Discover the Manzano Morning Subdivision

True to its name, this welcoming subdivision bursts with natural beauty. A vibrant mix of evergreen and deciduous trees, plus colorful yucca, cacti, sagebrush, and native grasses, creates a stunning landscape that’s home to deer and other wildlife. You’ll spot their trails—and maybe a few fluffy tails—wandering through the scenery.

Even better, the property borders the breathtaking Cibola National Forest, offering extra privacy and a front-row seat to nature’s wonders. This biodiverse paradise, with its rolling grasslands and rugged mountains, is home to white-tail and mule deer, pronghorn antelope, elk, mountain lions, and turkeys. From late August to early November, the Manzano Mountains Raptor Migration Project brings the skies to life with sharp-shinned hawks, Cooper’s hawks, red-tailed hawks, and turkey vultures soaring above.

Adventure Awaits!

New Mexico is an outdoor lover’s dream! Whether you’re into fishing, kayaking, skiing, hiking, birdwatching, or camping, there’s something for every season. Big game hunters can try their luck with BLM hunting draws or guided hunts for exotic oryx and ibex—New Mexico is the only state with free-range exotics! When you’re not relaxing at your private retreat, watching deer or marveling at vibrant sunsets, you’re just a short drive (under 3 hours) from endless adventures, unique shopping, and exciting entertainment.
