Real Estate in High Rolls, NM
High Rolls is an unincorporated community in Otero County, in the Sacramento Mountains within Lincoln National Forest. At about 6,750 feet, it sits well above the desert floor below.
A mountain orchard community
The area grew from homesteading and farming in the late 1800s, then from tourism after the railroad arrived in 1898. Edgar Cadwallader settled nearby Mountain Park in 1903 to grow fruit and vegetables, and local orchards produced apples, cherries, peaches, and pears. The orchards were successful enough that the post office moved to Mountain Park in 1904.
Historic features include the 1905 High Rolls Mercantile Store and a former hotel. The area is also known as the home of cartoonist Bill Mauldin.
Buying in the mountains
Mountain property comes with its own questions. Access by road, water source, how a property is served by utilities, and conditions in winter are all worth understanding before you buy. Properties near national forest land may also have specific considerations. We can help you ask about each of these.
