At A Glance

Thirty-three acres, and a sky to match.

A two-bedroom mountain home set alone on roughly thirty-three acres in the Sacramento Mountains, minutes from the Village of Cloudcroft. The square footage is modest by design. The land, the deck, the well, and the private observatory are what make this address singular.

Setting Mountain Acreage

A First Look

Walk it from the deck inward. Grass, glass, and long views.

The home sits high on its own grass clearing, ringed by pines and open to the ridgeline. Inside, vaulted ceilings and light wood floors keep it bright and uncomplicated. Book a private walk-through to feel how the acreage wraps around it.

The wide wood deck running the length of the home, a covered hot tub at the far railing and tall pines beyond under a clear blue sky — The deck, the length of the house. Room to gather, with the covered hot tub waiting at the rail and the pines beyond.

Open kitchen and great room with a vaulted ceiling, track lighting, white cabinets, light wood floors, and a door opening onto the deck — The kitchen, open to the room. A vaulted ceiling, track lighting, and a door straight out to the deck.

Living area under the vault with a Southwestern rug, leather seating, wood-trimmed windows looking into the pine forest, and a wood stove — The living room, under the vault. Wood-trimmed windows frame the pines, with a wood stove for the cold months.

Dining area with an oval wood table and cane-back chairs beneath the vaulted ceiling, three wood-framed windows and a glass door opening to the deck and forest — The dining room reaches for the windows. Three of them, plus a deck door, pull the forest indoors.

The rust-red cabin on its grassy hilltop, green metal roof and wraparound deck catching full sun, ponderosa pines behind and dry mountain grass in the foreground — The house on its clearing. A board-and-batten cabin held high on the grass, with the wraparound deck facing the pines.

Corner of the deck with the covered hot tub at left, looking out over the treetops toward distant mountain ridges — From that same rail, the land falls away to the ridgeline. The view that earns the soak.

“As darkness falls, the true magic begins. The pristine night skies of the Sacramento Mountains make this a stargazer’s paradise.”

The Land

Bought for the acreage. Kept for the sky.

This is roughly thirty-three acres of private mountain land just minutes from the Village of Cloudcroft, with a comfortable two-bedroom, two-bath home set into it. The house is built for relaxed mountain living: vaulted ceilings, light wood floors, a wood stove, and a spacious deck that runs the length of the home for entertaining, outdoor dining, or simply taking in the quiet.

The deck is where the property spends its days. A covered hot tub sits at the railing, and the land falls away toward the ridgeline beyond the pines. The home is served by a private well with its own pump house, so the water is dependable for year-round living. Wildlife is part of the deal here. The listing notes elk, deer, wild turkeys, and the occasional black bear moving across the acreage.

Then the sun goes down. The Sacramento Mountains hold some of the darkest skies in New Mexico, and this property answers them with a private observatory, set up to take in spectacular celestial views from your own land. Whether the goal is a full-time residence, a mountain getaway, or a retreat built for astronomy, this is a one-of-a-kind piece of New Mexico to own. A private walk-through is the way to see it.

The Setting

Cloudcroft, just down the mountain.

Cloudcroft sits high in the Sacramento Mountains of southern New Mexico, a cool-climate village of pines and ridgelines that locals treat as an escape from the desert below. The village proper is minutes away, with its shops, trails, and the historic Cloudcroft golf course nearby.

It is the elevation that defines this place. Clear, dark nights, real seasons, and a quiet that the surrounding national forest protects. The kind of mountain address that holds its meaning for decades.
