I'm not positive of the exact location of this "community", but I know about the general area. It is located outside of Taos NM. Back in the 60's the land was purchased in big chunks and then subdivided into "developments". I use the word loosely, because what it actually was, was a con game. The developer bought the land, had a surveyor draw up a plat map of lots or acreages and then sell them through magazine ads talking about how great the land was. What buyers found was desert scrub brush and lots that hadn't been surveyed, so they couldn't tell where their land actually was. There is no electricity, no city water or sewer lines, just miles of scrub brush and really bad dirt roads. Most of the land now is owned by the county, seized for failure to pay taxes, or by crooks who buy it and resell it on ebay to unsuspecting out of state buyers.
