Ranch Description
FSBO. Call Doug at or email for info.
This part of the country has a rich history and the land looks much the same as when Billy the Kid lived in the area. This very unique property (with income potential) lies in the Sacramento Mountains, near High Rolls NM. It has been occupied by one family for many years and certainly a private home owner may wish to purchase, but it is also an unparalleled community living opportunity.
The property is surrounded by the Lincoln National Forest - 1.5 million acres of mountains and valleys to nourish your soul. The vistas are spectacular from this property with a clear view of the Tularosa Basin 3000' below and White Sands National Monument clearly visible in the distance. The San Andres Mountains are visible on the horizon about 70 miles to the west.
Above this unique homestead is the rim of the Sacramento Mountains some 1500' higher in elevation.The surrounding wilderness is populated by deer, elk, turkey, bear, fox - all manner of wild animals and birds. It is designated Unit 34, and it's possible to get a land owner elk permit.
There are numerous marked hiking trails in the surrounding territory as well as several observatories. The night skies here are magnificent.
Westside Road runs down one side of the property and is maintained by the US Forest Service. On the other side of that road we have another 16 undeveloped acres which are not part of this sale, and which are negotiable. We are at about 7500 feet elevation.
This large complex consists of three geodesic domes that have been connected to create one sprawling home. It was originally designed as a workshop/retreat space with private quarters attached. It could still be run as a Retreat Center, B&B or Airbnb - we still receive calls for bookings.
The 45' diameter dome contains 4 bedrooms, two of which are spacious lofts. The huge living room has a floor to ceiling height of 27' with numerous skylights giving this part of the house a unique sense of light and dimension.

The smallest dome is 35' diameter and designed to be a fully functional single family home with kitchen, dining and spacious living area on the main floor, plus a loft housing bedroom, study and bathroom with jacuzzi tub. Above the loft is a cupola which is a fantastic art studio as well as offering amazing 360 degree views. The floor to ceiling height is 21' offering a wonderful balance between open atmosphere and cosy corners.
The 3 domes are joined by connectors which offer both privacy from dome to dome as well as additional rooms for storage and work areas. One was used as a pottery room and the tiled kiln area is still there. Another houses tools and equipment. There is no shortage of space here.
There is a well, plus a mountain spring water source which has been supplying the property for 120 years. Water rights allow for domestic and agricultural use, and the permit has been about per year. It is very pure and healthy alkaline water. An extensive septic system was put in place to handle large groups. Electricity comes through the local co-operative, but could be sold back if you wanted to go off grid but keep the line.
