About this property

Distinctive Elegance

This exquisite home was built by one of NM’s premier builders of custom homes for his wife and himself. The quality and attention to detail are not usually found in a home available for short term rentals.

Come and relax and enjoy the calming energy of the desert in the 3 bedroom, 2 bath home. High beamed ceilings, Italian tile, and granite counter tops accent the main living area.

Majestic views of the Organ Mountain sunrises, sunset views of Picacho Peak. Watch the city lights come on in the Mesilla Valley.

Dining room features the “traditional latilla ceilings” with authentic straw backing appearing throughout.

Large, open kitchen plan with bar opening to dining room and great room. Great room features incredible views and a kiva fireplace. Dining room offers an original armoire and table hand crafted in Taos, NM.

Master bedroom features mountain views, private exit to outdoor area, huge walk in closet, and intricately installed tile workout in the “Forrest Shower” which features 4 shower heads.

Two additional bedrooms imbibe the “zen like” feeling of the house with traditional (mostly original) southwestern art work and furnishings. Each room features a queen size bed and authentic southwest décor.

Outdoor living room features table for six (plus a smaller side table for four), gas grill, stunning original water feature(fountain), kiva fireplace, and incredible views.

The logistics of the property offer complete privacy both within the residence and in the fenced backyard within this prestigious golf community.

Wireless Internet and cable TV provided (in master bedroom and great room) for the convenience and pleasure of our guests.

Great home with beautiful views
The pictures don’t do the home justice. The views are amazing. And the shower in the main bedroom is amazing! I would for sure stay here again! The property manager was also very responsive and helpful!

Wonderful Property
We enjoyed our extended stay at this lovely property very much and found that every amenity had been provided. The property manager responded promptly to a minor problem and was very congenial. It was quite attractive architecturally and had a fully enclosed back yard with lots of privacy. We so enjoyed the unobstructed Organ mountain views and watching the amazing colors at sunrise and sunset! We would definitely stay here again.

Amazing View and Gorgeous Homr
My husband and I came out to visit our oldest, who is finishing up grad school at NMSU. This house was absolutely perfect - I loved the 3rd bedroom with a built in work station since we both needed to work while in Las Cruces. Lisa is super helpful and even decorated for us which was beautiful and so thoughtful. We loved feeding the birds and watching the fountain. Thanks again for allowing us to stay - it was heavenly. :)

Loved this home!
Pics did not do this home justice. Home is very clean, quiet, and comfortable. Morning sunrise and view of mountains from patio is amazing.! We loved walking the neighborhood. Property management was always available if needed and helped us with recommendations. Would want to stay here again if visiting Las Cruces.
