1 acre parcel of land in New Mexico for sale 40 minutes S of Albuquerque has power about 500 feet away in the Rio Grande Estates. It’s about ten minutes west of Interstate 25 and 5 miles east of the Rio Grande River by Belen and Los Lunas in Socorro County. The bottom of the subdivision is bordered by the Sevilleta National Wildlife Refuge and there are pretty views of the Manzano Mountains and the Cibola National Forest. There are minimal zoning restrictions allowing for a home, mobile home or RV.

All of the photos were taken in May and October 2007 at Unit 1 Block 77 Lot 11 and Unit 2 Block 104 Lot 9 and their surrounding views. I included photos taken at Sevilleta National Wildlife Refuge which adjoins the subdivision to the south, the blooming flowers in the Rio Grande Estates and cute sheep out grazing in May 2007. I have not had a chance to view this property but they should be an excellent representation of the property and surrounding views as you can see this property in some of the photos as well.

The property has an intermittent stream thru the north of the property and the previous owner said he had seen water flowing on it before but it did not cover the whole area. I thought that was cool. I played with Google Earth a bit and it seems like there is an elevation change of about 3 feet in the stream. The aerial photos shows the road goes all the way north up Garcia but the parcel map shows the road really doesn't go thru and I imagine that people have driven it over the years though.

There are a few homes scattered in the adjoining blocks to the south along Campos Avenue and power runs along this road as well which is about 500 feet to the south. We highlighted this in one of the aerial photos. The main roads in the subdivision are graveled/dirt roads and the side streets are mostly overgrown bladed roads. This is a corner lot and it looks like in the aerial photos the road along the east is in but the road along the south is overgrown. You certainly see all different sorts of building out here because of the minimal zoning restrictions and some of them need cleaned up. But it is a very affordable!

The Rio Grande Estates sit on the valley floor and for the most part it is flat with a bit of scattered sagebrush and grass. From the NE to the SE is a beautiful big long view of the Manzano Mountains where you will find part of the Cibola National Forest. She is so close by you can see the trees that are at the top of her peaks and in her lower foothills. To the west there are peaks of the mesa that rises above the Rio Grande River in the distance. To the south across the other side of highway 60, Black Butte pops up out of the valley floor adding more things to look at!

Across the other side of the valley from the NW to the SW are the Sierra Ladrones with Ladron Peak at 9,210 feet. She towers almost 4,500 feet above the Rio Grande Valley! Part of the range is included in the Sevellita National Wildlife Refuge which sits just below this subdivision as seen in the maps. Animal species include mountain lion, pronghorn, bear, and desert bighorn sheep. I spent a couple hours exploring the part down by the river one day and saw some beautiful wildlife as seen in the area photos.

People seem to keep an eye on me when I have been out here exploring land, waiving at me as they pass by and a few have stopped to see if I needed help. Nice.

There is a large labor force in Los Lunas and Belen that work in Albuquerque and they can now take the Rail Runner into Albuquerque! A few times now I have caught the parking lot full and the train with her cool roadrunner on top! I really enjoy the art on it and read that the name is a play on the state bird the roadrunner.

Many consider this a great place to retire because of the relaxed lifestyle: no lawn to mow unless you plant one, pueblo-style buildings, and year round accessibility to Albuquerque 30 miles away where the International Airport is located.

When asked for a place with minimal zoning restrictions, no landowners association, and RV use this is one of the places I refer people. If you have been looking for an investment piece of property be sure and check this out. You will be hard pressed to find an acre of land this cheap so close to Albuquerque with decent access and power so close! Enjoy! Char the Explorer : )

Socorro County Area and Rio Grande Estates Subdivision Photos

Socorro County Area and Rio Grande Estates Subdivision Photos

All of these photos were taken on our journeys to Socorro County and the Rio Grande Estates subdivision. Socorro County is centrally located in the State of New Mexico. It is bordered to the north by Valencia County and the city of Belen which is about 32 miles S of Albuquerque sits just to the north of the county line. The county seat is the the city of Socorro which is located further south along the Rio Grande River, an hour south of Albuquerque and two hours north of Las Cruces. Belen is in a valley nestled against the Manzano Mountains on the east, and Mesas on the west. This is a growing area and in February 2007 completed the commuter rail service between Albuquerque and Belen. There is a large labor force in Los Lunas and Belen that work in Albuquerque and they can now take the Rail Runner into Albuquerque! Many consider this a great place to retire because of the relaxed lifestyle: no lawn to mow unless you plant one, pueblo-style buildings, and year round accessibility to Albuquerque 30 miles away where the International Airport is located. The City of Belen's population is currently about 7000. They have an average annual rainfall of 10 inches per year and snowfall of 11 inches and many people consider the climate ideal. The daytime high temperatures are in the low 90's in the summer months and daytime high temperatures are in the 50's in the winter months . The temperatures do fall below freezing during the winter months but the snow quickly melts. With such wonderful weather conditions area offers an abundance of recreational activities. The majestic Manzano Mountains, encompassing 36,970 acres, and the Cibola National Forest both provide unlimited opportunities for hiking trails, hunting, horseback riding, backpacking, camping etc. Across the valley to the SW of Belen is the Sierra Ladrones which lies between the Rio Puerco to the east and the Rio Salado to the southwest. The highest peak is Ladron Peak at 9,210 feet and her summit is almost 4500 feet above the Rio Grande Valley! Part of the range is included in the Sevellita National Wildlife Refuge. Animal species include mountain lion, pronghorn, bear and desert bighorn sheep Belen also offers recreational swimming, soccer, volleyball, and tennis as well. Terra Del Sol Golf Course, considered an executive course, is an 18 hole course with dining open to the public. It is home to the National Radio Astronomy Observatory and New Mexico Tech. There has been quite a bit of growth to the north of this county in the Belen and Los Lunas areas and the location of these communities from Albuquerque makes it inevitable.
