Rancho Verde Story: Part 8 – The Builders
Rancho Verde is a phased residential lot sub-division currently offering Phase 4 lots of 1+ acre on very buildable terrain with sweeping view lots, including those of the Sandia Mountains. Services include paved roads, electricity, high quality water, high speed internet and a sensible Homeowners Association (annual dues are currently only $76 and have been under $80 for 20+ years).
Rancho Verde is located 20 minutes east of Albuquerque, NM via I-40, a highway that experiences minimal congestion and provides a direct and relaxing commute in the mornings and evenings.
Three recommended builders who have had actual experience building homes in Rancho Verde and the East Mountains are:
1) John Lowe of Panorama Homes. John is a long time Albuquerque resident and graduate of Engineering from the University of New Mexico as well as being the third generation of his family fully engaged in the construction business. John features a unique design and build approach which delivers his customers the vision they have for their home. John has built in Rancho Verde and currently has a custom home under construction in Phase 4.
