Tin Roofed Cabin-White Sands

Beautiful property surrounded by mountains and canyons. It's a hiker's paradise and with cooler weather will be perfect! It was raw land but with many years of hard work it is finally looking awesome and is ready to share the love. Many local places to explore for the true "Hippie Hiker" or artist. 


The property has a giant valley wash running through. On the other side, you can see White Sands National Park.

Really cool cacti (I think?) on the property.

The cabin at night... made for a great place to eat dinner.

The White Sands National Monument...Just a few miles to the west, but you can see the dunes from the place...

We are a primitive site with safe well water drawn from a sandstone bed. Walking distance to National Forest and 8 miles from Cloudcroft.  Free-roaming horses, elk, mule deer, whitetail, turkey, and all critters in between. Awesome sunsets and perfect for stargazing.
