Hello ddadio,
I have recently talked to Val Tabor at the Valley Improvement Association (VIA) and there is nothing happening in Rio Del Oro. I have 2 adjoining lots in Unit 8 and expect to hold them for quite some time.
I have a website at
Rio Del Oro Land Association and try to keep things posted as to what is going on.
One of the "problems" is that, unless you have at least 3 adjoining lots (3/4 acre) you cannot have a well and standard septic system for a dwelling - you cannot build on anything smaller. There are some special septic disposal systems, approved by the New Mexico Dept. of Environment, that would allow building on less land. I am looking into this at present.
Stay in touch - keep checking the website above.
All the best.
