PROPERTY INFORMATION

 

1/2 acre of off grid land for sale about 15 minutes SW of Deming, New Mexico in Luna County. It's about 80 miles SW of Las Cruces, NM is between Tucson, Arizona and El Paso, Texas. It’s a rural agricultural, off grid, quiet, peaceful area with decent access, hardly anyone around and big views of the Florida Mountains and Tres Hermanas Mountains. All of the photos were taken only 3 blocks, 1/4 mile, to the south in October 2015 so you can see this property in the photos as well looking to the NW. I thought it was a pretty area with pretty yellow fall colors in the vegetation! It’s about ¾ of a mile east of Hermanas Grade/County Road 003, the main roads down to this part of the valley as seen in the maps. Taylor Road is an bladed dirt road that leads along the north of the property. There is power running along Hermanas Grade but that's still quite a ways off. There are gorgeous views of the jagged peaks of the Florida Mountains from the NE all the way to the SE. They sit across the other side of the valley about 9 miles east of this parcel as seen in the section map. Each square on the section map represents one square mile. The highest point reaches up to 7,295 feet at Florida Peak! I love to photograph this mountain no matter what side of it I am on especially her sunsets! To the south are the Tres Hermanas Mountains which sit in the southern part of Luna County. It’s easy to see why they call New Mexico the Land of Enchantment! There are several miles of BLM land surrounding the Florida mountains for excellent exploring and recreation! You can see this by viewing the BLM map in the map section of the listing. BLM land is orange and private land in white. Each section (square on this map) = one square mile = 640 acres. To find out more about BLM land visit www.blm.gov. The property is zoned for a home or manufactured home and limited RV use. In January 2013, I asked the zoning department about RV use. I was told that on 1/2 an acre, if you had an RV with no utilities on site, that you can stay up to 30 calendar days a year in your RV. If you had a septic and well with a source of electricity that you can stay up to 240 days a year with a permit that is free from their office. That source of electricity can be an alternative energy like solar. Rock Hound State Park is located NE about 15 miles NE in the Florida Mountains. Click Here for more information about Rock Hound State Park where you can hunt for quartz crystals, geodes, jasper, perlite, and many other minerals. These lots don’t stay around very long once winter time comes and seem to be a great place for snowbirds seeking an affordable place in the warm desert! It is a dry, warm, breezy climate making the temperatures surprisingly comfortable considering how warm it is. I am often asked by people if I know any affordable land to go to help arthritis, and this is one of the places I suggest. This would be a great place for someone seeking cheap off grid land to enjoy the sunshine and dry heat of the desert - with lots of privacy. I actually bought my first piece of land in Deming, New Mexico when we first started investing in land and I’ve had the chance a few times now to watch the sunset over the Florida Mountains and it is spectacular! Enjoy! Char the Explorer! : )


Financing Price: $1350 Terms with $0 down payment: $1350 at 8% interest with approximately 14 monthly payments of $100. 90 days same as cash with zero down!

Luna County New Mexico Including Deming and Akela Area Photos

Luna County New Mexico Including Deming and Akela Area Photos

Deming, a small town of about 14,099, is located in the SW part of New Mexico about 60 miles W of Las Cruces and 33 miles N of the border of Mexico. It's about half way between Tucson, Arizona and El Paso, Texas along Interstate 10.

It is the county seat for Luna County, population 24,000. It is a land of ever present sun and flowing desert rocks and cacti. It is a rich agricultural area with beautiful cattle farms and crops of chilies, onions, cotton and pecans. It is known for 99% pure water.

 

 

 

I've started seeing quite a few snowbirds stay here and in 2018 I noticed two new RV parks on the west side of the Florida Mountains. Many also retire here because it's affordable. Besides the low cost of living and affordable taxes, it offers a municipal airport, hospital/ambulance service, nursing home, senior citizens center, library, over 40 churches, over 80 listed organizations, the Rio Mimbres Country Club, an 18 hole golf course, a civic center, public auditorium, schools and a community college.

Good timing seeing a man chip one to the hole in May 2018 at Rio Mimbres!

The elevation is approximately 4335 feet. It's a dry arid climate with low humidity and an average high temperature in July of 95*. That's quite a bit cooler than Tuscon at 100*, Phoenix at 106* and Yuma at 107*. People with arthritis are drawn here because it keeps the swelling and inflammation down and this is something that I can certainly relate to! The average rainfall is 9 inches. They receive occasional snowfall but it quickly melts. They are well known for their winters, offering plenty of sunshine and little rain to the snowbirds enjoying their RV's!

The Florida Mountains offers a spectacular background to these wide-open spaces. It is matched by its friendly hospitality. Click Here for more information about Rock Hound State Park, a favorite place for the locals. Rock hounders can hunt for quartz crystals, geodes, jasper, perlite, and many other minerals. You are allowed to take home up to 15 pounds! It also offers trails, unique geology, wildflower displays, and a peaceful campground.

 

 

 

In October 2015 I hiked into a canyon that was south of Cookes Peak and saw some fabulous petroglyphs in a cave!

 

A video I made of my journey to Luna County in October 2015. Buddy and I hiked into a canyon to see petroglyphs in a cave! Wow was that fabulous!

 

Cookes Canyon, a passage way thru the mountains, was part of the 3,000 mile historic southern mail route called the Butterfield Trail that began in Tennessee and ended in San Francisco. There are so many things to explore here, old abandoned mines and the famous Fort Cummings used in the 1800s to protect from Indian raids. Cookes Range Wilderness Study Area, petroglyphs at Massacre Peak and waterfalls at Black Rock Canyon are just a few things to see nearby. It's also home to the City of Rock State Park which I visited for my first time in July 2017!

 

Bill Evans Lake sits about 80 miles NW of Deming and is a favorite fishing spot to the locals. It is the home of the biggest bass ever caught in New Mexico at 15 lbs 13 oz and was 26.5" long in 1995! It turns out Evans was an attorney at Phelps Dodge in the 1960's who helped acquire the land/water rights to build the reservoir located 300 feet above the Gila River.

 

 

In September 2017, the Fort Sill Apache Tribe was awarded an $800,000 grant from the federal government to help build a 3000 square foot convenience store and fuel station at its property in Akela about 20 miles E of Deming and 30 miles W of Las Cruces along Interstate 10. The tribe plans to pitch in additional revenue toward the project; the exact amount hasn’t been finalized, but it could range up to $1.5 million or more, according to a tribal official. The Fort Sill Apache Tribe are descendants of the Chiricahua Apache Tribe whose leaders include Cochise and Geronimo. I've visited the Chiricahua and Cochise Mountains - worth checking out and great American history!

In April 2023 the new Valero gas station at the Akela Flats exit along I-10.

 

Las Cruces, population 101,759, is a beautiful city and the county seat for Dona Ana and the 2nd largest city in New Mexico. It sits 60 miles E of Deming and 40 miles N of of El Paso, Texas. I spent some time on their Economic Development website and see they have quite a bit planned for the future including renovating the Las Cruces airport for daily regional commercial flights and a commuter rail to El Paso. The federal government is the major employer with the nearby White Sands Test Facility and White Sands Missile Range. I’ve met several people who work for US Customs and commute daily from Las Cruces to the Columbus border crossing 35 miles south of Deming.
