If you’re one who looks forward to that week or two a year away from the city to ski, golf, boat, fish or experience one of the many things you love to do, why not put what you love at the center of your life rather than in a one or two-week “vacation box”? If you can work from home, you can work from anywhere, or better yet, from somewhere incredible, like Turtleback Mountain Resort in Sierra County, New Mexico. Here are 5 great reasons to make that happen!

- Flexibility to Work on Your Time, Play on Your Time
Getting the job done is important but doesn’t need to fit a nine-to-five schedule. When you live where there’s a plethora of outdoor activities to choose from, splitting your time between work and play is not only possible – it’s healthy! You’ll feel more vibrant and relaxed, you’ll stay fit, and you’ll definitely feel more fulfilled. Why not spend a morning fishing or playing golf, hitting the trails on your mountain bike or OHV in the afternoon, or heading north to snow ski all day long. With 112 “awake hours” each week, you’ll have plenty of wiggle room to balance 40 hours of work with 72 hours of play!
- Views You Won’t Find in the City
There’s no doubt that city lights can be beautiful… but when is the last time you saw the Milky Way… snow-capped mountains a hundred miles away… picture-perfect sunrises and sunsets… or stunning turquoise skies day in and day out? Big city lights are something we can’t offer, but clean air, clear views and a clear connection to the beauty of nature are what you’ll get in exchange.

- Workouts that Take You Someplace Real
Working out in a gym is great but simply can’t compare to workouts that take you someplace real. Trade in that stuffy gym workout to kayak or paddle board along Elephant Butte Lake’s 200 miles of shoreline… hike through the Caballo Mountain Range’s rugged canyons and up slopes that reveal jaw-dropping views… mountain bike through the stunningly beautiful Gila Mountains… swing your clubs through 18 holes of golf… or reel in a 20-pound catch. Those are workouts you’ll look forward to!
- Resort Living 365 Days a Year
Your luxurious new custom-built home at Turtleback Mountain Resort will offer views of the golf course, mountains, and our high desert landscapes and wildlife, which you’ll also enjoy as you relax and socialize at our restaurant, bar and expansive patio. And here’s the clincher. We’ll soon see the addition of world-class, mind-blowing amenities that will elevate Turtleback Mountain Resort to one of, if not THE most sought-after resort community in the nation.

- A Combination You Won’t Find Anywhere Else
Unique is an overused word, but it certainly fits Turtleback Mountain Resort. There’s literally no other place in the world that offers a similar experience. Spaceport America, White Sands National Monument, City of Rocks, Very Large Array, Gila Cliff Dwellings, Carlsbad Caverns, Catwalk Recreation Area, Acoma Pueblo, Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta, Sandia Peak Tram, Sandia Peak Ski Area, Ski Apache, several ghost towns, and two historic forts are all easy day trips from the resort, as are Albuquerque and Las Cruces. It takes less than five minutes to reach Elephant Butte Lake, New Mexico’s largest… less than ten minutes to kayak or float down the Rio Grande… and less than fifteen minutes to soak in our area’s world-renowned hot springs or hike and bike in the mountains. Our landscapes include the Caballo Mountain Range, the Black Range, the Chihuahuan high desert and our own lush green valley and golf course, punctuated by several stunning mesas and sapphire blue ponds. All that, in combination with our soon-to-be built world-class amenities, clearly make Turtleback Mountain Resort a truly unique destination and a most inspiring place to live, work, and play.
