We merged a few photos together to show the view to the northeast. There are semis traveling down the interstate and a group of trailers along the frontage road a few blocks away.

The Estancia Ranchettes is a very easy subdivision to locate about 33 miles east of Albuquerque and six miles east of the town of Moriarty off of Interstate 40. The infamous Clines Corner on Route 66 is about 15 minutes east down the interstate. It is a large subdivision with a few residents sprinkled about, but for the most part remains undeveloped. There are stunning sunsets of the Sandia Mountains to the West! Sandia is Spanish for watermelon and represents the beautiful reddish colors of the sunsets over the mountains.

This lot sits very close to the beginning of the subdivision thats just to the south of the interestate close to where the exit ramp is off of Interstate 40. It is close to the exit where the hotel/bar/restaurant are at as seen in the maps above and photos below. All of the pictures were taken on a previous visit only three blocks to the northwest as seen in the parcel map link. We have not had a chance to view this property and the pictures should be an excellent representation of the property and roads in the subdivision and you can actually see this property as well in the photos looking to the southeast.

There are pretty views of the treed hills from the north to the northeast. The Sandia Mountains can be seen from the southwest all the way up to the northwest! There are a few farms to the west. There is a nice home to the southeast. Lots of trailers along the county road to the north. The traffic along the interstate to the northeast can be seen. It is fairly flat with a gentle slope. It is very nicely covered in grass and low shrubs. There is power five blocks north at Martinez but it also looks like there might be power closer as the aerial photos show a home one block north. Pueblo is an excellent graded and graveled road at the end of the block to the west and there is a dirt road running along the south.

They each have already been subdivided so if you decide to keep one acre for yourself and sell or gift the other one acre you will have no additional paperwork to do! They can be split apart into two separate parcels simply by filing a deed. We prefer to not split them apart for those of you who appreciate the privacy of 2 acres! Enjoy! Char the Explorer!

Excellent graveled road that runs just to the west of the property at the end of the block!

There are pretty trees on the hills to the northeast!

This is the bar/hotel at the exit off the interstate to the northwest.

AREA AND SUBDIVISION INFORMATION:

A couple of REAL cowboys I met out in Cline's Corner!

Update June 2009: We stopped out at Clines Corner along Route 66, just east of Moriarty, and I saw two cowboys in the restaurant in their spurs and dusty hats. I mentioned to the waitress I sure which I had my camera as it was the first time I had seen cowboys in spurs in a restaurant and she hooked me up. Billy and Jeff were both good sports! Have I mentioned before how much I realllllly like my job?!? : ) We stopped through the Estancia Ranchettes and looked at several parcels of land and saw some of the locals with their new babies!

We drove by where the new racino site is to be but didn't see anything yet. One of the locals told me they had heard there was a delay due to a pipeline through the property and I read a newspaper article that discusses this obstacle as well. The article discusses the solutions being tossed around. It says the Moriarty Mayor stated that they had recent contact with the Downs consulting engineer in preparation with a meeting with the former governor to discussing stimulus funding for the infrastructure improvements and that their engineer is planning like it's going to happen. So it appears that things aren't moving along as quickly as expected but it's still out there. I will continue to keep my eyes and ears open on this one! Once a land deal is signed it could take up to 12 months to have it up and running in Moriarty.

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 roaming about.

June 2008 Update - Approved Move Of Albuquerque Downs To Moriarty: By a unanimous 5-0 vote, the New Mexico Racing Commission at the end of May, 2008 gave the Downs of Albuquerque permission to relocate its horse racing track and casino to Moriarty. The plan is to build a new, $65 million racetrack and casino, expanding the number of slot machines to 715. Horse racing and slots could be operating in Moriarty by late next year. I am looking forward to watching it happen!

March 2008 Update - Edgewood Wal-Mart: The new Wal-Mart in Edgewood opened Friday March 7th 2008! The store, 30 miles east of Albuquerque and about ten miles northwest of Moriarty, is a 212,000 square foot store. We had a chance to explore the Moriarty area again here in June 2008 and swung through Edgewood which is about ten miles west down the interstate towards Albuquerque and saw the new Wal Mart parking lot full. It was so busy we had to wait a bit to get back out on to the main drag. It really is amazing watching how quickly this area has grown. We also stopped by to see if we could see any signs of the new racino but didn't see anything yet. We will keep posting updates as we see them. The highlight of the day was the antelope that marked their territory!

May 2007 Update: The owner of the Downs at Albuquerque New Mexico asked the state racing commission to move the track to a new site in Moriarty at the NE4 of the junction of I40 and SR41. The proposal to build a new facility includes a hotel, racetrack, casino and entertainment venue. If you have been looking to invest in land in a growing area I encourage you to research this area and read about the growth in the greater Albuquerque area! You will be hard pressed to find a better price on an acre of land so close to the growth!!!

Edgewood is about 16 miles west of the entrance to this subdivision!

This is the proposed spot for the new "Racino" just off Interstate 40 and what currently sits on the opposite side of the freeway exit!

Some of the locals we saw in the north part of the Estancia Ranchettes about six miles east of Moriarty. The antelope was pretty funny - watched us closely - ran a bit - stopped and marked their territory - then took off again - really showed us who was boss!!

We stopped in Albuquerque for the New Mexico State Fair in September 2008, where the Downs is currently at:

Beautiful sunsets over the Sandia Mountains. Albuquerque sits on the other side. Sandia is Spanish for watermelon - the color the Sandia's turn at sunset!

The Sandias during the day. Moriarty sits in the distance and Edgewood in the far distance at the bottom of the Sandias. Albuquerque sits just on the other side!

ADDITIONAL STATE INFORMATION:

New Mexico's new liquid waste regulations went into effect in September of 2005. These regulations will provide the highest quality to the environment and was greatly needed with the drought situations over the years. Smile4u Inc greatly encourages you to research the new regulations to understand what you will be allowed to do with your property. We have not researched the ground to depth water in any of the areas we sell land in. If the property does not meet the new standards for conventional septic systems, other ideas to research are: installing complete retention systems such as holding tanks, waiting till public utilities are provided in the street, or to purchase an adjoining property. The new regulations for undeveloped lots platted before February 1st, 1990 require at least 3/4 of an acre for a conventional septic system and 3/4 of an acre in areas with depth to ground water 100 feet or less. There are sunset provisions that allow a 3-5 year period for you to install using the old guidelines. After the sunset period is over you will need to comply with the new regulations. If you would like to see a copy of the new regulations that we obtained from the State please Click Here. We also have information we can email you if you would like to research retentions systems. We actually came across a subdivision in Kansas a few years ago that had several hundred properties that all were required to use holding tanks so don't be afraid to think outside the box!
