Desert Paradise Mobil Home Park, a smaller, similarly-configured tract, to the east of this property, visible in the aerial photo, has been developed as a mobil home/RV park.

White Sands Missile Range, the US Army’s largest real estate asset in the continental US, is located just west of Holloman, and is dedicated to weapons systems test and evaluation as well as troop training.

White Sands National Park, a magnificent system of pristine white sand dunes, just 12 miles west of Alamogordo, is visited by over 600,000 tourists per year.

This tourist traffic, and the traffic to and from Holloman Air Force Base and White Sands Missile Range, add significantly to the value US Highway 70 offers adjoining properties.
