Situated high up in the Rolling Hills section of Highland Springs Ranch, this 20+ acre parcel offers excellent vistas and scenic, rolling grazing land. You will find lots of peace and quiet here and beautiful sunset views. At the base of the Magdalena Mountains, this area was once the Pedro Armendaris Land Grant deeded from the King of Spain in 1819. At 5880' in elevation, the skies are clear and the nights are dark and starry. Great place for a weekend retreat or a permanent residence, and excellent location for off grid living. Only 25 minutes to the Bosque del Apache Wildlife Preserve filled with Sandhill Cranes and Snow Geese in the winter months. 40 minutes to Elephant Butte Lake for exceptional water sports and camping, and easy access to Socorro for your shopping and supplies.
