The Florida Mountains to the southeast - a stunning view they are so close by! Rock Hound State Park sits at the bottom of these mountains about four miles to the southeast as the crow flies!

This 1 acre is located in the southwestern part of New Mexico near the town of Deming, about sixty miles east of the Arizona State line. It is onlyb about three miles southeast of the town of Deming and twentyfive miles north of the border of Mexico. Deming is located about 30 miles west of Las Cruces and about halfway between Tucson and El Paso, Texas along Interstate 10. Deming is a small town of about 14,647 and Luna County has a population of about 26,129. Many retirees are drawn to this area because of the affordability of land and the dry arid climate with low humidity.

All of the photos were taken viewing some nearby properties to this in June 2006 and you can actually see this property in some of the photos as well. One set was taken just two blocks to the south and the other set was taken in the next block up to the northeast and you can actually see this property in the photos as well. The aerial photos show there is a home about two lots to the north in the next block and I have identified this photo in the photos as well as some other homes seen to the west in the next block. So you can see there is power very close by! We took some of the photos at the corner of Solano and Ventura Roads and these were graveled roads in excellent shape! I imagine the road along the north of the property is a bladed dirt road like the one two blocks to the south. So these should be easy to locate and only a short ways of dirt road to the property.

The beautiful Florida Mountains and her jagged peaks are only about five miles away to the southeast as the crow flies!  Her view is stunning and up close! : )  There are pretty views of the green valley below the mountain. The terrain is fairly flat, dry with scattered vegetation. The State of New Mexico indicates the average well depth is 95 feet.This would be a great place for someone seeking privacy while enjoying the dry heat of the desert!

This part of the desert offers plenty of sunshine. Located between Tuscon, Arizona and Las Cruces, New Mexico, many retirees are choosing this area to enjoy their golden years at an affordable price.

  This next set of photos was taken two blocks to the south along Azul around lots 12 & 13. You can really see the detail in the peaks of the Florida Mountains!   We merged a few photos together to show you just how long the view of the Florida Mountains is from the east to the southeast - the view is of several miles!                 Beautiful jagged peaks!                 I believe this is the neighbor that sits one block to the north about two lots away it looks like! They have power!!!           I believe these are the homes you see to the west in the aerial photos.

The newly renovated Luna County Court House in Deming, New Mexico. Updates May 2009: Ordinance 37 (Building and Land Use) Lawsuit Challenge is over: I read in the local Deming newspaper that the challenge of Ordinance #37 is now over. The article goes on to state that even though there was no change to the ordinance and that it stands the way it was written, the order clarifies how two half-acre lots that are contiguous maybe be developed with one home on each 1/2 acre if the property owners enter into a binding agreement to share one advanced liquid waste disposal system and one well for the two lots. An individual owning an entire one acre may also develop as long as the proper procedures are followed which includes putting in a particular septic system. Click here for a copy of this ordinance. $11.4 Stimulus Money Heads To Los Lunas Airport: The Albuquerque Journal named some of the projects the federal stimulus program will fund and on that list was $11.4 million to rebuild the longest runway at Las Cruces International Airport which is about 45 minutes east of Deming, New Mexico!

Here are a few day trips I have made myself while visiting this area!   The next group of photos were taken at Chiricahua National Monument in January 2010 which is about a two hours drive to the southwest in Arizona. Beautiful columns of rocks with interesting formations perched on top of them and an abundance of wildlife and birds made for a beautiful afternoon in the wilderness! There was fresh snow up in the mountains and the river was rushing - what a beautiful drive in the desert!                       The artist and retirement community of Bisbee is about three hours southwest of Deming. It's streets are filled with quaint shops, antique stores, restaurants, cafes and art galleries - a fun place to spend the day! The most popular tourist activity is the Queen Mine Tour down into the inactive copper mine. The restored Victorian and European - style homes are perched on the hillside - quite the hike to the top of the stairs!               One of the locals in my friends back yard in Tucson, Arizona!

He has kept a pictorial of his solar home that he is building. I had a chance to view it when I stopped by - really interesting and very pretty! There is a big stone in the middle of the home that they built around that is used for heating and cooling! He goes by Carl the Rock Artist and you will see his artistry in his pictorial as well - check out page 4!

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 02-01-1990 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!
