Quiet desert living on offer near the Manzano Mountains

Located on a loop road within the Tierra Grande subdivision, this land would make a great place to set up your country residence, with space and freedom that few other places can afford.

If you’re dying to get away from it all, this is the place. There’s plenty of “social distance” out here, and yet in 20 minutes you can be back in Belen on a supply-run.

There are few places in the United States where you can own so much land, for so little money invested. And as Belen continues to develop eastward, the value will likely only go up. That’s why we think this is a great long-term investment property to consider.

This property is located with a Land Owner’s Association with covenants to maintain the openness of the landscape, and aesthetic beauty of the properties in the area. Additionally, the Tierra Grande Improvement Association (as it is called), exists to help land-owners by improving roads and culverts, installing fences, extending power lines, building a fire station, etc. The covenants of this association prohibit mobile homes, and there is a minimum roof square footage requirement when building a home of 2,000 sq ft. Smaller dwellings are possible, as long as the roof square footage requirement can be met. Two horses are allowed per 5 acres of land.

Another benefit of owning land in Tierra Grande is that you are part owner of 14,000 acres of pristine Open Space (mountain property) bordering the Manzano Mountains, which are part of the Cibola National Forest. So you have access to trails and canyons for horseback-riding, backpacking, and hiking throughout the open space.

Please don’t hesitate to visit the Tierra Grande Improvement Association website (you can find a link on our listing page) to learn more about the benefits of living in Tierra Grande, as well as the protective covenants that are in place.

The Region

This property is located about an hour south of Albuquerque, NM, and just 20 minutes from Belen. The area is flat and dry, with huge views in all directions. The Manzano Mountains, which are part of Cibola National Forest, loom toward the east, and are ignited by the setting sun every afternoon. Cibola National Forest offers plenty of recreational opportunities that will keep you busy all year long. The stars in this country are so big at night you could reach out and touch them! The wildflowers on the desert plains put on a glorious show every year.

The Neighborhood

The Tierra Grande subdivision is a tranquil place to live. There are a few established homes round about, but for the most part the neighborhood is quiet and very rural. There are covenants in place, to make sure things don’t ever get crazy in this peaceful community. Download the coventants by clicking “Get More Information” above. The covenants allow 2 horses per 5 acres. All of the lots in this subdivision are at least 5 acres, which helps to maintain the open space. Tierra Grande residents also have access to 14,000 acres of prisine open space, including the Abo Arroyo/Canyon and Black Butte, directly to the east of the residential properties. This open space provides opportunities for various outdoor activities, such as hang gliding, atv riding, mountain biking, hiking, climbing, camping, and horseback riding.
