This house is located in the heart of the Mesilla Valley, in Las Cruces, NM. The Mesilla Valley is known for the Rio Grande flowing through the middle of the valley with the majestic Organ Mountains rising to the east. The topography is rich with agricultural land that yields pecans, onions, cotton and other produce, but its real fame is growing the best-tasting green chile in the world.

Las Cruces offers many attractions. It is blessed with great weather with an average of 350 days of sunshine a year. It is near the historic town of "Old Mesilla". Since it's beginning, around 1848, Mesilla has had a major influence on the economic, cultural, historical, and political life of the Mesilla Valley. From the Gadsden Purchase, to the Civil War, to the Butterfield Stage Coach Trail, to the trial of Billy the Kid, to being a lively social center in the 1880s--Mesilla has been a prominent part of the rich history of the Southwest. In Old Mesilla you can shop for Southwest jewelry, pottery, pewter, candles, stoneware, apparel, gifts, curios, and crafts at the Thunderbird, and Mariposa stores, or simply visit a museum or gallery of fine art. Old Mesilla also offers fine dining at La Posta, a world renowned restaurant, which offers Mexican Food and steaks in an atmosphere that is rich in history and culture.

This house including the Japanese antique furniture and decor, which would make an ideal vacation investment home, is for sale by owner. Call Esther Rios at (575) 522-7483, or (800) 471-5916, or email Esther Rios at estherrios@yahoo.com.
