Diamond Tail is a gated, low-density, master-planned community, that stands apart from all other areas of Placitas. Prospective homeowners will appreciate our low HOA dues and competitive real estate prices.
We are surrounded on all four sides by open high desert terrain and distant mountain views. Cibola National Forest and Montezuma Crest to the southwest. Privately owned Diamond Tail Ranch to the south, east and north, and distant views of the Jemez, Sangre De Cristo and Ortiz mountain ranges gives Diamond Tail stunning 360 degree views like no other community in the Placitas area.
Our community offers peace and solitude with stunning panoramic views. Over 37% of the 900 acres is dedicated to open space. Owners enjoy seeing the local wildlife including birds, squirrels, deer and bunnies. Dark sky covenants that protect the most amazing big starry night skies.
Our plentiful water supply is renewable and sustainable. The respected hydrogeology firm of Shomaker & Associates conducted a water study for Diamond Tail. They determined that there is water sufficient in quantity to fulfill the maximum annual water requirements for the subdivision, including water for indoor and outdoor domestic uses for a minimum period of 100 years.
