Military Highway, Rio Communities, NM 87002 - Valencia County

You don’t buy land like this on impulse.

You choose it because it fits where you’re going.

This 1-acre property, made up of two adjoining half-acre lots, sits in a quiet area of Valencia County with open desert views and the Manzano Mountains nearby. It’s peaceful without feeling cut off — the kind of place that supports long-term plans, not rushed decisions.

The land is flat, usable, and correctly sized for someone thinking about off-grid living. It meets county requirements for building, including the future installation of a well and septic, so your plans aren’t theoretical — they’re allowed.

Access matters when you’re doing this seriously.

This property is reached via county-maintained roads, making visits, deliveries, and future development far more practical than many remote parcels in the area.

Because the acre is split into two adjoining parcels, you gain flexibility most listings don’t offer. Build on one and keep the other open. Hold both for privacy. Or sell one later if your needs or finances change. You’re not locked into a single path.

Temporary camping or RV use is allowed, and manufactured or modular homes are permitted, giving you the freedom to move at your own pace while you plan next steps.

You’re close enough to stay grounded:

Belen is about 20 minutes away for groceries and supplies

Los Lunas is roughly 35 minutes

Albuquerque is about one hour north

Outdoor access and quiet trails are nearby in the Manzano Mountains

This isn’t land for everyone.

It’s for someone who wants control, clarity, and time.

I’m open to working with you on a financing plan that fits your situation and timeline. No pressure, no rigid structure — just a conversation about what works.

Properties that combine clean title, legal access, buildable zoning, and real flexibility don’t last long, even when they’re understated.

If this feels aligned with what you’re building toward, let’s talk.
