Very Secluded Beautiful Homesite

These are two adjoining 1/2 acre lots in Luna County, New Mexico. You can combine them to have an approximately 1 acre property. Generally you need at least 3/4 acre to qualify for a building permit with a conventional septic system. They are Lots 3 and 4 in Block 4 of Enchanted Valley Estates, a completely undeveloped subdivision. There are no subdivision restrictions.

As far as we can tell, there is currently nobody living within a mile of these properties. That is one of their main attractions, as well as spectacular views of the Florida Mountains. You will be about 6.3 miles southeast of the Deming exit on Interstate Highway 10; less than 4 miles from the Rockhound State Park Visitors Center; and about 2 miles from the Basin Range Geolapidary Museum.

When these lots were subdivided, their northwest and northeast corners were marked with steel rods.

We have not been to these properties. From satellite mapping we can see that the subdivision’s roads were graded long ago, and are overgrown because nobody has been driving on them. We do not know whether you can drive to these properties with no problem in a pickup or SUV, or whether some road grading would be necessary. You will need to determine access for yourself.

In addition to the usual satellite photos, in the slideshow we also put some Google Street View photos taken in the direction of these properties from several different angles, to give you a feel for the area.

You will be off grid with no available utilities. There is power along the east side of the block, about 700 yards away.

If you are looking for a beautiful secluded spot, this could be perfect for you. You can camp/RV up to 30 days per year while holding them for investment, or you can build your dream off grid home.  For more information on land usage please call the county building and planning department: 575-546-0494. The county's Property ID number for these lots is 0052548.

If you are going to build a residence, you will want to contact the county road department to apply to have the road past your property maintained. The road department works with the county commissioners to inspect candidate roads, and once per year they add roads to be maintained by the county.
