Residential Land for Sale in Belen, New Mexico

This 0.9-acre parcel sits in Rio Grande Estates, east of Belen, where the desert opens up and things move at a slower pace. The ground is flat. The sky feels wide. And when you stand there, it's easy to imagine different possibilities without feeling rushed into one.

The lot is zoned residential and meets the county's 0.75-acre requirement for septic installation. Site-built homes, manufactured homes, and mobile homes are all allowed. You can build when you're ready -- not when someone else tells you to.

Not ready to build yet? That's fine too.

Camping and RV use are permitted up to 180 days per year. You can also camp while building with the proper permit. Many owners here take that gradual approach -- spend time on the land, understand the seasons, and let their plans grow naturally.

There's no HOA. No design committee. No deadlines.

Access is simple. You take S. Navajo Loop on maintained roads, then a dirt road that leads directly to the property. It feels peaceful and removed -- but not cut off. For groceries, healthcare and services Rio Communities and Belen are 15-20 minutes away, and fast-developing Los Lunas is only a 30-minute drive. Albuquerque is under an hour for everything you might need from a big city.

The Manzano Mountains sit nearby, offering hiking and open space that reminds you why you chose land in the first place.

Rio Grande Estates has steadily drawn people who prefer a quieter, lower-impact way of living. Off-grid homes are not unusual here. Solar setups, simple builds, and intentional use of space fit naturally into the landscape. It doesn't feel experimental -- it feels normal.

The title is clean and conveyed by warranty deed, the property sits outside the flood zone, and property taxes are only $5 per year.

This property is available for a discounted cash price if you're looking for immediate ownership, or owner financing if you'd like to spread out payments. Whether you're planning carefully or ready to move forward, the process can stay straightforward and clear.

If you've been looking for land that gives you space -- not pressure -- this could be a good fit.
