Residential Land for Sale in Rio Communities, New Mexico

Well-Situated Off-Grid Friendly 0.9-Acre -- Legal Roads, No HOA

Not everyone looking at land is ready to build tomorrow. Some are simply looking for the right place to begin.

This quiet 0.9-acre lot in Rio Grande Estates, just east of Belen, offers that kind of starting point -- flat ground, open sky, and the kind of stillness that makes it easier to think clearly about what you want next. It's zoned residential, meets the county requirement for septic, and sits in an area where off-grid homes are already taking shape. No HOA. No pressure. Just space you can step onto, walk, and picture at your own pace.

If you've been waiting for land that gives you room to decide -- not land that forces a fast decision -- this may be worth a closer look.

The land is flat, buildable, giving you real options when you're ready. Site-built homes, manufactured homes, and mobile homes are all permitted here. No build deadlines. No pressure to decide everything at once.

If you're not ready to build yet, that's okay. Camping and RV use are allowed up to 180 days per year and camping while constructing a home is also permitted. Many buyers here take a gradual approach -- spending time on the land, learning the area, and letting plans unfold naturally.

Access is straightforward. You reach the property via S. Navajo Loop, followed by a dirt road that leads directly to the lot. The setting feels private and peaceful, but you're not isolated. Rio Communities is 15 minutes away, Belen 20 minutes, and Albuquerque is under an hour all offering groceries, healthcare, education, dining and services. The property is located just west of the Manzano Mountains with plenty of walking, hiking and other recreation options close by.

Rio Grande Estates has become especially popular with people seeking off-grid and low-impact living, and several nearby parcels have recently been purchased by buyers with similar goals. It's a place where intentional living feels normal, not extreme.

The title is clear and transferred via warranty deed.

The land sits outside the flood zone.

Owner financing is available, and I'm open to designing a payment plan that fits your needs and comfort level. Whether you're ready to move quickly or want to take a thoughtful first step, the process can stay simple and human.

If this feels like the kind of space you've been quietly looking for, reach out with any questions. I'm happy to walk you through the details and help you understand if this land fits your plans, and dreams.
