While many existing neighborhoods are centered around a golf course, pool or fitness center,
Mesilla Vineyards Estates will feature a working farm. The new 14 Acre farm is surrounded by current homes or new homes sites and will be managed by a professional farmer and horticulturalist.
Much like residents in golf course communities who enjoy the beauty of the course, the residents of the Mesilla Vineyards Estates will share the beauty of a farm. Homeowners will enjoy watching the farm grow local varieties of produce throughout the seasons. It also means they will have access to freshly grown produce for their evening meal. Residents will be able to volunteer and work in the garden if they want to and they will be able to walk down the street and pick up some fresh veggies for their evening meal. Residents will also have access to 'friends and family' pricing form several New Mexico wineries including Noisy River Winery, which is the winery in Ruidoso NM and who buys most of the grapes grown at the mesilla vineyard estate.
The farm will provide a relaxing environment for walks, feature a community gazebo for private use and be an important component of the surrounding environment. As an additional benefit, the local community outside of the Vineyards, may obtain it's fresh produce by a visit to the farm's new store located in Mesilla.
Featuring one & two acre lots stating at $69,900.
