The 360,000-acre property, nestled in the crimson Chihuahuan desert, embodies the essence of southern New Mexico. A true invitation to adventure, it offers treks through semi-desert landscapes, with possible encounters with bison, pronghorn, and desert bighorn sheep, and access to the Jornada lava flow, home to one of the largest populations of Mexican free-tailed bats in the U.S.
