We have not had a chance to look at this property yet. All of the photos below were taken in October 2007 about two blocks to the north east when we viewed another property in block 7 lots 30 & 31. We have shown this in the parcel map link below and this should be a good representation of the area.

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.

The Estancia Ranchettes is a very easy subdivision to locate just east of the town of Moriarty off of Interstate 40. It is a large subdivision with a few residents sprinkled about but for the most part remains undeveloped. There are stunning sunsets over the Sandia Mountains to the west! Sandia is spanish for watermelon. The subdivision is gentle rolling hills with scattered sagebrush, native plants and grasses. There are cows, horses and a few antelope roaming about.

The growing town of Moriarty, New Mexico lies approximately 33 miles east of Albuquerque. Moriarty is mostly a ranching and farming community but its close proximity to Albuquerque is making this small town a fast growing community. The vast open undistrubed range is home to farmers, ranchers and wildlife. Torrance County is one of the most productive agricultural counties in the United States producing pinto beans, corn, hay, cattle, nursery crops and vegetables. Today it enjoys commercial development brought by Interstate 40 and is one of the fastest growing counties in the state.

With an elevation of over 6,000 feet it is considered ideal weather by many with only 11.5 inches of precipitation annually. Sunny days abound with mild winter temperatures of 45 degrees to 87 degrees in the summertime. The land is flat with beautiful views of the Sandia Mountains to the north and Manzano Mountains to the south.

All of these photos were taken on our journeys to Torrance County and the Estancia Ranchettes. For more pictures and information from our journeys to this area be sure and click here - Char's own web page of Torrance County!
