Location And Size

Rio Grande Estates is located just south of Belen off of Highway 60 in the shadows of the Manzano Mountains. Situated just forty miles south of Albuquerque, this master-planned subdivision was platted out and pinned back in the 1960'S with the vast majority of the region subdivided into one acre parcels.

The subject property is a 5 acre lot located in the north eastern most part of the subdivision in Unit 33. This Unit is one of only three in the entire Rio Grande Estates subdivision where the parcels are larger than 1 acre in size, which means that owning this lot will give you almost five times as much land as the vast majority of property owners in the region.

Access & Utilities

Roads & Access: The subject property is located along Hernandez Street in the northeastern most part of the subdivision. The roads in this region are well-maintained and can be navigated by any vehicle type. This is especially true if approaching the subject property from Veguita in the north instead of Highway 60 in the south (less ground to cover).

Power & Utilities: While the neighboring property boasts a developed home site, the nearest residential power lines are more than a mile west of the subject property in the more built up part of the subdivision that begins just east of Veguita. Because of this, anyone looking to develop the land is encouraged to investigate alternative forms of power such as solar panels. Anyone curious to investigate the cost involved in getting power extended to the subject property is encouraged to contact Pnm, the local utility servicing this region.

Zoning & Restrictions

Zoning: Socorro County has no formal zoning ordinance, and per their own government website "does not restrict the use of real property" within the county boundaries.

This fact alone makes the area ideal for anyone with an RV who's looking for land they can vacation to, camp on, or park and live on for lengthy periods of time without being disturbed by local constables enforcing zoning ordinances. This also makes the area fitting for other types of "unconventional" dwellings such as earth ship homes, tiny homes and shipping container homes, typically difficult to get permitted elsewhere.

No Hoa: Rio Grande Estates has no HOA and there are no annual dues associated with land ownership.

Covenants, Conditions & Restrictions: In addition to having no Hoa, Rio Grande Estates has no covenants, conditions or restrictions (Ccrs) recorded with the County. This means there are no subdivision restrictions on land use either.

Disclosure: Prospective buyers are encouraged to keep in mind that while Socorro County has no formal zoning and the subdivision has no recorded restrictions, land in this region will still be subject to state-wide laws, building codes and environmental regulations. This is especially true as it pertains to how waste is disposed of and wells are drilled and installed. The NM EPA oversees septic permits and the State Engineer is responsible for well permits and are two organizations you or your contractor will deal with eventually. State regulations aside, however, Socorro County remains one of the most ideal places in New Mexico for developing land with as few ordinances to conform to as possible.
