Legal Information
When we speak of property we typically use an address -- 123 Main Street for instance.
As most vacant land does not have a physical address, however, county governments will identify it in other ways, such as a "legal description", a parcel number or a tax code. The information provided in the table to the right are the ways in which the various state and county agencies will identify this specific parcel of land. These signifiers are important to have when speaking with these agencies - whether they be the assessor, the zoning office, or even the local utilities - and may prove invaluable when initiating conversations about whatever research a buyer intends to do.
Whenever one exists or has been assigned to the land, the physical address will be included in this table.

Access & Utilities
Roads & Access: While this property is located in a region situated close to the frontage roads that feed into the I-25, it is still a couple hundred yards removed from the nearest paved road. And even though there are residences along Clovis Drive, it is ultimately composed of dirt and sand. Because of this, anyone scouting the property is advised to take a larger truck or off-road capable vehicle.
Power & Utilities: Power lines can be found running throughout Sausalito Estates including along Clovis Drive and servicing nearby developed home sites such as the house on the neighboring lot. Because of this it should be both easy and affordable to get power connected to whatever you decide to build on the land. Anyone looking to investigate the cost and logistics of getting connected to the grid is encouraged to contact PNM, the utility company servicing this region.

Zoning & Restrictions
Zoning: Sausalito Estates and this particular property are in a region zoned RR-1 or Rural Residential 1, a designation which is "intended to accommodate rural residential development at an anticipated magnitude or density level that does not require more than a very basic level of services, such as single local-road access, individual domestic wells and septic tank sewage-disposal systems and rural fire protection..." This designation allows for everything from single family residences to mobile and modular homes and some farming uses. Anyone looking to familiarize themselves with the RR-1 zoning designation is encouraged to read this PDF which is an excerpt from the Valencia County Zoning Ordinance.
Zoning, More: Some notable provisions in the RR-1 zoning designation include: RVs may not be used as a principle dwelling but only during construction of the principle dwelling or with certain conditional use permits; maximum building height for dwellings is 30 feet while other structures can be 45 feet; livestock may be kept on a property but only when the property has been fenced; number of livestock per property is specific to the square footage of the land and the type of animal; lots may be subdivided to no less than one acre in size.

The Hemingway Land Company does our best to represent the properties we list as accurately as possible. Our research, however, will always be limited.
Because of this, included in the table to the right is a list of the relevant state and county governments, agencies and authorities as well as local utilities (and all their respective websites and contact information) which should help to answer any questions a buyer may have about developing this specific property.
Whenever possible it is best to speak with these agencies first as they will always be a far greater source of information about the local region and the regulations which govern it.

Nearby Towns
Nearby Towns: Because of its close proximity to both Belen as well as Los Lunas, the Rancho Rio Grande subdivision has easy access to groceries and supplies as well as big box stores such as Walmart and Home Depot. Additionally, plenty of fast food restaurants, gas stations, post offices, banks, medical facilities and other daily necessities can be found within easy driving distance of this region. Furthermore, Albuquerque, the largest city in the state, is just a quick thirty minute drive north along the I-25 and is likely to have whatever product or service you can't procure in Belen or nearby Los Lunas.
Commuting To Albuquerque: As noted, the largest and most populous city in the state is just a half hour drive north along the highway. Because of this, this region and the surrounding areas are sometime referred to as "bedroom communities" of the neighboring Albuquerque Metro Area. It should be noted, however, that for anyone looking to work in the city while living out here, who does not enjoy fighting rush hour traffic on the highway, the Rio Metro Rail Line may be a welcome alternative as it provides regular transportation between Belen and as far north as Santa Fe on a daily basis.
