LOCATION & SIZE

The subject property is a 4.62 acre parcel located in Loma Blanca, a secluded residential subdivision situated just outside White Signal. Set against the backdrop of the surrounding foothills, this peaceful residential community sits within easy driving distance of Silver City.

LEGAL INFORMATION

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 above 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 the Property Details section.

ACCESS & UTILITIES

Roads & Access: The subject property is located just off of State Road 90 at the corner of Michelle Lane and Otis Drive. The roads here are well-maintained and trafficked often and as such, can be navigated by any vehicle type.

Power & Utilities: As with most of the lots in this residential community, power and underground utilities can be found marking the subject property. The presence of the aforementioned utilities guarantees that power, phone, cable and high speed internet service can be brought to the subject property at minimal cost to the buyer and eventual homebuilder. It should also be noted that our photographer reported excellent cell reception during the multiple trips he made to the land.

ZONING & RESTRICTIONS

No HOA: The Loma Blanca subdivision has no HOA and there are no annual dues associated with the land.

Covenants & Restrictions: When the Loma Blanca subdivision was first created, the developer drew up a set of covenants and restrictions to run with the land. While most of these are what we like to refer to as “reasonable, good neighbor restrictions” dealing primarily with the disposal of trash and prohibitions on excess noise, there are a few covenants that deal with acceptable structures or use of the land. Because of this, anyone considering purchasing the property is encouraged to review the Loma Blanca covenants and restrictions document linked here. To learn more about the Loma Blanca covenants and restrictions you can read this PDF.

Covenants & Restrictions, Cont’d: Notable restrictions enumerated in the above-linked document include: Structures must be a minimum of 1,500 square feet; Mobile and Modular Homes are not permitted; There are no restrictions on horses. Additionally, this document makes mention of an Owners Association. When the subdivision was first created in 2004 there may have been an intention to create one, and one may have even been in existence for a few years. As of the writing of this property description, however, none currently exists or has existed for some time.

HELPFUL LINKS

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.
