La Campanas' architecture blends into the surrounding
southwestern landscape, and luxurious semi-custom and custom residences come in several styles, including Spanish pueblo,
territorial, contemporary, ranch, log cabin and northern New Mexico
pitched roof. Some are attached homes that allow for
"lock and leave" convenience and others are single-family
homes and grand haciendas, many nestled on one to three acres.
Two bedroom, two bath homes with 1,613 to 2,243 sq. ft. start
in the mid- to high-$500,000s and increase into the high-$800,000s million
range. Homes in the next price bracket have 1,917 to 2,498 sq.
ft. and are priced from the mid-$600,000s to the
low-$900,000s. Million dollar homes and one to three acre home
sites, zoned rural residential, are also for sale. All dwellings adhere to community building guidelines to ensure
that no stray architecture pops up. Call 505-992-6420

Golfers will love the two 18-hole championship golf courses; both
are framed by spectacular scenery and are award-winning. The
Sunrise course has been rated by Golf Digest as the best course in
New Mexico, and the Sunset course has been rated the fifth best
course among new courses in the nation. Two mountain ranges,
the Jemez and the Sangre de Cristo, are just in the distance, and
the 19-acre practice facility, with a three-tiered driving range, a
putting green and two chipping greens, ensures that the play never
ends.
For those with a love of horses and riding, the Equestrian Center
is a delight and houses a riding hall, an outdoor jumping arena, an
all purpose arena and a dressage court. A variety of
breeds are accommodated here, and miles of desert riding trails are
just through the stable gates.
The stunning 46,000 square foot (which is huge) Hacienda
Clubhouse is the nerve center of Las Campanas and the gathering spot
for most social activities, including weddings and private
parties. It is a beautiful space and houses tennis courts, a
spa, pools and exercise facilities.
