Ranches of Sonterra – Acreage & Views near Alto, New Mexico

by Mary Weaver on April 21, 2008

The Ranches of Sonterra is a premier acreage community located north of Ruidoso. The subdivision was completed in 1996, and consists of 497 tracts of land, ranging from 5 to 25 acre parcels. Utilities include electricity, telephone, and natural gas in some areas. Each property owner has to install their own well and septic system, but for people looking for a little elbow room without being too far from town, Ranches of Sonterra fits the bill.

Streets are paved, the views are gorgeous and horses are allowed. A minimum of 1,500 sq. ft. and architectural approval are required.

There are currently 30 lots listed in the subdivision ranging from $39,000 – $279,000, with a median price of $89,000. Location, views, slope and size of the lot account for the wide range of prices. Rest assured that the higher priced lots are going to be mostly level, and have killer views. Some of the best “Sierra Blanca” views in the county are visible from Ranches of Sonterra. In my opinion, vacant lots in Ranches of Sonterra are one of the best values in the area,with prices still averaging less than $20,000 per acre.
