This morning we rolled out of bed still bummed over not being able to find the "perfect ranchero". We Googled a few real estate agents last night and found a few to look for. After breakfast we were able to watch a few hot air balloons fly over I-25, something about seeing a hot air balloon float through the sky is relaxing to watch, and we headed south to Los Lunas to begin yet another adventure.
The first agent we talked to was very friendly and helpful. After listening to our land requirements the first thing out of his mouth was "I think that the Tierra Grande subdivision is just what you are looking for". We looked at each other, sorta rolled our eyes and informed him that we had driven out there yesterday and was not impressed, he looked surprised. We explained what we had seen and what we had against the area we had seen and he was sure we had not seen the Tierra Grande, but another area.
He printed us a listing of lots for sale there and detailed directions on how to get there, so we take off driving again.... He was right, we had not seen this area. After driving the 6 miles back toward the mountains from the highway (on dirt roads again, but not nearly as bad as yesterday's) we found the area where the properties are located. There are 3 20 acre lots available in this section and we really did like them. You have views of the Manzano mountains in almost 3 directions and then in the distance another mountain or large hill. Very nice views.
After discussing the pros and cons we are pretty sure that we have found the property we would like to retire to. Since the lots were not marked very well, we are waiting for a clearer plot plan to be sent to us to make sure that we put an offer on the right piece of property. We are hoping to make an offer on this property by the end of the week. Pretty sure that Tonya will sleep better once an offer has been placed and accepted.
We head out earlier tomorrow to go back to Denver and should be home tomorrow evening. We'll talk to you all later.
Lessons Learned: It appears that it really paid off to talk to a professional and good things come to those who wait.
