PROPERTY INFORMATION

1/2 acre land for sale in Rio Rancho Estates in New Mexico between Albuquerque and Santa Fe, NM. It is the third largest and fastest growing city in New Mexico. It sits four units SW of the new city center all the way on the west side of Rio Rancho.

We have not had a chance to view this property and all of the photos were taken in February 2007 only one block to the east and one street south as seen in the parcel map. This property is located on the west side of the city in the middle about three units SW of the newer city center. It is as far west as you can go by the new proposed city, Rio West. There are a few homes scattered about in this unit but for the most part it remains undeveloped.

There are great views of the long range of the Sandia Mountains from the NE to the SE. There was quite a bit of snow when we visited in February 2007. There are plenty of wide open views in all directions and lots of privacy! I could also see the Jemez Mountains that sit to the north of Rio Rancho.

I played with google earth a bit and there has been some growth in this area. About 1/2 of a mile to the north you can see some sort of utility station. There are also a few houses sprinkled about the area. My photos show a few trailers and power strung thru the area as well. There is power transmission lines that run north and west just west of 60th street and it looks like that newer power station might tie in to that. Hmmm...interesting!

You can see in the subdivision map a thick black line that runs north to south thru unit 12 three units to the east. This is the current city limits and this property sits about 3.5 miles west of the current city limits.

If you are new to Rio Rancho I really encourage you to take a moment and read about the growth I have observed since I started investing in land here in early 2000's. You will find quite a bit of information on the area photos themselves. I have really seen this place take off since I started exploring land here - incredible growth. And I still see the infrastructure growing even in this slow economy.

We have other inventory that we own in this area so feel free to ask us about what else we own if you want to spend time digging through our inventory. I am often asked for land a bit off the beaten path outside the city limits of Rio Rancho for people seeking a place to build as well as cheap investment lots. This property fills both those shoes! Enjoy! Char the Explorer : )

We are offering 90 days same as cash owner financing with zero down.

We are also offering zero down financing at $4,400 @ 8% interest with approximately 52 monthly payments of $100.

PROPERTY MAPS

Property Maps

We have supplied several maps to assist you in locating this property. These maps include approximate GPS Coordinates and Aerial Photos.

Here is a link to the property on Google Maps for those customers who would like to play with it - it's a great tool!

Google Interactive Northeast Corner of this property.

Hint: We suggest you click on the EARTH button in the right hand corner and then use the arrow up button in the left hand corner until you see the blue sky - that gives a great view to play with. You can rotate the compass to get different views showing the mountain ranges, topography, etc.

We have been noticing that Bing Maps sometimes are significantly more clear and detailed in the close up Aerial's. So we have started to include this into our listings as well.

ADDITIONAL PHOTOS

Sandoval County Area and Rio Rancho Subdivision Photos

All of these photos were taken on our journeys to Rio Rancho and Sandoval County!

Rio Rancho sits about 15 miles NW of Albuquerque and 50 miles SW of Santa Fe. It is the third largest and one of the fastest growing cities in New Mexico. It is bordered by Albuquerque to the S, the Santa Ana Indian Reservation to the N, and Bernalillo and Corrales to the E. To the W is the Rio Puerco Basin. It sits high atop a mesa offering stunning views of the Sandia Mountains and Rio Grande River!

At 5,290 feet, the high desert offers year round perfect weather with winter temperatures averaging 49 and summertime averaging 91. There are 330 sunny days a year with 8.2 inches of rainfall. It snows several times during the winter but usually melts the same day.

Anchored by chip maker Intel, other employers include Victoria Secret and Sprint. The Albuquerque International Airport, less than 40 minutes away, offers several major airline choices. New schools, new companies, a 14-screen cinema theater, the list goes on and on.

I have spent the last ten years researching the growth of Rio Rancho and have chronicled quite a bit of this on our county web page and here are some of the highlights:

*In July 2012 the Sandoval Regional Medical Center with its emergency room had their grand opening! This is located at the city center.

*In August, 2011 the Rail Runner commuter train line pulled into Rio Rancho! This train runs between Santa Fe, Rio Rancho, Albuquerque, Los Lunas and Belen.

*In August 2010, the Central New Mexico (CNM) Community College opened at the new city center.

*The first building as part of the University of New Mexico Regional Medical Center opened in January 2010. Once completed, the $200 million facility will house 68 hospital beds and will include an emergency room and surgical center.

*In the fall of 2009, V. Sue Cleveland High School opened - home of the Storms!

*Hewlett Packard Tech Center opened their 218,000 square foot building at the City Center in December 2009.

*The new city hall that opened in 2007.

*In October 2006 the Sandoval County Commissioners approved a master plan for a new city, Rio West, in the Rio Puerco Basin. It covers eighteen square miles of the basin and was estimated to some day be home to some 70,000 people. I read an article from 2010 that discusses the Rio Puerco Desalination Plant and the issue of bringing water to this area. The County and the developer have ended their joint efforts on this project and continuing efforts will be by the developer.

*In the fall of 2006 the Santa Ana Star Center, a major component in the City Center, opened.

We really believe in Rio Rancho as an investment and I still see the infrastructure growing even in this slower economy. Wikipedia has some great information about the growth in Rio Rancho so be sure and check that out as well.
