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.

Site 1 - High Desert Magic
The site was exactly as described, with a nice view and all of the amenities. The little touches like the solar lights marking the path to the privy and night were really cool. The solar shower was also super nice and helped take the edge off the sweaty day on the motorcycle funk. I would definitely recommend this site .

Photos not at all representative of location. Gate was closed, nobody there to greet us. Knew I was at the right place, I could see the sign for sites from the street. Did not spend the night at this location.

Great spot
I loves Jennifer’s property! She was super hospitable and the views were killer, especially at night. The whole property is fenced in which made it feel more secure from night critters. Lots of juniper trees plus a solar shower and outhouse. It was super hot so I will be back in the fall for sure!! Thank you for the great experience!

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.
