Descriptions

The Vista Del Malpais Ranch, named for its view of the fascinating Valley of Fires lava flow, is nestled on the Tularosa Basin at 5340 ft. elevation in the shadow of two mountain ranges with unobstructed panoramic views. The ranch features 292 acres with water rights, a classic 5 bedroom 4 1/2 bath California-style ranch house, swimming pool, tennis courts and outstanding horse facilities. Perfect for gracious entertaining with the hacienda style courtyard, gallery, library, game room and guest quarters. The design is characterized by beautiful rough cut cedar wood beams and ceilings, brick floors and Italian stone and painted concrete floors, 4 fireplaces and spans an estimated 5776 square feet per the appraisal district. Built by Jackie Spencer, noted area philanthropist and Dow-Jones Industrial heiress who built the famous Spencer Theater.
Horse facilities include two barns, 10 stalls, office, tack room, 4 board-fenced paddocks. The ranch has 5 water wells and is fenced and cross-fenced. Stunning views from every room on the property abound. Any mineral rights will convey as well as the water rights.
This high desert gem has the San Andres Mountain range to the west and Sacramentos to the East, including Sierra Blanca, Nogal Peak and Carrizo. Sunsets and sunrises are incredible.
Wildlife include pronghorn antelope, rare bobcat and badger, jackrabbits, cottontails, kit foxes, one oryx spotted! And tons of bird life – an abundance of quail each year, plus eagles, hawks, all sorts of hummingbirds, roadrunners and other birds. Even flocks of ibis and seagulls have come to the ranch.
