Description

12518 Hwy 60 offers a rare chance to own a true slice of Southwestern history, an iconic property once home to the Water Canyon Lodge, complete with its former dance hall, restaurant, and even a gas station that served travelers along this storied stretch of highway. Today, the dance hall, adobe building, hotel remnants, and old service station structure still stand as proud reminders of the past, each brimming with character and possibility. The historic dance hall has been thoughtfully adapted to include a guest room, bathroom, cold-storage room, and a generous open area perfect for gatherings, events, or creative reimagining. The cozy studio home formerly the service station building has been transformed into an inviting 450 sq-ft living space featuring a kitchen accented with the original sink from the dance hall, a bath, sleeping area, and a comfortable sitting nook. A 24-foot RV has also been used as an Airbnb, staying true to the property's legacy of welcoming weary travelers. Step outside and you're greeted by sweeping views of surrounding mountain ranges and some of the clearest, most unobstructed night skies in New Mexico. In the "Food Forest" , peach and apricot trees flourish, alongside a grape arbor, greenhouse, and raised garden bed an ideal environment for outdoor produce growing. For those who crave a deeper connection to the land, an outdoor clawfoot tub sits shaded beneath mature elm trees, offering a peaceful place to soak and unwind. The property is fenced and cross-fenced for livestock, and the old hotel, currently home to a charming herd of goats already has electricity and water plumbed in, making it ripe for restoration or reinvention. Whether you're drawn by the romance of the Southwest, the entrepreneurial potential, or the desire for a peaceful retreat after long days in the hustle and bustle, this property invites you to bring your vision to life. Opportunities like this don't come around often-don't miss your chance to own a piece of New Mexico history with endless potential.
