Rio del Oro Subdivision is a very large development consisting of 47,000 acres located between Belen and Los Lunas, east toward the Manzano Mountains.

The area really boasts some of the finest unspoilt nature in the US and has all the conveniences of a nearby major city Albuquerque and you can even get there by taking a new commuter solar train running to Belen and even Santa Fe.

Rio Del Oro lots can provide a solution for all budgets.

NOTE: In order to build on these lots, drill a water well, and add septic, you have to have a minimum of .75 acres or 3 contiguous .25 acre lots. If you buy a single .25 acre lot you can only camp (RV, tent, camper, etc.) up to 45 calendar days per year. You can contact the Construction Industries Division of New Mexico (CID) and get an approval for a cabin/no wheels attached with a composting toilet/port-a-potty and a water catchment system if you wish, but it will be up to the CID to approve this.

The open countryside, with its native grasses, wildflowers and the nearby Manzano Mountains towering over 10,000 feet, provide a picturesque backdrop to the property.

The Manzano Mountain Wilderness covers nearly 37,000 acres, encompasses most of the mountain with incredible hiking, cross country skiing and an abundance of wildlife.

The main population of the area is along the I-25 corridor and the Rio Grande River. The Rio Communities lie to the east of this main corridor.

There are scattered subdivisions throughout this area and there are other areas of no development. There are many nice homes in the already developed areas.
