    Enjoy elevated mountain living in this inspirational lifestyle custom home, built in 2024 by Green Mountain Construction. Set across three original lots combined into one expansive parcel in Skywater, one of Cloudcroft’s premier sustainable communities, this property offers privacy, remarkable scenery, and an extraordinary mountain lifestyle. Step outside into fresh mountain air beneath vibrant blue skies and billowing white clouds, with the beauty of the Lincoln National Forest surrounding you. Sweeping views encompass forested mountains and stretch west toward the Tularosa Basin. Elk, deer, wild horses, and hummingbirds are frequent visitors, adding to a setting that feels worlds away from the bustle of everyday life. Thoughtfully designed to complement its surroundings, the home features beautiful slate tile flooring, quality craftsmanship, and an impressive interior fireplace that anchors a warm, inviting retreat. Views throughout the home connect indoor living with the landscape beyond. Two covered tiled patios and Trex decking on the first level offer exceptional spaces for morning coffee, entertaining, colorful sunsets, and stargazing beneath brilliant mountain night skies where constellations shine clearly overhead. Sustainability meets modern convenience with a rainwater collection system and a whole-home generator for added peace of mind. A main-level washer and dryer enhance everyday comfort, while the spacious side yard provides dedicated RV parking with full hookups. Nearby National Forest lands and open meadows invite outdoor exploration in Cloudcroft’s refreshing high-elevation climate, while a beautiful nearby golf course offers another way to enjoy the mountain setting. Just a short walk away, Burro Avenue, the local brewery, and distillery, winery, shopping, dining, and Village attractions bring the charm of an authentic, historic mountain town within easy reach. Enjoy live music, local gathering places, and the welcoming spirit of a small-town community. Beautifully crafted and environmentally thoughtful, this distinctive Skywater residence offers a rare opportunity to embrace spectacular views, peaceful nights, and the natural beauty that makes Cloudcroft so special.
