TIERRA GRANDE (subdivision): Tierra Grande offers quiet, country living in one of the nicest areas of Socorro County. HOA dues are only $75 a year, and they are very relaxed about regulations but do an excellent job maintaining the tranquility and beauty of the area. Tierra Grande Improvement Association (the HOA) is very accommodating and easy to reach, and they allow shipping container homes, adobe homes, and much more! Conveniently located near I-25 and nestled beneath the Manzano Mountains, you really could not ask for a better place to enjoy the stunning New Mexico sunsets and temperate weather.
ROAD ACCESS: Yes, there is legal road access, as the county has platted (i.e., "mapped") legal access to each parcel. However, not all roads have been cut out - you will have to create your own driveway to access this parcel. (This is usually as easy as simply driving on the ground for a couple weeks until you’ve created tracks.)
