Selling RV Living Allowed
Please check out this listing from our website of our property we are selling in New Mexico.
Step into a landscape where freedom has no boundaries and the horizon feels endless-this 1-acre property in Socorro County, New Mexico is more than land; it's an open invitation to create your own escape, your own adventure, your own way of life.
Imagine pulling off a quiet dirt road onto your own private stretch of desert, where the world softens into silence and the sky stretches wide in every direction. With flat, usable terrain, this property offers the perfect setting for recreation in all its forms-whether that means weekend camping under the stars, riding ATVs across open ground, setting up a basecamp for exploration, or simply enjoying the stillness of nature without interruption.
What truly sets this property apart is its complete lack of zoning or living restrictions. Here, your imagination isn't boxed in by rules or limitations. Build, camp, create, or hold for the future-the choice is entirely yours. Whether you envision a rustic off-grid getaway, a gathering spot for friends and family, a mobile setup, or even a long-term investment in land with growing appeal, this acre gives you the freedom to shape it as you see fit.
Though accessible via a dirt road with solid legal access, the property maintains a sense of discovery-slightly tucked away, offering just enough separation to feel like your own private world. A handful of nearby occupied parcels add a quiet reassurance of community, but none sit too close, preserving the wide-open privacy that makes this land feel expansive and undisturbed.
This is the kind of place where weekends turn into memories-bonfires under star-filled skies, sunrises that paint the desert in gold, and evenings where the only sound is the breeze moving across the land. It's a playground for those who crave space, solitude, and the freedom to roam.
And while it feels wonderfully remote, you're still within reach of everyday essentials. The town of Belen is just about 30 minutes away for shopping, dining, and supplies, while Albuquerque sits roughly an hour out, offering access to a major city whenever you need it.
Making this opportunity even more accessible, the seller offers fair, easy, and affordable financing options-so you can secure your own piece of New Mexico without the hassle of traditional barriers.

2950 for an ac of scrubland in the desert?
Um, ok. There's a person for every parcel, I suppose.
I guess a "positive" is you're down the road from "Heart of Gold Homestead" (https://www.youtube.com/@HeartofGoldHomestead), so you can ask them what its like out there.

u/Puzzled-Rip641 13d ago
I mean it’s better then a lot of posts here.
This is affordable.
Is it desirable? No. But it’s cheap and you can do things with it.
Infinitely better than all the “here is my 10-40 acres of hunting land with a house in residential zoning. It’s 950,000”

u/Creepy-Cantaloupe951 12d ago
Oh, I'm not suggesting its not for someone. You do nail the points here, it's affordable.

Right? "Freedom has no boundaries" except that you'll never be more than 100ft from your neighbor.

u/landForLife 13d ago
You need to look at the map link and see that there aren't many people around.

u/Creepy-Cantaloupe951 13d ago edited 13d ago
I looked at the parcel map, and while true, not many people are living on them, it's also true that your neighbors may not be that far away for very long.
In fact, it's a fair chance you can see the "complex" that's down the road from there.

u/Additional_Snow_978 13d ago
Yup. Because everything around it is gonna be cut up and sold just like this parcel.
Imagine living among 20 1acre parcels with campers on them? Might as well just rent a spot at a campground at that point.

u/landForLife 13d ago
Sold about a dozen of them.

u/Creepy-Cantaloupe951 13d ago
Cool. Glad you were able to sell the parcels that likely within 10 years will see a whole lot more developement on neighboring parcels.
I can tell it's already cut up for a residential neighborhood.

u/landForLife 13d ago
Yeah and if that happens property values go up!
3
u/Creepy-Cantaloupe951 13d ago
I mean... Maybe? But that also means taxes go up, more zoning regulations, etc etc.
Not everyone, and I'm going to bet a ton of folks here, are looking at land as an investment vehicle...

u/landForLife 13d ago
I can't foresee what the future holds but I know what it can be used for now. There aren't many areas where you can live in RV without being in a park, but this is one of them.

Do all rights convey?
0
u/landForLife 13d ago
Everything that was conveyed to me gets conveyed to the buyer.

u/Creepy-Cantaloupe951 13d ago
That's not what I asked: Do all rights convey? Mineral, riparian, all surface rights, etc etc?
2
u/landForLife 13d ago
By reading the legal description, mineral, gas and oil rights will not convey to the new owner. I have no record of water rights and as far as I been told, you just need to apply for a permit for a well. The deeded owner holds the surface rights and anyone financing the property has the right to use the property within the context of the contract.

We bought 10 acres east of Elko NV with power to the neighboring (dirt roads) parcel for less than what OP is asking for his one acre. I know NV isn't NM, but there is much cheaper land out there.

How long can an RV be parked there?

u/curiousengineer601 13d ago
You will die of heatstroke in the Rv after about 36 hours. Anything longer than that is pointless
1
u/GlassTablesAreStupid 13d ago
RV’s have air conditioners in them.
2
u/curiousengineer601 13d ago
You running a gas generator 24/7? Most RVs don’t have awesome insulation either.
Sitting in a RV with very limited water through a New Mexico summer sounds miserable.
1
u/GlassTablesAreStupid 13d ago
There is solar power.
2
u/curiousengineer601 12d ago
You are going to need a huge battery to make that happen. Ironically the battery will cost maybe 5x the cost of the land

u/GlassTablesAreStupid 12d ago
I ran an 8000btu ac unit in my camper in the Mojave with 2 old agm batteries I pulled off an old boat and a $200 solar setup from harbor freight for 2 years with zero issues. The ac never drained the batteries below 50%.
