Lot Description
This is a gorgeous and secluded approximately 5.08 acre property in Cibola County, New Mexico along the continental divide.
It is Unit 6 Lot 73 in the undeveloped Tierra Verde Ranchettes subdivision.
Lot 73 is mostly beautiful meadow but has some nice groups of trees as well. The scenery is fantastic.
This property is in the El Malpais National Conservation Area. This is a designated significant geological, archaeological, ecological, cultural, scenic, scientific, and wilderness area. This does not put any restriction on your property. Any public land within this area is put into the conservation trust, but privately owned land is not affected.
You can camp or RV without restriction, or you can choose to build your dream residence or vacation cabin. Electric power is 304 yards away, you can have it run to this property or choose solar. You will probably use catchment for water, which is generally done in this area.
The road easement to the property has not been entirely graded in. You can drive through the meadow about 118 yards from the main trail road, or grade in the easement if and when you choose to do so.
We do not run credit checks, everyone qualifies for the same financing.
With an initial payment of $294 ($99 down payment + $195 document fee) we will finance the balance for as little as $169.29 per month over 12 years.

Lot Maps & Attachments
Directions to Lot
We recommend that you use a good quality handheld navigation device such as a Garmin Etrex. Phone based and vehicle based navigation systems often perform very poorly in rural areas. We also recommend that you look at the route using Google Earth or Google Maps (satellite view, never street view) to better understand where you're going. You can copy/paste the GPS coordinates from this document directly into Google Earth or Google Maps. The road to this property has not yet been graded in all the way, although it is very close.
Travel about 28 miles west of Grants on Route 53.
About 1 mile west of the Bandera Ice caves turn south on Route 42. The coordinates of the intersection of Route 53 & Route 42 are 35.006586, -108.090403.
The roads are all dirt and they have some rough spots. Some of the ruts will fill up with water after a rain. To be safe you should be in a 4 wheel drive. There are no real hills at all, just some rough spots and some tire ruts that could get slippery. Route 42 is a dirt based road and has a clay based soil in most places. This soil will become extremely slippery when it is wet. It is not recommended to travel these roads when they are wet.
Go 7 to 7.5 miles. Route 42 is a pretty well maintained dirt road but has some rougher spots. Check out the lava flows that cross it in places.
Immediately past a shallow lake with a fence on the left (Laguna Americano), keep to the right. This is where you will be leaving Route 42. The coordinates there are approximately 35.006586, -108.162889. You will be getting close to a large cinder cone volcano.
Go about 100 feet to the next fork and bear left.
Proceed about 0.4 mile to the next fork and bear right.
You will have been traveling around the crater called Cerro Americano and you will be going around it on its left side so it will be on your right. You will be going around it in a clockwise direction. There is a sign nearby with the volcanos name on it.
In another 0.5 mile, at 34.929331, -108.179367 you will bear left at the fork and be turning away from the crater.
In 0.5 mile you will come to the entrance of Unit 7. There are some signs there and a cattle guard. The entrance is exactly at the northeast corner of Unit 7. The approximate coordinates for this entrance are 34.929900, -108.186500. You will follow the main subdivision road through Unit 7, where it is known as Cerro Americano Road. The name of the road as it enters Unit 6 changes to Cerro Leonides Road.
Once you get into unit 6 you will see the power line crossing the road.
The main subdivision road, where it exits Unit 7 and enters Unit 6 becoming Cerro Leonides Road, is approximately 34.924983, -108.203339.
After entering Unit 6 go approximately another 0.7 mile and Lot 73 will be about 118 yards to your right. There is a road easement along the east side of the property, but it has not been graded in. For now you can make your way across the meadow to your property. You can leave access as it is, or you can grade from the main road along the east side of your property, which is where the platted road easement goes.
