Power & Water:

These properties are mostly off grid, with no available utilities. If electricity is nearby a given property, that will be mentioned in the listing. You will need a water well if you are going to build a residence. This area is in the Mimbres River Water Basin, which makes it a promising area for wells. Local well drillers can provide more information.

½ acre lots may now be buildable! Properties that are too small for a conventional septic system may now be buildable using advanced treatment systems or other options. To determine whether a property smaller than ¾ of an acre can qualify for a residential build, please consult a liquid waste professional regarding the specific property that you are considering for purchase. The New Mexico Environment Department can advise you. You will need a water well if you are not connected to a municipal water supply, and this is possible with a ½ acre lot if conditions are right for a water well and for an advanced treatment system. You may also be able to use a well jointly with another landowner. For more information specific to Luna County, you can call the county building and planning department. If you are looking for a place to camp or park an RV, this would not affect you except that your property might now be more valuable.
