RV Friendly Land
With Relaxed Zoning
With Relaxed Zoning
- General Location: The Estancia Ranchettes subdivision sits just east of Moriarty and occupies land both to the north and south of the I-40 corridor.
- Legal Access/Road Access: While all properties in this subdivision have legal access, some roads are easier to navigate than others. In general, most roads here are bladed or have been maintained to some degree. The worst road conditions you're likely to find here are simply roads that are overgrown. That said, most all of the subdivision can still be easily accessed and driven. Anyone scouting property here is encouraged to take a larger truck or off-road capable vehicle.
- Building/Camping/RVs: Mobile and modular homes can be built in this region and RVs are acceptable for ninty days at a time or six months with a building permit. Anyone curious about the viability or permitting process for unconventional structures such as tiny homes, yurts or earthship homes is encouraged to speak with Torrance County Planning & Zoning.
- Zoning: Estancia Ranchettes is zoned Rural Residential in a Pre-Platted Lands District. This designation means that the subdivision was created before Torrance County had formal zoning laws, and hence tends to benefit from a more relaxed attitude when it comes to both Permissive and Conditional Uses. To read more of the Torrance County zoning ordinance that addresses these two designations, we encourage you to follow this link or watch the video at the top of this page for a discussion of the topic beginning at 09:51.
- HOAs/Restrictions: The Estancia Ranchettes subdivision has no Home Owners or Property Owners Associaiton. There are no covenants or restrictions and no yearly dues beyond the annual taxes you'll pay to Torrance County.
- Utilities: While some parts of this subdivision have power lines, and while underground utility boxes can be found in others, overall this is a region largely devoid of utilities. Anyone attmepting to build, RV or camp out here should expect to rely on alternative forms of power. Any specific property that has access to power lines will be noted both on the individual listing page as well as on our corresponding spreadsheet of available lots.
- Cell Reception: It should be noted that despite the lack of utilities in this region, our photographer reported a surprisingly reliable cell reception throughout the entire subdivision.
- Wells & Water Table Depth: It is said that area wells range from 150 to 300 feet in depth. Anyone considering drilling a well in this region is encouraged to speak with local well drillers for a more accurate sense of cost and logistics.
- Nearby Towns & Resources: Located just ten minutes outside of Moriarty you'll have easy access to groceries and supplies as well as fast food restaurants, gas stations, post offices and banks. Edgewood, an additional ten mintues west along the I-40 is where you'll find the nearest Walmart Superstore as well as additional big box stores and grocery chains. Furthermore, Albuquerque, the largest city in the state, is just a quick twenty minute drive west and is likely to have whatever product or service you can't procure in Edgewood or Moriarty.
- CASH OPTION: Using a credit or debit card, pay the cash price as indicated above along with a $150.00 Document Preparation fee and within 24 hours we will draft new documentation conveying the land from our company to you. Once you approve the paperwork, we will record it with the county and you will become the new owner of the land.
- FINANCING OPTION: If you don’t have all the money now and would prefer to pay for the property more gradually, you may elect to use the financing option we have indicated above of $250.00 Down and $100.00/Month. It should be noted, however, that the property will not be deeded into your name until such a time as the balance has been paid in full. Between now and that time we will have a Land Contract which will be the document that demonstrates your equitable interest in the land.
