Property Description
Undeveloped Land encompassing the southeast corner of the signalized intersection of US Highways 54, 70, 82 and the Alamogordo Relief Route. Highway 54 extends south 90 miles to the international sister-cities of El Paso, Texas and Juarez, Mexico, and it extends northeast over 1000 miles, through Oklahoma, Kansas and Missouri, and into Illinois. Highway 82 extends over 1600 miles east, from Alamogordo to Georgia’s Atlantic coast. US Highway 70 extends west 300 miles into central Arizona, and Highway 70 extends east 2000 miles to eastern North Carolina. This 24 acre corner location forms the entrance into Alamogordo for traffic from the mountain resort areas of Cloudcroft and Ruidoso, NM, which attracts tremendous tourist traffic with summer and winter outdoor recreational activities, beginner to world-class snow skiing, horse racing at Ruidoso Downs and gambling at the Inn of the Mountain Gods on the Mescalero Apache Reservation. Highway 54 brings semi-truck traffic through the area en-route to the El Paso-Juarez International Border Crossing.

24 acre purchase - 1,045,440 square feet - $1,750,000 - $1.67/square foot
Utilities
This property is within the City Limits. City utilities were recently extended to the new McDonald’s restaurant, approximately 100 yards south of this property. This location is well positioned for sewer access because the southwest corner of this property, the closest portion of the property to the McDonald’s Restaurant sewer main, is the lowest point of the entire tract, assuring access for sewer service to building locations throughout the entire 24 acres.
Zoning
C-3 Commercial
Access & Easements
This property has substantial frontage on Highways 54/70 and on Highway 82, to provide multiple locations for accesses to-and-from both of these major thoroughfares, and for highly-visible signage.
There is an existing drainage flow path along the south, lower boundary of this property, which feeds into a drainage culvert under Highway 54/70. This existing drainage can be beneficial for engineered drainage plans, required for all new construction.
The front two acres at the highway intersection has a traffic visibility easement over it to preserve visibility for traffic merging from Highways 70 and 82. This easement was condemned by the NM Highway department in the 1950’s, fifty years before the signalized traffic light was installed at this intersection, minimizing the need for such visibility easement. However, it is still of record. Therefore, no buildings can be constructed on these two acres, which can be used for landscaping, parking and signage that do not block the view of oncoming traffic.
