Ever dream of chucking a pumpkin through a sling shot? You can actually do this in the wide-open spaces of the Estancia Valley! You can also do any manner of business in this large, high plains region on the east side of the Sandia Mountains. The Estancia Valley encompasses seven communities including Edgewood, Encino, Estancia, Moriarty, Mountainair, Tijeras and Willard, which are all located in Torrance or Southern Santa Fe counties. These communities offer a rural, Western lifestyle alongside a growing business sector competing in the global economy. Estancia Valley is also home to manufacturers such as Magnum Steel Buildings, technology enterprises and renewable energy companies like WeckTech and Precision Solar Technologies Corporation, and businesses needing large amounts of land such as High Lonesome Mesa, a 100-megawatt wind farm owned by Edison Mission Group. Additionally, because of special climate conditions in the region, soaring (also known as gliding) draws enthusiasts year round and is offered by companies like Sundance Aviation. The Estancia Valley provides the visitor and resident a truly unique experience combining a rural lifestyle with cutting-edge business opportunities.
