Description: Rio Del Oro is a sprawling subdivision occupying 47,000 acres of land stretching from the I-25 and the Rio Grande River in the west to the Manzano Mountains in the east. Comprised almost entirely of quarter acre parcels, it makes up not only one of the largest residential subdivisions in Valencia County, but also one of the greatest expanses of undeveloped land in this rapidly growing region.

Legal Access: All parcels in the Rio Del Oro subdivision have legal access.

Road Access, Primary Roads: There are a number of major arterials which cut through the Rio Del Oro subdivision from north to south and east to west. They include the Manzano Parkway, the Rio Del Oro Loop and Military Road. These roads are all paved, well-maintained and can be navigated by any vehicle type. In addition, these roads are also clearly marked with street signs and other directionals.

Road Access, Secondary Roads: For however well-maintained and labeled the primary roads are, there are literally thousands of secondary roads throughout this subdivision which are not regularly maintained and whose quality and condition varies from frequently-trafficked dirt and gravel roads, to sandy roads to overgrown roads only discernable from above. Additionally, while all of these roads have designated names per the plat, almost none of them are labeled and almost all of them require a larger truck or off-road capable vehicle to traverse.

Power & Utilities: While many properties in the western parts of the subdivision have or sit in close proximity to power lines and underground utility boxes, overall this is a region largely devoid of utilities. Anyone attempting to build, RV or camp here should expect to rely on alternative forms of power. Any specific property that has power will be noted on the individual listing page. Anyone looking to investigate the costs associated with getting service connected to a specific property is encouraged to contact PNM, the utility company servicing this region.

Cell Reception: It should be noted that despite the lack of utilities in this region, our photographers report a surprisingly reliable cell reception throughout the entire subdivision.

Wells & Water Table Depth: Due to the area it encompasses, it's difficult to give a one-size-fits-all answer to the varying depths of the water table throughout this region. Anyone considering drilling a well here is encouraged to speak with local well drillers for a more accurate sense of cost and logistics.
