1 Acre of Residential Land for Sale in Rio Communities, New Mexico

1 Acre in Rio Communities - Simple Access Through S. Navajo Loop & Cleared for Septic

If you are looking to build a custom residential project without navigating years of county development delays, this double lot 1-acre property in Rio Communities offers an immediate, permit-ready solution. By combining two adjacent half-acre lots, this parcel completely clears the local 0.75-acre minimum acreage restriction required for septic installation. Featuring flat, highly usable topography, dual-sided road access, and clear views of the Manzano Mountains, this versatile acreage is ideal for a permanent home, manufactured layout, or immediate seasonal RV staging.

Convenient Access

Logistics are remarkably straightforward. The property is located just off S. Navajo Loop, a maintained county road, with a short, easily navigable dirt road leading directly to the lot. Because this is a combined double lot, it features rare dual-access from opposite sides. This layout gives you the perfect balance: quick proximity to a main county thoroughfare for easy driving, plus maximum flexibility when positioning a driveway, home, or RV layout.

Zoning & Development Parameters
