19562 NM 314, Belen, NM 87002

Property Description

A purpose-built, +/-7,000-square-foot controlled-environment building on 1.10 fenced acres of C-2 Community Commercial land, fronting 154.82 feet of NM Highway 314 in the Los Chavez corridor between Belen and Los Lunas. Built out as an indoor cultivation facility, the two-level steel building delivers twenty individually conditioned rooms -- ten on each level, approximately 20' 12' each per prior marketing -- off a central insulated corridor, plus a high-bay lobby with nutrient-tank plumbing, a nutrition room, a pesticide/chemical station, a restroom, and a camera-and-lighting network throughout. Mini-split climate control serves the rooms and 400 amps of electrical service (per prior marketing) powers the operation. Overhead doors on both long elevations, with concrete aprons front and back, give drive-through flexibility few buildings this size offer, and a 50-amp RV hookup, on-site well and septic, natural gas service, and a full 8-foot privacy fence with gated access round out a compound that is ready to work on day one. The location does its own selling. NM 314 carries 10,486 vehicles per day past the frontage (2026 count at Tijeras Road), with I-25 access about 3.5 miles south at Belen and the Belen Rail Runner station roughly the same distance. The two-mile trade area has grown 2.1% per year since 2020 and posts an average household income of $101,730, while 14,389 daytime employees work within ten miles. Valencia County added 7.6% population between 2020 and 2025, propelled by Meta's Los Lunas data-center campus, Amazon's one-million-square-foot fulfillment center, Pacific Fusion's new plant, a $50-million county hospital under construction, and the first new subdivisions in Belen in decades. Zoned C-2 by Valencia County (Code 154.121; county GIS zoning record), the property supports cannabis retail as a permitted use and cultivation under county licensing, along with greenhouses and nurseries, indoor recreation, veterinary hospitals, professional offices, retail with incidental production, hotel or motel, and small-building self-storage -- options well beyond cultivation: mushroom or microgreen production, a veterinary or boarding operation, a contractor's headquarters, a lab, or twenty lockable, conditioned suites. The adjoining 2.07-acre tract to the north is held by the same ownership and is not part of this offering. The power, plumbing, climate control, security and fencing are already in place. What is left is to move in.
