Much of that acreage borders on the majestic Manzano Mountains, part of the Cibola National Forest. The Manzanos provide beautiful trails and canyons for exploring, horseback riding, hiking and backpacking. Please refer to Plat Map for Unit 24 to see how close Unit 24, Block 6, Lot 17 is to these mountains, yet accessible from NM Highway 47.

Enough space for 20 horses

From TGIA link, Building in Tierra Grande, paragraph 2 on Restrictive Covenants: xe2x80x9cOnly ordinary household pets are permitted, with the exception of two horses per five acres, no other farm animals.xe2x80x9d Doing the math: 50 acres, 20 horses.

You might not want to stable twenty horses near your backyard. You can rent horses at many places in NM, including lessons if you are not already an experienced rider. But over time, if you decide you want to raise your own horses, itxe2x80x99s nice to know, that can be done too. Suggestion: inquire at TGIA office for history about Tierra Grande neighbors who have done that. Office: 480 Rio Communities Blvd, Suite H, Belen, NM 87002; Tel: (505) 864-2345.

Solar insolation is high, averaging over 5 kilowatt-hours per sq meter per day

Thinking about generating your own electricity? NM & national organizations that can inform and assist homeowners having solar interest and objectives include: http://www.nmsea.org/; http://www.nmsea.org/Downloads/Go_Solar_Guide.pdf; http://www.nrel.gov/gis/solar.html. Tierra Grande is a relatively good place to consider solar because you can expect the sun to shine in Tierra Grande Unit 24 about the same as in Albuquerque. In Abq the solar insolation is about 5.5 kilowatt-hours per square meter per day, higher than in most other locations in the US, according to http://www.nrel.gov/gis/images/map_pv_us_annual_may2004.jpg . One acre contains about 4047 square meters. Solar insolation is discussed in many online sites, e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insolation.
