Cheap Land in Albuquerque, New Mexico
As part of the Volcano Cliffs residential subdivision, this 2.19 acre lot lies just north of Petroglyph National Park in northwest Albuquerque. This area is considered to be part of the West Mesa and is known for its many canyon parks and trails.
- Unobstructed Sandia Mountain views
- Just a Few Minutes from Petroglyph National Park & multiple trailheads
- Road Frontage
- Surveyed
- Very Buildable: Flat, No Floodplain
- Priced about 49% Below Market!
- Great Investment – high end developments moving this way!
PROPERTY: This 2.19 acre land is made up of two different parcels — 1.75 acres on the north side of the platted road (labeled Patron Rd) and 0.44 acres on the south side of the road, which offers 165 feet of frontage to both parcels. An informal dirt road has been established and currently cuts across the middle of the north parcel. The actual platted Patron Rd though, is yet to be graded. The ground is vacant, generally flat, build-friendly, and covered lightly with brush, with perfect views of the Sandia Mountain range. The recently finished, high-end community about 4,000 feet away offers all utilities, and development is expected to continue this way, so invest now at a rock bottom price! This northwest area of Albuquerque is the city’s natural playground, which is why so many high-end subdivisions have been built here. You’re just a few minutes from Petroglyph National Park and many other smaller parks and trails that wind through beautiful canyons and ancient volcanic terrain. Fortunately, all these natural amenties don’t come at the expense of urban conveniences, as shopping hotspots like Costco, Walmart, Target, Home Depot, and Best Buy (located in or around the Cottonwood Mall) are all within a 15 minute’s drive.

OWNER FINANCING: We do not offer owner-financing but you could get a loan through a bank or another lender and we’d be happy to coordinate with them.
OUTSIDE FINANCING: Your best deal for financing will come from a local bank or credit union and we can help you find a great deal. Land loans typically require about 15-25% down.
Rural 1st is America’s leading land lender for rural properties and they require as little as 15% down on a 10 or 15-year fixed land loan, with no PMI, and they prefer a credit score of 720 or better. Please contact Michael Wirth by phone or email at (502) 553-8152 or michael.wirth@rural1st.com. They do serve New Mexico.
Call or text Scott directly at 314.639.9777 or email at info@acretown.com if you’d like to discuss an offer.
FOR SALE BY OWNER: We are investors, and are selling this lot For-Sale-By-Owner. You do not need to submit your offer through a real estate agent, and in our experience we close transactions more quickly and easily by having our dedicated transaction coordinator work directly with the Title Company and Buyers. We will also both save money on commission/fees by cutting out agents as the middle men. However, if you feel strongly about working with a Realtor, then you’re welcome to have them contact us on your behalf.
WHY ARE YOU SELLING IT SO CHEAP? We are often asked why we price our properties at below market value, and the answer is really simple: because we can, and that’s our core business model. We are investors who purchase properties at a large volume and deeply liquidated rates, and by passing this discount on to our buyers, we can sell land quickly . . . and more of it! In fact, our average property only lasts 2-3 weeks on the market (vs. industry average of about 6 months).
DISCLAIMER: We attempt to provide detailed, accurate and up-to-date information in our listings, in order to help our buyers to the best of our ability. However, it ultimately remains the buyer’s responsibility to perform their own due diligence and double check any details that are of significant importance to you including acreage, utilities, build-ability, and approved/allowable use-age for the property. We are happy to help however we can.
