This property is 160 acres (plus or minus).



5,000 sq ft steel bldg (50’ x 100’) that shelters the mobile home and provides covered parking space for numerous vehicles. This steel building could easily be completely enclosed if desired.



3,600 sq ft bldg with steel roof (60’ x 60’). 70% complete. Two motorized garage doors (18’ wide and 9’ wide. 98% of materials needed to complete construction are on site. Could be used for a residence, workshop, community center, apartments, storage, etc. 200 amp electrical panel.

Four additional metered RV spaces are nearby. All spaces have commercial potential or can be used by friends or associates.



In the event of a failure of electrical pumps that provide normal water pressure for the modern flush toilets in the mobile home, any of the outdoor toilets will serve well. Outdoor toilets require no water. Most RVs, if on-site, will typically have toilets within. Additionally, any modern flush toilet can easily be flushed by pouring a bucket of water in it.

There are 4 additional outdoor pre-dug toilet facilities that can be used in the event of an influx of friends or associates.

Lumber storage shed with attached enclosed workshop. Approximately 18’ x 33’. Has electric lights and outlets.



Small bldg with concrete floor (approximately 12’ x 15’). Could be used as a residential cabin, tool storage, equipment storage, etc. Has electric lights and outlets. Siding is plywood. Corrugated metal is on-site that could be used to upgrade the siding.



Portable steel tool-storage locker. Approximately 7’W x 9’L x 6'H.



Slide-in pickup camper suitable for tool/supply storage. Approximately 8’ x 12’.



Slide-in pickup camper suitable for live-in camping or tool/supply storage or a small office. Approximately 8’ x 12’.



Windmill. Aermotor brand. 6’ blade. 30’ steel tower. Capable of pumping water, or its tower could be used to support an electrical wind-turbine generator.



Huge system of underground water piping exists that is below freeze depth.



Slightly over one-half mile of utility poles and wiring supply electricity this property. It runs from a state highway to the property. It is maintained by the electrical company at no cost to the property owner. When the property was developed, the owner paid $9,000 to the electric company for installation.



Twelve phone lines were installed by the phone company to supply the property. These lines run underground from a state highway to the housing area.



Two outdoor yard lights exist that belong to the electric company. The owner can choose to let the electric company provide lighting, or not.



150’ x 150’ fenced garden space. Fertile soil down to about a 3 ft depth. Two electrical outlets are within the garden area that can be used to operate a small electric tiller, if desired. Many water faucets for growing season use. One all-weather faucet in the garden for winter use. Portable steel garden tool storage-container is centered in the garden.



Total of 5 all-weather outdoor faucets are ideally located in the vicinity of buildings/garden.



Underground room that is approximately 12’ x 15’. Ceiling height is about 6 ½ ft. Suitable for use as a root cellar, storm shelter, warfare shelter, storage facility. It has an emergency exit that is only visible from its interior. Underground construction works particularly well in this area of NM.



Availability of 31,000 gallons of gravity-fed, stored water capacity in the event of failure of electricity, municipalities, etc.



A massive amount of firewood is on-site suitable to provide heat in the event of failure of electricity.



Water purification system that uses these steps to supply the mobile home:

Chlorination with calcium hypochlorite (used during storage only).
Sediment filter (5 micron filtration).
Charcoal filter (1 micron filtration). Removes chlorine and most impurities.
A gravity-fed ceramic filtration system. http://www.aquarain.com/ . Removes anything remaining. Purity level approximates that of distillation. This system operates without electricity.
The purity of this water far exceeds that supplied by public utilities or wells.



An all-weather rain water catchment system supplies all water needs. Approximately 31,000 gallons of water storage exists. Storage is in 21 top-quality black polyethylene tanks designed for water storage. All tanks can operate either independently or in unison with other tanks. Every tank can be independently isolated to enable repairs (no repairs have ever been necessary). This water supply and storage system cannot be disabled due to a lack of electricity or problems with utility companies. This system incorporates 2 pumps that supply normal water pressure. If normal water pressure did not exist, you can still obtain water that would gravity-feed from the tanks, though at less than normal water pressure. For the past 10 years, even through periods of drought, there has been sufficient water. If more more water is desired, either install more roofing or drill a well. There is an ideal site for a well within a few feet of abundant electricity for running a pump.



Details on existing pumps: A dual AC electrical pumping system is on-site (2 separate pumps). Each serves as a back-up to the other in the event of one’s failure. These two pumps provide normal water pressure. A back-up for the AC pumps is a 12V DC pump that could be used in the event of failure of both AC electrical pumps. This DC pump provides about the same pressure that would be found in a typical RV/camping trailer. Additionally, there is a spare AC pump stored on-site.



This water system has been working happily for 10 years. Should there be a failure of any component, repairs would be simple and inexpensive.



It is likely that a deposit of caliche (limestone) may exist in a small area on the property. No digging has been done to confirm this. A piece of caliche the size of a football and a smaller piece surfaced in this small area. This is a useful commodity that can be used for construction or paving.



The owner experimented with on-site native materials to see if creating adobe or cob building materials was feasable. For a definition of cob building materials see http://www.cobcottage.com/whatis . Both adobe and cob can be made from on-site materials with the addition of a little mortar cement.



An all-weather UPS/FedEx delivery storage box is on-site. Access to this storage box does not require the driver to enter the secured areas.



Post Office boxes in the nearby small town are free to property residents.



A ½ mile long, 25 ft wide, deeded easement exists that provides guaranteed access to the property from an all-weather, two-lane, asphalt, state highway.



Four 55-gallon fuel storage tanks are on-site.



Additionally there are two 250-gallon fuel tanks that belong to a local fuel supplier. These can be used by property owners with the permission of the fuel supplier (or the supplier can remove the tanks if requested to).


Ideal location for solar or wind energy applications.

Very little traffic is in this county and general area, including the 3 nearest towns/cities.

About 900 linear feet of utility poles are on-site that are included with this property. These can be used for fencing, building, or numerous other projects.


The terrain allows for a rifle range of about 800 yards should the owner want one. Line of sight downrange is about ½ mile. In general, line of sight is well over 1/2 mile. There is no cover that could hide an approaching vehicle, including one as small as a motorcycle. A person on foot would need to crawl on their belly for several hundred yards to approach unnoticed.



The entire property is surrounded by privately owned open range land. The nearest neighbor is two miles distant. Very quiet and private. No interlopers or snoopers have ever been observed. Government typically does not disturb farmers and ranchers in this area.



Fruit trees are inside the garden area. Shade trees are in the area of the RV campground. Trees are not yet mature.



Surrounding ranches and farms produce abundant food supplies. Barter would work well in this area.



This property is not a habitat for any endangered animal species or plant life.

Large wild game include antelope and an occasional deer. There are no wolves, mountain lions, or bears. Coyotes are common but have never presented problems.

No undesireable/unlawful activities have ever existed on this property.

Of interest to those who may have allergies: No structures have ever been subjected to tobacco smoke or other smoke. No pets have ever been on the property. Pesticides have never been used in the mobile home, nor have they been needed.

This general area has been proven to be safe from floods, earthquakes, hurricanes, volcanos, radiation, coal-fired and nuclear plants, hazardous waste, aircraft flight paths, natural gas lines, spills from railroad accidents (nearest railroad is 4.5 miles), stray vehicles, harmful large wild game, landfills, manufacturing pollutants, and human predators. Tornados occur statewide at a frequency of about one-seventh of that of Florida. Tornados that do significant damage are extremely rare. None have been known to occur at this property.

This general area is not an area of choice for human predators. Predators prefer targets where they can enter unseen and where they have the advantage of surprise. They prefer targets that are rendered nearly helpless by laws that discourage self-protection. Predators want a getaway route that immediately prevents them from becoming a target themselves. All factors are in the favor of residents of this property.

All structures are on the highest section of the property's terrain.

Should there ever be a fire, a range fire is preferable to a forest fire. Fire breaks, if desired, are easy to maintain with the existing equipment.
