If you are looking for coffee shops and window shopping, this is NOT the place. This IS the place, however, if you are looking for peace & quiet, and a place to escape and not be found, and witness the diverse cultures and almost "third-world" feel you only find in New Mexico. The casita sits in the middle of 2 acres of desert scrub, at the base of the alluvial fan of Polvadera Peak which rises 2,000 feet above the valley floor, and right across Polvadera Road are the farmlands of the Middle Rio Grande Conservancy District. The irrigation ditch roads make for interesting walks or drives through the valley, and on the opposite side of the highway you see the Polvadera Peak and the range of the Lemitar Mountains with the 10,800 ft high Magdalena Mountains, and if ambitious you can explore San Lorenzo Canyon 6 miles to the NW (5 miles of which require a 4-wheel drive vehicle). Nearby are many interesting sites including the San Acacia Cemetery and Indian Hill for a view of the Rio Grande snaking south through the valley, NM Tech, Socorro, Bosque del Apache, Water Canyon in the Magdalena Mountains, the Village of Magdalena and the VLA, .... Oh my gosh there is a LOT of outdoor stuff to enjoy.

You are approximately 10 miles from Socorro here. The nearest gas station, with a convenience store and a nice diner restaurant, is at the Lemitar exit 3 miles away. Belen is a half-hour to the north and Albuquerque an hour to the north.
