PROPERTY INFORMATION
2 adjoining 1/2 acre lots for sale in the NW part of Rio Rancho, New Mexico by the new solar farm. Rural investment property between Albuquerque and Santa Fe in Sandoval County. Beautiful views of the Sandia and Jemez Mountains and pretty scattered wildflowers blooming in the spring sunshine! It sits in unit 6 on the central west side of the city about 3.5 miles from the current city limits.

All of the photos were taken of the property and its surrounding views in April 2017. It sits on 38th St NW, just east of Encino Rd NW, the main drag thru this part of the city, so there is decent access to the property. There is power out in this area and the power company indicated it would be very expensive to bring to the property. I suggest you consider solar or another source. I did not see anyone in nearby so plenty of privacy for now!

It’s a cute chunk of land with scattered trees that I thought were pretty big for Rio Rancho! There are pretty cactus scattered about blooming in the springtime sunshine! Wow was one super pretty with bright red flowers – hadn’t seen that color before in Rio Rancho! It slopes downhill to the north to a low point between the gentle rolling hills. It looks like it might be a little stream during heavy rains.

It’s within an hour of Santa Fe, about 31 miles NW of Albuquerque International Sunport Airport, 12 miles NW of the Presbyterian Rust Medical Center Emergency, 11 miles W of the UNM Sandoval Regional Medical Center Emergency, and 12.5 miles NW of Intel, one of the largest semiconductor fabrication plants in the world. It’s about ½ mile N of the new $16-Million, 86 Acre solar energy project by PNM that started construction in the fall of 2014. It’s located by the water tower at Encino Rd and Northern Boulevard. The 82,350 solar panels will generate the energy used by 2,400 average residential customers. Cool!

To the North are the Jemez Mountains, home of the Santa Few National Forest and Soda Dam which I explored Easter 2007. From the NE to the SE is a view of the Sandia Mountains. Sandia Peak rises to 10,678 feet and the mountain range lies largely within the Cibola National Forest.

I thought it would also make a great off grid spot for someone looking for a rural spot in the countryside in Rio Rancho with decent access back to town and lots of privacy. Enjoy! Char the Explorer : )


Financing Price: $4,500 Per Lot

Terms with $100 down payment: $4,400 at 8% interest with approximately 52 monthly payments of $100.

Any down payment made over the required $100 Smile4u will match off of the principle balance.

Buddy and Char's Journey Around Rio Rancho Estates in January 2015!



At the end of January, 2015 I spent two days taking photos from 23 different places around Rio Rancho. Take a journey around Rio Rancho with me and Buddy! Wow was I thrilled after exploring them! What a great tour around the less developed parts of Rio Rancho. I was going to say undeveloped but as you will see growth definitely continues in Rio Rancho!

I arrived late in the afternoon the first day and raced towards Southern Boulevard to see a few properties. I noticed the Presbyterian Rust Medical Center just south of Southern Boulevard on Unser had a huge crane sitting out front of it. This is by Intel and I didn’t realize there was a major hospital so close by the southern units! I read that it is undergoing an $80 million expansion adding a tower with 120 additional beds and cancer patient services. It opened in October 2011 with 68 beds and was designed to accommodate growing populations which this places continues to do!



I had enough time to visit four properties and the first one was only about 4 miles away from that hospital in unit 8 with power at the back of it! What a great start to the new land portfolio I thought! A short while later I watched the sunset from unit 4 in the SW part of the city. Wow was it a beautiful sunset! I could see the city lights of Albuquerque across the valley and it was eventually dark enough to see the Man In the Moon above the pink and orange night sky!



As I sat watching the sunset I mentioned that I either wanted to go to a fabulous pasta house or hole in the wall Mexican for dinner! I didn't really have a favorite restaurant for as many times as I've been here. On the way back along Southern Boulevard we spotted Joe’s Pasta House and quickly turned into the parking lot. Talk about lucky!



It was a crowded place on a Friday night with a little bar where you can wait. I noticed it had a big beautiful glass jar of house made Sangria sitting there and although I prefer red wine I do enjoy a glass of sweet red once in a while! So I sat down and ordered a fabulous glass…ok I had two…and then one heck of a pasta dish! The bartender was such a friendly man who educated me about this long time Sicilian restaurant! Wow! Wow! Wow! I definitely have a favorite restaurant there now and I collected their business card on the way out!

Early the next morning I headed out to unit 3 which is in the very SW corner of Rio Rancho and spotted a few of the hot air balloons that Rio Rancho is known for over the horizon from a couple of the properties I purchased! I read that the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta takes place in early October and is the largest event in the world lasting 9 days and over 500 balloons yearly.



The cool temperatures that time of year create the "Albuquerque box", a set of predictable wind patterns. Balloon Fiesta Park sits about 6 miles SE of Rio Rancho and it was a pretty good view of the balloons that morning from two of the properties I purchased....for those of you who think that might be a cool way to start your weekend morning with a hot cup of coffee!

Later on that morning I watched kids out jumping their motorcycles by units 1 & 2. There are some sand dunes on the very west side of Rio Rancho and I've had people tell me they played in these hills as kids. I sure spent a lot of time getting the perfect shot and they were good sports letting me watch. As much as I thought the young kid on the motor bike keeping up with the older kids was cool it was this older one on the green bike that was my favorite jump shot!



We made our way that day from the S to the N spotting a few cool birds, an old airplane over head and even a coyote. I literally ran right into the new 86 acre solar farm in Rio Rancho Estates Unit 6 by Northern and Encino by the water tower.



The $16-million Sandoval County Solar Energy Center project by PNM started construction in early fall 2014. The 82,350 solar panels will generate the energy used by 2,400 average residential customers. Cool! I bought a 1.96 acre parcel of land that sits a few lots away from it that has a pretty high assessed value so I guess I better do some more research on that piece before I put it up for sale...might be gold under it! : )

While I must say I really enjoyed touring the southern units in Rio Rancho I also like the northern part which is a lot different with its big rolling hills hidden in the trees and cactus! I was surprised by the tall chollas with their yellow and orange waxy flowers that spread across one of the gentle rolling valleys as far as I could see in unit 26! They were so thick – beautiful!



You can see for miles over the valley to Albuquerque from some parts up here and the growth in the distance around the city center and surrounding neighborhoods. While it remains largely undeveloped it too has many people living up in these areas hidden in the trees and I saw quite a few off grid homes with solar panels set up.



And I sat up there and watched the sunset over Rio Rancho again on the Sandia Mountains. She has some interesting massive rocks at the top of her that really reflects the sunset off them!



And once the sun went down on came the lights of Albuquerque again lighting up the valley below! If you're considering living here I think it would be a great idea to not only view the property during the day time but at night also! Imagine big picture windows overlooking the Sandia Mountains glowing pink from the reflection of the sunset and the city lights of Albuquerque at night!



I couldn't think of a better way to end my day than repeating what we had done the night before so back to Joe’s Paste House I went for another glass of sangria and seafood this time! I spotted Joe’s in a few local flyers and read that it was voted “Best of the City Top 5” for 2014 by Albuquerque the Magazine! I sure can pick them!



A special shout out to our fearless mascot Buddy who helped by marking several of the properties! It really was pretty the way he blended into the blonde landscape and he looked so handsome in his Little Stud jacket! He was a tired man at the end of the day with his tongue sticking out! He lost all his front teeth several years ago in a fight over a dog bone and the older he gets the more his tongue sticks out! Still good looking none the less!
