PROPERTY INFORMATION
1 acre cheap land for sale 45 minutes E of Albuquerque, New Mexico in Moriarty on a graveled road with power about 3 acres away. The Estancia Ranchettes are located six miles east just off of Interstate 40 which runs through the subdivision. Historic old Route 66 runs parallel along the interstate right thru the Estancia Ranchettes! I saw one of the largest herds of antelope I've seen in my life roaming just south of the property when we viewed it! It’s by Edgewood and Cline's Corner in Torrance County, NM.

All of the photos were taken of the property and its surrounding views in March 2015. Side Winder is one of the main graveled road that runs along the north of the property and continues a few acres further east to the landfill. It is a clean area though and I did not see or smell anything.

The property is mostly flat with a slope from the east to the west. It’s covered in a grassy vegetation with a few native plants scattered about. There wasn't any traffic other than us during the 30 minutes we were on this road that weekend. So if you don’t mind the landfill sitting on the other side of the hill it’s a great price for an acre of land with excellent access and power very close!

There are a few shallow graveled ditches to divert the water off Side Winder and one of them runs thru the property as seen in the photos and aerials. I believe that you can remove this from the property since it is private property but there is still plenty of room for building or RV if you didn’t as it’s just a few feet wide as seen in the photos. There is power sitting about 3 acres NE along this road.

There was a smaller herd of antelope grazing west along Side Winder and I included photos of those 15 or so antelope out enjoying the early morning sunshine. We then headed south to Santa Fe Road and wow did I spot antelope there, one of the largest I’ve seen in my life! They came across the prairie from the SE to the NW with the big buck crossing under the fence first. He then stood point guard as the other antelope ducked under the fence quickly racing away. Once the last one crossed they both raced away! Wow was that a fabulous sight!

I wondered why so many of them had horns and learned that about 40% of the females have horns that don't get any longer than their ears. The buck's horns are up to 15 inches long and have the distinctive prong on the front which gave the species its name. Another difference between males and females is the black patch on the jaw below the eye of the males.

To the north are pretty views of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains! They are way in the distance by Santa Fe and are the southernmost sub range in the Rocky Mountains. From the NW to the SW are the Sandia and Manzano Mountains. Sandia is Spanish for watermelon and represents the beautiful reddish color of the sunsets over these mountains.

The Sandia-Manzano Mountains are a substantial mountain area that defines the eastern edge of the middle Rio Grande valley of central New Mexico. Their elevation changes provide recreational opportunities including winter skiing and cool summer hiking. The entire mountain chain comprises two parts, the Sandia Mountains to the north, and the Manzano Mountains to the south, separated by Tijeras Canyon, through which runs Interstate 40, following the path of historic U.S. Route 66.

Interstate 40 and Historic Route 66 run through the Estancia Ranchettes and there is an off ramp at exit 197 on the west side. It a rural area with a few residents sprinkled about and for the most part remains undeveloped with plenty of privacy! It was subdivided years ago and there are no covenants or home owners association and cheap taxes. It has plenty of sunshine, fabulous sunsets, and a quick hours drive to the big city if you have to go!

Cline's Corner is a cute famous stop along Old Route 66 down the road 15 minutes east and I have enjoyed a few lunches at the cafe and they have a great little gift shop. When I stopped by in January 2014 they were moving dirt and I was told they were going to put in a new truck stop there. And I took another photo of me with the totem pole I think is beautiful! I included a photo of me and my sister standing in front of their totem pole as well some real cowboys I met there a few years. It’s a fun place and reflective of the rural cowboy and Indian country this part of New Mexico is!

The area reminds me of the start of the Great Plains. I read that it sits on the very western edge of the Llano Estacado, aka the Staked Plain, one of the largest mesas / tablelands in North America. Once referred to as the Great American Desert, colonial times found people passing by this area seeking better land further west. By the mid-19th century, people had begun settling here as they realized it was well suited for farming as large portions of the region sit atop one of the world's largest underground reservoirs, the Ogallala Aquifer.

The region is a cold semi-arid climate with long hot summers and cold winters and low rainfall. It’s made up of grassland and mesas and lots of playa lakes that seasonally fill up after a thunderstorm, but rains don’t come frequently. These ponds are important habitat for waterfowl and pronghorn and deer are often found around these ponds. I spotted a few herds of antelope in the past in the Estancia Ranchettes and two of the largest herds I've ever seen in my life in March 2015! Wow was that ever amazing and stunning to see! They raced across the prairie putting on quite the show!

I think this is a great price for an acre in the country side with excellent access, power close and you can watch the antelope roam! Enjoy! Char the Explorer : )

Torrance County Estancia Ranchettes Stock

Torrance County, Moriarty and The Valley of the Estancia Ranchettes Photos

 

 

Torrance County, population 15,302, sits in the middle of New Mexico and is part of the Albuquerque Metropolitan Statistical area. Most of the county is primarily gently-rolling grassland ranging from 6000 to 6200 feet in elevation. The Manzano Mountains rising to 10,098 feet on the western edge of the county.

It's one of the most productive agricultural counties in the United States producing pinto beans, corn, hay, cattle, nursery crops and vegetables. It enjoys commercial development brought by Interstate 40 and is one of the fastest growing counties in the state.

It boasts of the longest stretch remaining of Old Route 66 “The Mother Road” in the heart of New Mexico. It has attracted a wide variety of business enterprises to the region. Tagawa Greenhouses in Estancia has 20 acres of growing space. Award-winning Sierra Blanca Brewery came to Estancia Valley in 2007 to meet their growth needs when it was time to expand. Other thriving industries include the El Cabo wind project, Single Action Shooting Society (SASS), Lonesome Wind Renewables, Wal-Mart, Walgreens, Holy Energy, and numerous aviation, agriculture, energy, retail and service businesses.

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.

Moriarty sits at the Junction of I40 and Hwy 41  It’s centrally located 35 E of Albuquerque and 56 miles S of Santa Fe. Edgewood is about 10 minutes west of Moriarty and its population grew 88% from 2000 to 2010 and it opened a Wal-Mart in 2008.

Estancia, the Torrance County seat, is a small rural town of about 1600 people. In addition to the county offices and Sheriff’s Office, it offers a post office, grocery store, Dollar Store, gas stations, restaurants, and the Estancia Schools as well as the necessary fire, police and Emergency Medical Services. It’s surrounded by an agricultural community that has been the foundation of the Town for more than 100 years. Ranching and farming industries remain strong influences to the flavor of life in the Estancia Valley and well as key contributing economic factors in the area.

Cline's Corner is a cute famous stop along Old Route 66 E of Moriarty and I have enjoyed a few lunches at the cafe and they have a great little gift shop. I included a photo of me and my sister standing in front of their totem pole and some real cowboys a few years ago out front! Fun place indeed and it is reflective of the rural cowboy and Indian country this part of New Mexico is!

The Sandia Mountains are to the NW and the Manzano Mountains are to the SW. There are stunning sunsets over the Sandia Mountains, meaning watermelon, which Spanish explorers named because they likened the color the mountainside turns at sunset! Sandia Pueblo Indians called the mountain Bien Mur, "big mountain". W of the Sandia Mountains is Albuquerque and the interstate quickly takes you thru the mountains to the big town!

The Sandia-Manzano Mountains are a substantial mountain area that defines the eastern edge of the middle Rio Grande valley of central New Mexico. Their elevation changes provide recreational opportunities including winter skiing and cool summer hiking.

nd I have sure seen some pretty big herds of antelope here! In March 2015, I spotted two huge herds of antelope in the Estancia Ranchettes. Wow was that ever amazing and stunning to see! The first group was on the far east side by Units 6 & 7. They raced across the prairie putting on quite the show! They stopped to duck under the highest point in the fence line with the big buck standing guard until the last one passed between us! I've seen this several times now in the wild when seeing antelope, deer, elk and horses. AWESOME!

 

 

 

Here's there herd I saw at the bottom of the subdivision in unit 7A. This is one of the largest herds I’ve ever seen in my life and can only think of one larger in Elko, Nevada years ago! I wondered why so many of them had horns and learned that about 40% of the females have horns that don't get any longer than their ears. The buck's horns are up to 15 inches long and have the distinctive prong on the front which gave the species its name. Another difference between males and females is the black patch on the jaw below the eye of the males.
