Secluded neighborhood near natural areas
Located 7 miles from Las Cruces, Picacho Hills offers custom homes with mountain views near the Picacho Hills Country Club. “The neighborhood is perched up on a hill, and it has breathtaking panoramic views of the Organ Mountains,” says Yvonne Rodriguez, a Realtor with Prosper Real Estate who’s sold homes in Las Cruces since 2001. With one road into the neighborhood, residents here enjoy being farther from the city and closer to natural areas like the Picacho Peak Recreation Area. Nearby houses of worship include Fairacres Baptist Church and Faith Community.

Custom homes with mountain views
Picacho Hills’ custom homes blend Southwestern style, including stucco exteriors, clay-tiled roofs and xeriscaping, with modern touches like floor-to-ceiling windows and attached garages. “Some of the most exquisite architect-designed homes are in this neighborhood,” Rodriguez says. Homes typically range from 1,600 to 5,000 square feet, and while most were built in the 21st century, homes from the 1980s and ‘90s can be found around the Picacho Hills Country Club’s golf course. Most lots are one-third of an acre and feature pools and large patios for enjoying the mountain views; the few homes set on over an acre are some of the neighborhood’s most expensive. Prices typically range from $365,000 to $975,000, depending on home and lot size. The Picacho Mountain, Coronado Ridge and Butterfield Ridge subdivisions have homeowners associations; residents here can expect to pay $42 to $118 in monthly fees that cover landscaping and maintenance costs.
Picacho Hills also features a gated community with large, custom built homes.
