Land with Ravine Views
Belen, NM 87002
Valencia County, New Mexico
Land Description
This property isn't for paved-road commuters or cookie-cutter builders-it's for the buyer who lives for open desert, night skies, and the quiet crackle of a campfire. Set high on a mesa in Valencia County, this 2.5-Acre parcel south of Belen, New Mexico offers sweeping ravine views, wide horizons, and the kind of darkness stargazers actively seek out.
Access is rugged and intentional, best approached from the south via Argan Road, making this land ideal for 4-wheel setups, overland rigs, and buyers who enjoy getting off the beaten path. There's no nearby development and virtually no light pollution. Nights are silent, skies are full of stars, and mornings start slow-exactly the way this kind of land is meant to be experienced.
Whether you're looking for a rough-camping basecamp, an off-grid recreational retreat, or affordable land to hold quietly for future use, this property delivers an authentic desert experience, not a polished or suburban version of one.
