Affordable 2BR/2BA on a level acre with workshop-ready garage
Sales comparison approach using similar manufactured homes on 1-acre lots in Mimbres area. Adjusted for age, condition, and garage size.
The first thing you notice about 9 Wright Road is the scale of the lot — a full, level acre that gives this modest manufactured home room to breathe and room for projects. A substantial 4-car detached garage sits on the property, ideal for a collector, hobbyist, or anyone needing clear-span storage and a workshop bay. The metal roof and straightforward single-story footprint reflect practical, low-maintenance choices that suit the rhythms of rural life here in the Mimbres Valley.
Inside, the home offers two bedrooms and two bathrooms across roughly 1,008 square feet. The layout is functional and lived-in: a central living area opens to a basic kitchen and dining nook, flanked by bedrooms at opposite ends for privacy. Heating is handled by a forced-air gas system; there is no central cooling installed. Utilities are self-reliant — a private well and septic system serve the property while propane supplies gas appliances. Condition is described as average for a 1976 manufactured home, presenting clear opportunities for cosmetic updates, system refreshes, and personalization.
Location is quietly commanding without feeling remote. The Mimbres River is roughly a mile away and the Gila National Forest is about five miles from the property, putting fishing, hiking and dispersed outdoor recreation within easy reach. Lake Roberts and other high-desert scenery are accessible for weekend excursions. For buyers seeking an attainable foothold in Grant County, this property combines a very practical garage/land package with a comfortable, compact home.
Market guidance: valuation modeling places the property between $180,000 and $240,000 with a midpoint near $210,000 — an estimate informed by nearby manufactured-home sales. Comparable closers include a nearby manufactured residence that sold for $159,500 and a larger home on a 1.35-acre parcel that sold for $215,000. Expect rural market pace here: properties average longer marketing periods than urban areas, and buyers in this price band are often local owner-occupants or investors seeking rental income or a renovation project. If you value outdoor access, privacy, and ample garage space over metropolitan conveniences, 9 Wright Road is a practical, economical entry to the Mimbres lifestyle.
9 Wright Road, Mimbres, NM 88049
Mimbres is a quiet, rural valley community defined by wide skies and outdoor access rather than urban amenities. Residents prize proximity to the Gila National Forest, the local river corridor, and a slower pace — ideal for anglers, hikers, and people who work with their hands. Services and shopping are limited locally; many errands route through Silver City and neighboring towns. Schools are part of Cobre Consolidated Schools; families often weigh schooling options carefully given the small-school environment. The neighborhood appeals to buyers seeking privacy, land, and easy access to regional recreation.
Very good outdoor access: Gila National Forest is about 5 miles away, the Mimbres River sits roughly 1 mile from the property, and Lake Roberts (fishing/boating) is within 10 miles — strong options for hiking, fishing, and camping.
Mimbres and the broader Grant County market lean toward a buyer-friendly environment by rural standards. Sales activity is limited and properties often stay on market longer than urban averages — the local metric shows an average days on market near 156. Median sale price in the 88049 area is roughly $195,000, with recent comparable manufactured-home sales ranging from about $159,500 to $215,000. Inventory levels are low but turnover is slow; that typically translates to cautious pricing and negotiation room for buyers who can wait out the market. Manufactured homes and smaller single-family parcels in the area generally trade at lower price-per-square-foot rates than site-built housing, and they attract a mix of owner-occupants and investors seeking affordable entry points. For sellers, realistic pricing and targeted marketing to regional buyers (those who value outdoor recreation and workshop/garage space) will shorten time on market. For buyers, the present conditions offer opportunity: reasonable list-to-value alignment, a wide valuation band ($180K–$240K), and comparables that support both conservative offers and renovation upside. Verify condition, utilities, and septic/well functionality during inspection — those systems materially affect value in rural deals.
