Ponderosa de Mesilla

Welcome to Ponderosa de Mesilla! Located in the sunny southwest, the Mesilla Valley is an ideal place to live, work and enjoy activities with family and friends. Horse enthusiasts will enjoy a horseback riding trail by the Rio Grande River, which starts right at the front of the property. Stalls, pasture, exercise arena, roping arena, home grown organic horse food and filtered water available upon request.

Mesilla and its adjoining city of Las Cruces have all the features a growing, thriving community, including a nationally recognized university, national retail outlets and restaurants, and numerous cultural opportunities. With a strong multi-cultural background, Mesilla offers many exciting events rich in the traditions of Mexican American heritage.

Mesilla is the epitome of small-town charm, serving as a great location for afternoon shopping and dining, where award winning cafes and restaurants and unique stores surround the town’s historic plaza. Rich in history, culture and heritage, Mesilla is far from quaint. Art galleries, entertaining events, rich history, unique shops, and delicious cuisine are just a few staples that Old Mesilla has to offer.

Visitors often enjoy the quiet ambiance of the Plaza with the peaceful back drop of the San Albino Basilica. Just north of town visitors have even more choices to shop and dine, in what’s known as the town’s Mercado area. The history of the Town boasts everything from the Civil War to Billy the Kid. Visitors can get a brief lesson in history by visiting the Gadsden Museum or by taking a tour with La Morena Walking Tours. For extra fun, tourists may enjoy the multitude of events that occur throughout the year. As Mesilla was once a part of Mexico, the Town is known for its annual Cinco de Mayo and Diez y Seis de Septiembre Fiestas, and the Gadsden Purchase Re-enactment which celebrate significant dates in the Mexican culture. The Town also hosts several events throughout the year including a weekend long celebration of Dia de Los Muertos, Jazz, and Mariachi concerts, in the plaza and the popular lighting of luminarias on Christmas Eve. Art galleries, entertaining events, rich history, unique shops, and delicious cuisine are just a few staples that Old Mesilla has to offer.

The Mesilla Valley and nearby Las Cruces features many outdoor recreational activities due to its year-round temperate climate. With an average of 340 days of sunshine and an average high temperature in January of 59 degrees, virtually every week of the year offers great golfing at four local golf courses. There are over 90 city parks and the recreation areas in the adjoining Organ Mountains offer hiking and trail bike riding just minutes away. For other outdoor enthusiasts, winter sports, summertime camping, hunting, horseback riding and fishing are within easy driving distance.

The Las Cruces International Airport, 8 miles west of downtown, provides charter, cargo, and general aviation services. Commercial passenger service is available at the El Paso International Airport, 57 minutes from downtown Las Cruces via Interstate 10.

We invite you to experience Ponderosa de Mesilla and more of what the Mesilla Valley has to offer, whether your interest is recreational, or business related.

Home on the range
This property is located on a ranch run by the owners. Gabriele is a very wonderful hostess. Very accommodating with whatever is needed. House is located near the owner's house but still very private. I would definitely recommend this property for anyone who wants to be in Las Cruces or Old Mesilla and still have a great deal of privacy.

Paradise with mountain views
Arriving to the property seeing horses, and the landscape we knew this was a special place. The home is lovely, perfect back patio for both sunrise and evening relaxation. Our group even had business meetings on the patio due to its size and comfort. Our host Gabriele was absolutely amazing, compliments abound from our group. Truly one of the best Vrbo experiences we have had!! Highly recommend in you are in the area.

Perfect getaway
This is the perfect spot for a quiet getaway while still close to everything. We enjoyed quiet evenings around the fire pit out back after wonderful dinners at local restaurants. The host is fantastic and makes you feel right at home. We had a wonderful time exploring las cruces.

Lovely, quiet home with view of the mountains
I stayed at the Ponderosa de Mesilla for the month of February to avoid the cold Pennsylvania winter. Gabriele welcomed my dog and I like old friends and was easily available if I had any questions. The house is beautifully and comfortably decorated and is set back in a quiet area, but still close to shopping and restaurants. It proved to be a great home base to explore all that southern NM and El Paso have to offer. I very much enjoyed watching the horses in the pasture out my window and only wish my horse had been able to join me for this trip. Gabriele went out of her way to make me feel at home and even made me a home cooked meal!
