEL FIRE. The skiing, golfing, fishing, hiking, and now adventure touring on my Triumph Tiger 955i . The dirt and gravel roads/trails are not for cruisers or bobbers. But there are a ton of great places to load up and explore. You’ll definitely enjoy this place. Hope to see you around.

Hey Scott " Andrew and Tina crespin here ' just watched the video on the cabin property and just have to say 'what a beautiful place and thank you for the shout out and for including us into the video, we both thought that was so cool of you to do that ,the erea fits you well it is you ,you look like you are truly happy there and it really shows in your energy 'I feel it's going to suite you well ,I feel like it's the same atmosphere as Greer Arizona but only bigger vast open country and less people to get in the way 'flat landers from Phoenix city people I'm referring to like hear in Az,it's unbelievable there 'paradise is what it is! well I'm going to sign off for now until next time Scott again thanks for all you do and another great video in the books .
Hi there Andrew! Thanks for watching... once again... and for the kind words and support. Glad you found appreication for the shout out and thank you for making that effort to begin with. Cheers!
Nice to here people living free, good luck.
Thanks, Charlton.
They still have a Democrats government.
Taos, Angel Fire, all of New Mexico! Your choice is an outstanding one. Congratulations 🥳...so very happy for you.
Thank you very much, James. Look forward to sharing lots of great adventure videos with you from here. Great things to come, fine sir!
Many artists go to just visit Taos, then never leave. From Long Beach Ca Im going to Taos this January to snowboard and ski. We are driving. Ive been skiing Taos since 1989. I used to go more regular. The last time i was there in 2003. Ive been reading about skiing Taos since my teen years. Ski magazines have always portrayed Taos Ski Valley Bavarian outpost, a mystical secret spot and an extreme skiers paradise. I found it to be all that and more. I can’t wait to return. Thanks for the video
It is a very unique region.
Best of everything to you. Remember the ways of the old folks. Keep it green. Welcome home. 🌲
You got that right! I am all about balance with nature.
That is beautiful land and your cabin will be great! Thanks for picking up the trash. Some people are pigs.
I absolutely LOVE that area! I was TDY at Kirtland AFB in Albuquerque a couple times in the early 2000's and absolutely loved it, I'm planning on finding a few acres of land South of Albuquerque in a small town called Las Lunas and build a off grid homestead.
It can be a dream life.
Did you find anything? I'm looking also
@@Johnnys_World859 Not lately, had some family medical issues happen but I still look from time to time.
When we were looking for a place to buy for our retirement I never saw this area. We were living in Denver for a couple of years looking for a place, finally settled for a place near Las Vegas because it was very cheap and near my son in Santa Fe. If I had seen the Red River/Angel Fire area I probably would have wanted to locate there but it is an extra 2 hours from my grandson and son. It very nice that this area is close to me. The rivers are really pretty. Love it. I've never been to Taos.
Taos is really great. You should go.
Northern NM has been our go-to getaway place since the early 70’s to find relief from the heat of TX summers. Beautiful area, glad you’ve discovered it. Amarillo is a good place that’s not too far away from Angel Fire to get goods and services.
Very cool!
I'm just seeing this and I see you did it a year ago.. I guess I can follow more recent posts to see if you are still in Taos area. I live on Taos Mesa but own land in Cabresto Canyon between Questa and Red River. Love it ❤
Hi there! We still own the property and live there as our primary residence. We are also working on a project in Arizona for a bit. New show coming to the channel, too!
Thanks for your reply. Wonderful to see your life (& the wedding). On the video I saw of you looking for property in NM & also the hike up Wheeler Peak the down trees bothered me and I kept listening for you to remark that the last winter had a dreadful "Blow Down" that balded some of our mountains.. Actually had destruction all across the nation.
I would think that area of New Mexico is less of a target to foreign enemies as well. If a national or world wide "struggle".
That Kit Carson really got around. Im in Carson City Nv right now.
I love the Taos area too. Definitely hope to end up living there. Looking forward to seeing how you land purchase goes.
Thanks Michael! Me too!
O gosh thank you Scott for the shout out. It was such a great Day to meet you in person. Me and Andy are going up north to our property this weekend june 18th and im going to film to make a video on our outdoor . shower build. 😁 I hope after you get settled We can take a road trip to see Angel fire and near by towns. It absolutely looks Amazing. Best wishes for your new adventure. See you soon .💙
You are more than welcome!
Really glad to see you living your dream scott.wish you all the best in your new venture.
Thanks so much! MM! I really appreciate that.
I have so much to talk about New Mexico. Its home... will always be
Amazing,love the views just subscribed,your giving me ideas, thank you and congratulations
Awesome! Thank you, Roberto! If this is your first episode watched, you have a whole season to binge! Lots of great stuff in the Pursuit of Cabin Living series. Plus, a new episode going up today. Cheers, and welcome to the family.
Stunning part of NM! My son is a grad student at UNM Albuquerque.....totally different scenery for sure! Just subscribed to your channel!
Thanks for subscribing!
Hello. Just came across your chanel. My brother lives there and I am enjoying seeing. This area as. I have never been here. L
Thanks for watching!
Looks awesome. Great video. Looking forward to seeing what the future looks like.
You and me both! Thanks MGA!
Said it before... exciting times ahead! Looks like a beautiful spot and a wonderful town. Best wishes that your dreams come true...
Thanks so much Richard!
REALLY enjoyed this video Scott. So inspiring yet again and great to see the progress you are making. 👍
Glad you enjoyed it Paul!
Awesome episode exited to see what happens with your offer on the property. Good luck!
Thank you! Me too!
This is so awesome!!!!!!!!
Glad you enjoyed it, Morris! Come visit any time.
We use to live in a little town outside Albuquerque, called Tijeras. I loved New Mexico. The only reason I didn’t stay is I have family in Pa.
It really is a great place. There are beautiful places in the east... but I couldn't live there as I need access to the vast, wide open spaces of the west. If I did choose to live in the east it would either be in the Carolinas or Upstate NY or Vermont or Maine.
Scott, I sure enjoyed your video. I love NM and Colorado as well. I lived in Santa Fe a couple of years back in the 80's, but it was just too expensive there even back then. Now it's ridiculously expensive. I bought property in Pagosa Springs because I love the outdoors, the hot springs and skiing at Wolf Creek. My closest friend lives south of Chama. I almost bought property there, but it is just too isolated.
Thank you for your land stewardship. I have picked up hundreds of pounds of garbage left by uneducated humans that have no respect for Mother Earth. When I lived in Central Oregon (20 years), I often picked up enough beer cans and bottles to pay for another 6 pack. Every bottle or can there was worth a 5 cent refund.
I too looked at property around Taos, Angel Fire, & Red River (outrageously expensive), but I couldn't find anything affordable without restrictions or an HOA payment that was an arm and a leg. Good luck on your new home.
Is Pagosa any cheaper? Or are you referring to back in the 80's? We were in Chama a few months ago. The town is improving in itself but you are right, not much else out there. Beautiful area though.
Thanks
Welcome
Looking forward to the future Scott, glad to see things all coming together for you. You got me to get out there
Excellent! So glad to hear that Mr. B!
Man I'm with you on the trash, if 'they' don't pick it up...I will !
Considering a move to that area in spring; that trash begs some questions:
1)Got turistas or worse locals that don't care
2)Tells of a lack of any authority in area
3)Raises a query as to any security considerations (lone cabin in woods)
Not paranoid......but litters are criminals in my eye. In my current part Texas, daily trash likely from folks on move..maybe desperate.
Truth. However, the same people lazy enough to leave garbage, it turns out, are just as lazy about going out of their way to do illegal stuff.
Great episode. Imagine if everyone just cleaned up their own trash!
I'm imagining..... ;-)
I am looking, at moving to N. M. so this helps, I am concerned about the monsoons, in some areas, thank you for the information, lost of luck.
Glad it was helpful! I wouldn't worry about Monsoons. I have lived in the Southwest for 32 years and monsoons have never caused more than a few damaged trees from high winds once in a while. Having said that, don't find yourself hiking in or driving through a wash during a storm as washes fill with water (the way they are supposed to) during storms. Monsoon season is my favorite season in the SW. Beautiful storms, thunder, and the smell of wet creosote is signature for the season.
Brother I did what your doing 6 years ago found a place just east of taos been here ever SINCE god bless just know new Mexico is very expensive
Good stuff. Just east?
@@4XPEDITION mora new Mexico' or penasco these are little towns angel fire is GREAT to God bless
Love your channel !! , Larry
Thanks for watching, Larry! Glad you enjoyed the videos. Lots more to come.
You need a custom van build!!! I happen to be a small van builder. lol
Last year that would’ve been some thing on my list this year, I’ll be investing in improving my property...once closed.
I am looking for someone to rebuild my van
I love Taos and have spent 2 summers there…
I wish I was up there with a Tin Kerr fishing rod, right now
Those nearby houses probably have an easement to use the road you'd like to close.
It's not an easement. That has been cleared in the Deed.
May I ask why you chose NM over AZ? We have been watching your channel for a while now and you inspired us to actuallly consider AZ as a place to relocate to. We have been camping for many years all over AZ. We love the Sedona area, but there are no good hospitals for my wife who works as a Nurse Practitioner, so we are thinking about the surrounding Tuscon area or Phoenix outskirts, but pricey for what it is and not as green as Tucson. Tucson area seems to have some green nature with some nice lots near Vail, Marana, etc.. We started looking in Bozeman, then Boise and we are now considering Arizona, but we love the forest and need to be near a very good hospital. You're cabin looks great! Any feedback is greatly appreciated!
Hi Robert. Thanks for watching the channel. Arizona population has boomed in the past 15 years and for good reason. Because so, many people are making their way into areas that used to be seldom visited. After living there for 32 years, I felt it was time to find a new place to explore. Plus, the cost of living in Arizona has risen. New Mexico is still a state with a small population and, being the second poorest state in the US, the cost of living and land is better. I wanted a mountain property in the forest. Arizona has quite a bit, but again, the cost is rising. I felt NM was a place I could get what I wanted and still be within a day's drive to the warm winter climate of the Arizona desert.
A wonderful video but God I almost done with the video wondering how much for the property
You want to buy it? We might consider selling... ;-)
Nice May photos. What does the water look like at the end of August?
Hi Rich. Are you referring to the Rio?
Rent a Jeep & drive up to Cabristo Lake. You can get a map at the Library in RR, or at many of the businesses.
I was just talking to someone the other day about that area. Thanks!
What's the best way to keep a place a secret? ;-)
Just register your sprinter in NM thank you for liking the State my Mother land come by the Rez and visit someday
Sounds great!
Beautiful area. Just a little warning. Be careful as an outsider in some northern New Mexico mountain towns. One of the most pretty areas on earth, but there is some ugliness. The good out weighs the bad though. Always good to be armed up there.
Thanks for the tips, Zach. Been here for just about a year now and all is going great!
I live in a small mountain town in Northern NM…. Care to share?
I think getting land there before e everyone hears about it,is a good idea
it is.
Complete sleeper area, look up Idaho Wyoming Montana being bought up like crazy…. Plus New Mexico just has that “special feel” to it never felt that in any other state I guess “enchanted” is word
@@itsnick37 It's not for everyone. Up as high in elevation, you have to be ok with living at 9,000+ feet, very limited conveniences, and being a nature lover. It is totally enchanting.
Yeah...... we like our privacy here in the land of enchantment.
Just need the $$$$$$$$
Who plays the guitar music in your trip to Taos??
That is licensed stock music.
Dang it, stop advertising my hideaway. I've been spending time in Northern NM since the '80s. I'm a 6 hr drive from that area north of Taos. Did you hear about the quaint mountain town that won't allow franchise hotels, fast food, etc? I've heard well-traveled ppl call it the Switzerland of the SW USA. I recognize this winding mountain road, & the elk herd. Wheeler Peak? You're too close to my digs.
But, your profile name says TX? And I know the CO town well, fine sir! The elk were much further south.
@4XP... Not a sir, Sir.👱♀️😉💃 OK, there's more than one quaint mountain town in that region practicing restrictions on franchise business. It's true that my home base is in the center of the TX Panhandle, but my favorite SECRET place in the world is in NE Taos County. Good luck with your acquisition of property. What is the best way to ensure a quiet place remains that way? 🤫😀
@@rt3box6tx74 Oh my gosh! My apologies. My answer: Institute growth control protocol at the administrative level because everyone is on the move and you cannot stop it from happening.
@@4XPEDITION LOL... Sounds like a good time to SELL SELL SELL!🙃
@@rt3box6tx74 I know growth all too well as I lived in a city that grew from 2M to 6M in the 30 years that I lived there (PHX) and yes, many of my favorite places became overrun with people...which is why I became an advocate of the national forest instituting permits for access to some of the most pristine places... and even helped the forest service secure a permit system in one stunning locale called Fossil Creek. Generally, if you watch my channel, I don't disclose specific locations, just regions and in fact, I immediately block any viewer (block them from my channel altogether) that discloses the location specifically after I ask them not to in the video.
Check the registration prices in NM. I was shocked to hear what you are paying. My Chevy Suburban costs $61.20 per year. It goes by weight and it weighs 6,800. Gross vehicle weight.
Finally got all my vehicles registered. Very reasonable numbers.
I pay more than that in Ohio around $74.00 a year for a half ton pickup.
That water may not be as "fresh" as you think. There's a recently mothballed Molybdenum mine west of Red River. Where there's Moly there's usually uranium.
As a strange turn of events, today, I was invited to go on a Jeep rally in the mountains around Red River. The organizer of the event invited me to ride along with him. Turns out, he is on the crew for the mine remediation and explained to me the measures Chevron has gone the lengths of to ensure that water is as clean as possible...primarily having to do with very expensive filtration systems for all run-off from that mine. Pretty crazy that you mentioned this and today I was in that conversation front and center.
@@4XPEDITION I'm sure the remediation group is doing their best... but look up at that rockslide waiting to happen, as you travel from RR to Questa. It drains straight into the river alongside the highway. I'm not sure if that mine can still be viewed from Google Earth or if it's blocked now. A cpl decades ago I spent days exploring the mine sight. My RR neighbor's son worked there. I believe he maintained the pipeline, then went to diesel mechanic's school to learn heavy equipment repair. He applied for a job with the shutdown team but wasn't hired.
Did you check out Chama?
Just did last week. Really like that area. Hadn't been there before.
What's the weather like in summer?
high 70's day; 40's or 50's night.
Why do you want to find land?? There are plenty of desendants from the early Spanish settlers. The others usually settle close to Santa Fe, area and traveling South.
Be prepared to protect yourself and your place from vagabond weekenders, and holliday partiers that have no respect for the land; and little respect for humanity. Stay safe. 🌲
All good here. Remote and quiet. Appreciate your concerns, though!
We're In process of buying land in Ramad NM beautiful there nexts to lake and red mountains check it out.
We're leaving California
Taos is a tourist area 🎿 skiing.
New mexico is beautiful
Ramah? Near the Zuni reservation? If so, I went through my Mankind Project training near there.
@@4XPEDITION Yes Ramah so so beautiful you get access to lake for fishing I can't wait
$1200. for Registrations???? that's highway robbery!!!
You need to meet your strawman & be one of those nationalist.
Agreed!
State is too leftist.
U r 100% right about that. Sure aggravates me to pay property taxes where I don't have voting rights, b/c I'm not a full time resident
I would love to be in Northern New Mexico or Colorado and that’s the reason I won’t ever live in those states… being in a liberal state in Northeast I’m looking to get out so bad getting so expensive in all aspects and people here…. I’ll go to Idaho if I have to get away from nonsense
Ha! Idaho. Good luck getting property there. The majority of the land is national forest making the cost of property there $$$. Not to mention the influx of Californians moving there with deep pockets.
We're tryn to work with that.🙌🏼
