Pre-Staked Corner Lot Close To Utilities In Upscale Community

The subject property is located in the Buena Vida community, an upscale residential subdivision just west of Roswell which boasts community utilities servicing generously portioned lots. This parcel is a 6.02 acre property situated along Via Del Sol Street, a well maintained dirt road that can be accessed and navigated by any vehicle type.

When we speak of property we typically use an address -- 123 Main Street for instance. 

As most vacant land does not have a physical address, however, county governments will identify it in other ways, such as a "legal description", a parcel number or a tax code. The information provided in the table to the right are the ways in which the various state and county agencies will identify this specific parcel of land. These signifiers are important to have when speaking with these agencies - whether they be the assessor, the zoning office, or even the local utilities - and may prove invaluable when initiating conversations about whatever research a buyer intends to do.

Whenever one exists or has been assigned to the land, the physical address will be included in this table.

Buena Vida is a large, mostly undeveloped subdivision consisting of four Units of land. Unit one, where the subject property is located, is the most developed of all these Units and features not only a number of home sites with nice houses (see photos in the gallery at the bottom of this page), but also power lines and underground utilities. While these services are available in the subdivision, it should be noted that neither reach the boundary of this property, stopping short by about 1,000 feet. Because of this, anyone looking to build here is encouraged to investigate the costs and logistics behind getting these services extended and connected to whatever you decide to build on the land.

Utility companies servicing this region include X-Cel Energy (power) and Century Link (cable & internet). Water service in this region is still only accessible by well, the application for which you'll have to submit through the Office of the State Engineer.

While difficult to discern from satellite imagery, the subject property is actually a corner lot with road frontage along its western and northern boundaries. The western boundary is Via Del Sol Street, the primary access road extending from the main Tierra Grande Boulevard. The northern boundary is overgrown and not easy to discern but is a legal road.

In addition to the afformentioned road frontage, the subject property has also been fenced along its southern border and property boundary stakes mark the four corners including the ill-defined north eastern corner. Because of this, anyone purchasing this land will likely not need to commission an expensive survey to determine their exact boundaries.

The subject property is part of a formal HOA known as the Buena Vida Improvement Association. As is to be expected, this organization has a number of responsbilities including the enforcement of covenants and restrictions created when the subdivision was first developed. Additionally, the HOA collects annual dues of $75.00 for each lot owner in the region to help with the upkeep of the community. To learn more about the Buena Vida Improvement Association and the services they provide, you can visit their website linked here.

As noted, the Buena Vida community is governed by a set of covenants and restrictions first created with the subdivision. While most of these are what we like to term "common sense, good neighbor restrictions", they do include an Architectural Control Committee which is tasked with approving the building plans for all structures within their community. While these organizations tend to provide a valuable service in helping to maintain property values, they do cause certain buyers to blanche at the additional level of governance. Because of this, anyone looking to purchase land here is encouraged to familiarize themselves with the Buena Vida covenants and restrictions or even speak with the HOA in advance about specific building plans.

The Hemingway Land Company does our best to represent the properties we list as accurately as possible. Our research, however, will always be limited. 

Because of this, included in the table to the right is a list of the relevant state and county governments, agencies and authorities as well as local utilities (and all their respective websites and contact information) which should help to answer any questions a buyer may have about developing this specific property.

Whenever possible it is best to speak with these agencies first as they will always be a far greater source of information about the local region and the regulations which govern it. 

Per the Buena Vida covenants, livestock including horses, cattle, chickens and "other fowl" may be kept and raised on the subject property.

An additional benefit to living in Buena Vida is that they have an onsite fire department servicing the community (see photos in the gallery at the bottom of this page). This of course can be a tremendous benefit knowing that emergency services are just around the corner.

It should be noted that your neighbors in this region will include both pronghorn and antelope, both of which roam freely through the undeveloped parts of this subdivision and are observed often by the residents of the community.

Just an hour south in nearby Carlsbad you'll find plenty to explore in the awe-inspiring Carlsbad Caverns. Additionally, within an hour’s drive to the west of Roswell you can find the town of Ruidoso which boasts the Ruidoso Downs Racetrack and Casino as well as plenty of great winter sport activities on the slopes of Ski Apache.
