About the host

Tom Barry is a writer and policy analyst associated with the Center for International Policy, specializing in U.S.-Mexico issues.

Why they chose this property

We came to Pinos Altos in 1996 because we didn't want to raise our children or spend the rest of our lives in a big city (Albuquerque) -- and because we have always lover this part of New Mexico for its climate, Gila National Forest, and the vibrant small town of Silver City. Our property, which we bought with friends, is on the edge of Pinos Altos (about 250 people, 7 miles from Silver City, and 1,000 ft. higher). We built a beautiful straw-bale and adobe passive-solar home with a view of the Pinos Altos range. We can bike, hike, and occasionally cross-country sky directly from our home, as you can from our cottage.

What makes this property unique

* Tranquility, quiet, views of mountains.
* Easy access to the services of an urban area, with good restaurants, university, music, etc.
* Array of biking, hiking opportunities out your door.
* Base to visit Gila Cliff Dwellings, City of Rocks, Gila Wilderness, Gila River, and Lake Roberts.
