This property was once part of the the Ball ranch the famous mason jar canning company. With expanding views in all directions, abundant wildlife and national forest surrounding, this is the place to be to get away from the rush! Breathe in the fresh air at 7200 feet elevation, visit the contenintal divide and the historic Pie Town which is only 12 miles away. Many exciting places to visit Santa Fe is a 3 hour drive and Silver City is about 2.5 hours away. The Cibola and Gila national forest surround this property. This is a central place to stay yet feels very rural and serene. Learn more about this land: Pitch your tent or park your camper beneath the dark starlit skies in awe inspiring high desert New Mexico. This is why they call New Mexico the land of enchantment. This property features a fully fenced 19 acres with rolling terrain surround by cedar, juniper and piñon pine trees. It is approx 3 miles of gravel and dirt roads heading north off of HWY 60 so if riding a bicycle a low vehicle or riding a motorcycle be aware that there are sometimes washboards and during monsoon season roads do get muddy. There is magnificent south facing views where you can see for miles and at night the stars seem to touch the ground. The sunrises and sunsets are spectacular with an array of colors that will take a persons breath away. This is a place to unwind from the busy hustle and bustle. You can listen to coyotes howling, owls hooting, and other birds and animals instead of city noise. We own horses and can even take you on a trail ride.

Private and serene

I’ve never before experienced such absolute quiet at night!! So refreshing! The site was spacious and felt completely private. Jennifer is a lovely person and gracious host - I hope to have a chance to visit again sometime.

We loved our stay here! The sweeping views and the solitude are amazing! The sky opened up at night and the show of the night sky was unbelievable. This will be a regular spot for us when we’re in the area.

Jennifer was an amazing host. She allowed us to stay at her amazing property with just short notice. It was perfect for our road trip that lead us through the NM area. Her property is as advertised, perfect to let our 2 dogs loose off lease, while star gazing under the night skies. We felt safe and secure, and would highly recommend her to fellow travelers. Thanks Jennifer!!

Lovely Energy Up Here!

My dog Zephyr and I just loved the little piece of paradise Miss Jennifer has carved out for herself to share with us Hipcampers. We felt super safe here ~ had all our needs met from the cute toilet, the generous water spigot, creatively placed solar lights along a rock-lined path, abundance of trees, views, and beauty around and that awesome fire-pit, it totally made my night when my fire ignited 30 minutes after my 48 failed attempts! 😄 The next morning, had the best time chatting her up about The Land and the vision! Thank you so much to her and her super sweet dog family!! Highly recommend.
