These one acre building lots are located about 40 minutes south of Albuquerque and ten minutes south of Belen just off Interstate 25. Some of the lots adjoining making up to two and three acres! The Rio Grande River flows just to the west and you can see the bosque and mesa above the river in the distance! It is a short drive south of the bustling towns of Belen and Los Lunas. The bottom of the subdivision is bordered by the Sevellita National Wildlife Refuge and the Rio Grande River flows a short ways to the west as seen in the maps and aerial photos.

The properties are in Rio Grande Estates Unit 11 in the northern part of the subdivision. The main roads are graveled that lead to the unit and then there are bladed dirt roads with good access from there. Enough of the streets are marked making it easy to navigate around and many of the blocks are numbered as seen in some of the photos. It is an easy drive and easy to locate as long as you have the right maps. I did not see power in this unit so alternative sources of power would want to be considered.

I picked these lots up at a foreclosure sale and got a fabulous price on them myself! Buddy and I enjoyed exploring out there - it was a warm windy beautiful sunny desert day and I had a fun time. We stopped and chatted with one of the neighbors who was friendly and helpful and the few people that drove by gave friendly waves.

There are pretty views from the NE to the SE of the Manzano Mountains. To the south is a very cool hill and the Sevilleta National Wildlife Refuge actually adjoins this subdivision to the south. I spent a couple hours exploring it one day and saw some beautiful wildlife as seen in the area photos. To the SW across the other side of the valley and Rio Grande River is Ladron Peak. You can also see the rim of the mesa that rises above the Rio Grande River in the distance to the west. You can see a bit of the tops of the trees from some of the lots in this unit - a peaceful setting. There were a few homes sprinkled about this part of the subdivision but still plenty of privacy.

Ladron Peak can be seen to the west. Located in the Sierra Ladrones which lies between the Rio Puerco to the east and the Rio Salado to the southwest, the peak is 9,210 feet and the summit is almost 4500 feet above the Rio Grande Valley! Part of the range is included in the Sevilleta National Wildlife Refuge which sits just below this subdivision! Animal species include mountain lion, pronghorn, bear and desert bighorn sheep.

If you have been looking for an investment piece of property or a place to put a home with minimal restrictions 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!

Enjoy! Char the Explorer : )

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. For more pictures and information from our journeys to this area be sure and click here - Char's own web page of Socorro County!

Socorro County is centrally located in the State of New. 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 abudance 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. 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 Astromony 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.
