$1000 Los Lunas New Mexico $1000 per acre 5 acre minimum
10 min. from Albuquerque's center. Also south to Los Lunas and Belen areas. I have over 200 acres in 5 acre ++ lots. Some are commercial, mostly residential. Also a few larger lots. This is the best buy you have ever heard of and when the East falls into the ocean this will be the best investment in the world. Give me a call and I will send out information. If you have money to invest you would be insane to invest it anywhere else. Please contact me. I'm 87 years old and need to get rid of this land because it's not going to do me any good to keep it.

The area is loaded with "shale" and has both Natural Gas and Oil in abundance. It makes Arabia look like a can of Three-In-One oil.
Read the article below, published in the Abuquerque Journal dated January, 29 2013:
The Time for Natural Gas Is Now
Every once in a while an opportunity comes along where a state can show the federal government how to move this nation forward. An excellent opportunity is now presenting itself in the form of natural gas transportation.
Aztec Well Service wants to convert its fleet of 121 trucks and 13 drilling rigs from diesel and gasoline to natural gas. In addition, the company would like to turn an Aztec gas station into a natural gas fueling station for its own vehicles as well as for area residents.
This is a small -- yet important -- step in the right direction.
Ninety-eight percent of America's transportation system is powered by oil, which leaves us vulnerable to price shocks and causes us to spend about $750,000 every minute on imported petroleum.
We've known for decades that America should figure out a way to lessen its dependence on foreign oil for our economic and national security. Every president since Richard Nixon has talked about making this laudable goal an actual priority. But we've made precious little progress.
Out of all the transportation options before us, the only alternative to oil that makes any sense is compressed natural gas (CNG) for passenger cars and liquefied natural gas (LNG) for long haul vehicles. The other alternatives are either far too expensive (commuter rail), are not technologically advanced enough (hydrogen fuel cells), provide only a minimal help (hybrids and electric cars) or are actually counterproductive (ethanol, biofuels).
CNG and LNG can be powerful solutions to our transportation needs, if only the nation can overcome the "chicken and egg" dilemma. There's no market for natural gas vehicles unless there's an adequate supply of natural gas filling stations. Without the filling stations there's no market for natural gas cars and trucks.
We have to start somewhere, and this is where New Mexico leadership comes into play.
In order for Aztec Well Service to convert its fleet of vehicles to natural gas and to also to create a new natural gas filling station for itself and the public, it needs to be able to actually tap into the gas. That will require the Gas Company of New Mexico to extend a new line from a high-pressure valve some 3.5 miles away. The pipeline extension will cost between $620,000 and $850,000.
The Gas Company is reluctant to pay for the gas line. No doubt, this is a lot of money.
But let's consider that many other businesses will also need to tap into this pipeline as the area grows. The Mancos Shale, a huge oil deposit now attracting a lot of attention, will drive much of this expansion. So the pipeline will be installed over the next few years no matter what.
It should also be noted that oil and gas companies and their service providers in the northwest and southeast contribute far more to the state's economy than they take out.
In any given year the oil and gas industry pumps in a quarter to a third of the revenue into the state's bank accounts. Our huge permanent funds ($16.27 billion!) were also built almost entirely from the industry.
This pipeline and any others that are needed should be constructed in a timely manner with all of us picking up the tab through slightly higher rates. The increased economic activity will pay that money back one hundredfold.
But the eventual need of this pipeline extension is actually beside the point.
The federal government is hopelessly dysfunctional. Our "leaders" have shown they are incapable of leading.
The answer is for visionary states to solve the biggest challenges of our time. Creating a market-driven infrastructure for natural gas transportation is one of the most practical and innovative things we can do.
Big solutions aren't born in Washington. They come from towns like Aztec, companies like the Gas Company of New Mexico and Aztec Well Service -- and from leaders in states like the Land of Enchantment.
