I am considering buying 20 to 30 acres thirty minutes SE of Magdalena, NM. I am unsure of how far I will have to run the electrical line but it could be as much as a quarter of a mile. I'm curious how much that would cost to run the electrical from the pole to the house. Anyone with information, please do share. I need to have an idea on what I'm looking at. Thankyou!

Unless you're planning on building a factory or a subdivision, I don't think a power line extension is a very good idea. You're looking at, minimum, hundreds of thousands of dollars just for the line, not including stuff at the terminals. And that's for clear level ground, which I suspect you don't have available to the lot. Multiply the cost by 5 or more to put in underground cabling. And the whole enterprise will require maintenance.
Consider, alternatively, a solar and battery system. For $30k and perhaps $1k in maintenance each year (including backup generator), you can live off-grid and laugh at occasional power outages faced by your on-grid neighbors. You also won't ugly up the horizon with your electrical service; I imagine the views are a big part of the reason for buying the land.

We bought in Catron county. Pie Town. Our subdivision has electric to road so from road to cabin was about 2 grand. Hope this helps. We use solar and propane and electric.
