PROPERTY INFORMATION

1 acre land for sale about 15 miles S of Deming, New Mexico in the sunny warm desert in Luna County has power less than ¼ mile away! It’s a rural part of the valley with big views of the Florida Mountains and pretty farm crops in the area! It’s about 75 minutes SW of Las Cruces, NM between Tucson, Arizona and El Paso, Texas. All of the photos below were taken in October 2015 of the property and its surrounding views! Oh what a pretty view of the Florida Mountains and her jagged peaks! It’s about a 15 mile pretty drive from town as the crow flies with crops and farms along the way. Sometimes when I visit Deming it is dry and brown and other times this place comes to life after the rains! A few times now I have been so surprised to see the green crops and a few times bright orange pumpkin patches – amazing what the desert can grow when you add some water! Nice! It sits about 5 acres west of Hermanas Grade, the main road that leads from the town of Deming SW down to this part of the valley as seen in the maps. There is power along Hermanas Grade as well so power is less than ¼ of a mile to the east and we showed this in one of the aerial photos as well in the map section. You would have to contact the local power company to find the cost of bringing it to the property. It sits 1 acre east of Ciguena Road which was a gravel/dirt road in good shape so decent access to the property! The Florida Mountains are about 12 miles away from the NE to the SE and there is great details in her rugged rocky peaks. She rises to 7,295 feet at Florida Peak with sunny blue skies above! I have had the chance a few times now to watch the sunset over the Florida Mountains and it is spectacular! To the south are the Tres Hermanas Mountains which sit in the southern part of Luna County. The property sits down on the valley floor with scattered brush, grass and native plants. It is 2 adjoining ½ acre lots totaling 1 acres and we are selling them together. I do believe that keeping these lots together brings a higher value to them although they can be split apart – why would you want to! You do have the right to build on each parcel or put one home on all of it. 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. We included a link at the top to the zoning ordinance to read further regarding manufactured homes and RV. The State of New Mexico well log showed there is 1 well in this same section with water depth of 180 feet. I included a link above to the States website for those that want to view the well log. You can click on the PLSS link and input 03 under section, then click on 26S under township, and 10W under range. Deming is a small town of about 14,647 and Luna County has a population of about 26,129. It’s about 60 miles west of Las Cruces, NM and 33 miles N of the border of Mexico. 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, 18 hole golf course, civic center, public auditorium, schools and a community college. Many retirees are drawn to this area because of the affordability of land and the dry arid climate with low humidity. I often talk to people about the Deming area which sits close to the border of Mexico. Many snowbirds and people with arthritis are drawn to this affordable area seeking the dry arid climate with low humidity. The warm sunshine keeps the swelling and inflammation down and this is something that I can certainly relate to and I'm only 49! The Florida Mountains are home to Rock Hound State Park offering trails, unique geology, wildflower displays, and a peaceful campground. Visitors search for quartz crystals, geodes, jasper, perlite, and many other minerals. If you've been looking for an affordable off grid place in the warm sunny desert to enjoy the sunsets be sure and check these out! Enjoy! Char the Explorer : )

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.
