If you've been searching for land that feels open and peaceful but still connected, this property strikes that perfect balance.
The land features flat, usable terrain, making it ideal for building a ranch-style home, barns, corrals, or fenced pastures.

The wide-open layout allows you to design the property exactly how you want, whether that includes livestock areas, gardening space, or room for future expansion.
This property is located within the Tierra Grande subdivision, where neighboring homes and parcels are already developed, giving the area a stable and established feel while still preserving the open character ranchers appreciate.

The subdivision does include a Homeowners Association, which helps protect property values and maintain the overall appearance of the community.
Location is another major advantage. You're just 16 minutes from the town of Belen, where you'll find grocery stores, schools, medical services, restaurants, and supply shops. Even better, Rio Communities Boulevard is less than a mile away, providing smooth access to main roads while allowing the property itself to remain quiet and rural. This makes the land ideal for full-time ranch living without feeling isolated or inconvenient.
Imagine mornings spent tending animals under wide New Mexico skies, afternoons working the land, and evenings watching the sunset stretch across your acreage. With 8.42 acres, you have the freedom to create a working ranch, a hobby farm, or a peaceful country retreat built around self-sufficiency and space.
