Description
Welcome to The Sherwood Escape, located in Sherwood Forest a residential subdivision created in the 1970's and nestled in the foot hills of the breath taking Manzano Mountains. This property boasts privacy as it is in a private subdivision where only land owners are allowed. This particular parcel is 1.36 acres in size. In 2008 the Trigo fire affected the parcel, but since then it has bloomed back beautifully with gamble oak tress and some juniper as well. The entrance of the subdivision is adjacent to the impeccably beautiful, scenic and notorious 4th of July Trail which is great for UTV's and dirt bikes as well as being in short distance of multiple trail heads. At the bottom of the road is the land grant of Torreon, and a few miles in each direction are more land grants and historic Spanish settlements, those being Tajique, Manzano, and Punta de auga. Highway 55 in which these settlements lay is also known as the Scenic Byway for the Salt Mission Trail. Multiple Ruins from the Spanish Salinas Pueblo Missions are within 10-20 mins from the campsite depending on which one is visited. There is Quarai located in Punta de Augua which is about 10 mins from the property, keep going another 10 mins into the also historic town of Mountainair which has a local market, Dollar General, dining locations and other things to see including the historic and haunted Shaffer Hotel. Mountainair is located where Highway 55 and 60 meet, and just a few minutes down highway 60 you will find the next ruin, Abo. Come and camp or bring your r/v to this vacant lot and enjoy what the Manzano Mountains have to offer.
