If you’re looking to make a careful first—or second—move into land investing, this 0.28-acre corner lot in Valencia County, New Mexico offers a simple, understandable starting point.
The parcel sits in the New Mexico high desert, in a quiet area that has seen steady, measured development while still maintaining its open, peaceful character. It's near the Manzano Mountains, with wide skies and desert views that make this part of the county appealing year after year.
At the same time, it's not isolated.
Belen and Los Lunas are within easy driving distance for groceries, supplies, community and services. El Cerro is nearby, and Albuquerque is about 45 minutes away when you need access to the metro area.
One of the strongest features here is access.

This is a corner lot with access on two sides, reached by county-maintained roads, followed by a short, drivable dirt path that leads directly to the property. That kind of access matters, especially when thinking long term.
The property is zoned PD, and camping or RV use is allowed for up to 180 days per year, giving you flexibility while you hold the land. There is no HOA, no required build timeline, and no pressure to make immediate decisions.
Ownership is simple and transparent:
- Clean title, conveyed by warranty deed
- No hidden fees or surprise costs
- Annual property taxes are approximately $5
Both cash and owner financing options are available. I’m open to working with buyers to design financing terms that fit their needs and comfort level, whether that means shorter or longer payment timelines. The goal is a straightforward transaction that feels manageable, not rushed.
This is the type of parcel many buyers choose when they want something tangible and low-stress—land they can hold comfortably, use occasionally, and keep as part of a longer-term plan.
It’s not about big promises.
It’s about clarity, flexibility, and owning something real.
If this feels like the right kind of next step, feel free to reach out with questions or to discuss options. I’m happy to walk through the details with you.
** Next door parcel is also for sale -- together creating a double 0.56 acre corner lot allowing for further flexibility. I'm happy to share further information, and offer special pricing if bought together.
