3601 Thunder Rd, Alamogordo, NM 88310

This lot offers expansive views stretching 80 miles, overlooking Alamogordo, the Tularosa Basin to the west, the New Mexico Museum of Space History, and Indian Wells Canyon to the north. The northern boundary adjoins the Lincoln National Forest. The valley north of the subdivision is National Forest Property, ensuring an expansive, undeveloped view of Indian Wells Canyon, named for the Native American hand-ground wells in the stone. The White Sands National Park, featuring the whitest sand dunes in America, and the San Andres Mountain range are visible in the distance. The combination of lots 16-17 would create a remarkable homesite. Canyon Hills subdivision is located within Otero County, outside the Alamogordo City Limits, so municipal city water and sewer services are not available. Owners install their own state-approved septic system. For over 60 years, water has been provided by the Canyon Hills Area Water Users Association, which owns two water wells. Each lot owner has one share in the water system. Prior to construction, the lot owner pays a hook-up fee, currently $250. Installation of the water meter, provided by the Association, is the responsibility of the lot owner and must be performed by an approved New Mexico- Licensed Plumber. Water is billed base upon consumption. Desert landscaping is encouraged. The 2025 property tax was $300. Otero County will assign an exact street address upon issuance of a building permit.
