Christensen Properties by Realty One of New Mexico Proudly Presents:

Can a Tijeras Fixer-Upper Be the Affordable Path to a Mountain Home?

Summary

For buyers searching for a Tijeras NM home with acreage, mountain views and renovation potential, a new opportunity offers something increasingly difficult to find: space, privacy and the ability to create value through renovation. Priced to reflect its current condition, this three-bedroom mountain property invites homeowners, investors and experienced renovators to look beyond move-in-ready housing and consider what is possible.

TIJERAS, NEW MEXICO — A Mountain Property Ready for a New Vision

Christensen Properties by Realty One of New Mexico proudly presents 6 Sedillo Rd., Tijeras, NM 87059, a three-bedroom, two-bath mountain home offering approximately 2,880 square feet on 1.72 private acres, currently offered at $230,000.

The property is being sold AS IS and requires substantial renovation. That is not being hidden—it is the opportunity.

For a buyer willing to renovate, 6 Sedillo Rd. offers the chance to purchase the setting first and create the home second.

Imagine large picture windows framing the surrounding mountains. Morning coffee from a wraparound porch. Friends and family gathering around a terrace fire pit as the sun disappears behind the hills.

A separate garage and workshop provides additional room for vehicles, tools, hobbies or workspace, with potential for additional finished living space above, subject to zoning, permitting, septic capacity and other governmental requirements.

And unlike many remote mountain properties, the home offers convenient access to I-40 and Albuquerque, giving buyers the privacy of a Tijeras mountain property without completely disconnecting from the city.

A Fixer-Upper for Buyers Who See Potential

This property is not intended to compete with fully renovated Tijeras homes for sale.

It offers a different proposition.

Rather than paying another homeowner for completed improvements, the next owner can determine what gets renovated, how it gets designed and where the renovation dollars are spent.

That may appeal to an owner-occupant looking for a fixer-upper near Albuquerque, a contractor or experienced renovator, or a real estate investor evaluating a potential rehabilitation project.

Investors should independently evaluate renovation costs, resale values and potential profit. No future value or investment return is guaranteed.

What Tijeras Home Buyers Are Asking

Can I finance a fixer-upper and the renovations together?

Potentially.

Buyers should ask their lender about renovation home loans rather than assuming a property needing substantial work must automatically be purchased with cash.

One option is the FHA 203(k) Rehabilitation Mortgage, which can allow qualified buyers to combine the purchase of a home and eligible renovation expenses into one mortgage.

Another potential option is Fannie Mae HomeStyle Renovation financing, which can incorporate eligible repair and remodeling costs into a conventional mortgage.

Loan eligibility depends on the borrower, property, proposed improvements, appraisal, contractor requirements and participating lender.

Ask about renovation home loans before assuming this home is outside your reach.

Is 6 Sedillo Rd. move-in ready?

No.

The home requires significant rehabilitation and is being sold AS IS. Buyers should complete thorough inspections, obtain renovation estimates and evaluate the property based upon their own plans and financial resources.

Why buy a fixer-upper in Tijeras instead of a renovated home?

For the right buyer, renovation can create something a finished home cannot: control.

The buyer chooses the kitchen, flooring, windows, mechanical systems, finishes and layout improvements instead of paying a premium for someone else's choices.

More importantly, the approximately 1.72-acre setting, mountain views, privacy and location already exist. Those are features that cannot simply be remodeled into an ordinary subdivision home.

Can the space above the garage become an apartment or guest quarters?

There is potential for additional finished space above the detached garage/shop, but any future residential use would be subject to applicable zoning, building permits, septic requirements and governmental approval. Buyers should independently verify their intended use before purchasing.

Is Tijeras a reasonable option for someone who works in Albuquerque?

For buyers wanting a mountain lifestyle while maintaining access to Albuquerque, 6 Sedillo Rd. offers convenient access to Interstate 40, making the property worth considering for commuters who want more land, privacy and separation from the city.

The Opportunity Is in What Comes Next

A finished home shows buyers what someone else created.

A property like 6 Sedillo Rd. asks a different question:

What could you create here?

The Seller welcomes offers and invites serious buyers, renovators and investors to explore the possibilities.

Private property. All showings must be scheduled in advance through the listing broker.
