Property Description

Set within the Dark Skies enclave of Mayhill/Cloudcroft, this exceptional 3.3-acre mountain estate offers a rare opportunity to own a purpose-built astronomy retreat bordering the natural beauty of the Lincoln National Forest. Designed for those who value privacy, space, and the extraordinary, this residence seamlessly blends refined mountain living with a truly unique stargazing experience, taking full advantage of one of the region’s most coveted dark sky environments. The lower level welcomes you with ground-level entry and a fully self-contained living space, ideal for guests or extended stays, featuring a secondary kitchen, private office, two bedrooms, a full bath, and a spacious gathering area perfect for entertaining or private relaxation. A covered patio extends the living experience outdoors, offering a peaceful setting surrounded by forest. The upper level reveals the heart of the home, where an inviting living area flows effortlessly into a well-appointed kitchen with granite countertops and generous workspace. A guest bedroom and full bath provide comfort and convenience, while the primary suite offers a private retreat complete with an en-suite bath, expansive walk-in closet, and tiled walk-in shower. An expansive deck off the main living area captures the essence of mountain living, ideal for quiet mornings, sunset views, and evening gatherings under crisp, star-filled skies. A defining element of this property is its dedicated observatory infrastructure, including both a dome and roll-off structure for telescopes — a rare and highly specialized feature designed for serious enthusiasts and those seeking an unparalleled connection to the night sky. Encompassing 3.3 acres, the property offers a sense of seclusion and scale that is increasingly difficult to find, with direct access to outdoor recreation and the surrounding forest landscape. Opportunities to acquire a property of this caliber, combining acreage, architectural flexibility, and purpose-built astronomy amenities, are exceptionally limited in the Cloudcroft/Mayhill area.
