The established off-grid communities of Cielito Lindo and Cielito Azul use solar and wind energy, water collection systems, and permaculture design to minimize natural resource depletion without compromising modern convenience. These 5,000 acres sub-divided into 20-acre homesites, continue to receive accolades and support from the U.S. Department of Energy, Bureau of Land Management, Environmental Protection Agency, Taos County, and the State of New Mexico for their sustainable land management and housing designs. Subdivision CC&Rs respect the natural environment and are designed to support it, prohibiting pesticides, hunting, and perimeter fencing so wildlife can migrate freely, and elk may graze on the property. An architectural review committee approves new building for harmony with the landscape and neighborhood. Within about 45 minutes of the property, you can hit the slopes of world-renowned Taos Ski Valley, or soak your bones at the historic Ojo Caliente Mineral Springs.
