Set on 23 acres in Lincoln County, New Mexico, The Lodge at Sonterra Ranch offers privacy, scale, and a mountain setting that supports both full-time living and extended use. Located in the Ranches of Sonterra subdivision, it remains closely connected to the broader Ruidoso area while holding onto the quieter pace that draws people to this part of New Mexico. The home is a 7,385 square foot Lincoln Log custom build finished with cypress logs, giving it a strong visual presence and a style all its own. The layout includes 3 bedrooms with closets, 3 bonus rooms currently used as bedrooms with armoires, 3.5 bathrooms, a 1,773 square foot loft, and a finished 2,180 square foot basement, creating the kind of scale and flexibility that offers both everyday comfort and long-term versatility. The main-floor primary suite includes its own deck access and cathedral ceilings, creating a more private living space within the home. Offered fully furnished, the property allows for immediate use and a smooth transition for the next owner. Water is supplied by both a well and a rain catchment system. The home is located 10 to 15 minutes from the White Mountain Apache ski area and near Ruidoso and area golf amenities, giving it strong year-round recreational appeal. Within Ranches of Sonterra, owners also have access to an owners-only park and entertaining pavilion that follows the river, adding another layer of shared outdoor enjoyment. The Lodge at Sonterra Ranch is well suited for the buyer looking for a substantial mountain home in a setting that supports both recreation and long-term ownership. With no short-term rentals allowed in the subdivision, the community remains oriented toward privacy and a more consistent ownership experience. From a replacement standpoint, the size, finish, and improvements here would be difficult to duplicate at this price point.
