A touchstone is something that helps you put things into perspective -- to know 24 karat from fool's gold. Our touchstone has been this house in this village of Ruidoso. Located on a quiet cul-de-sac adjoining Moon Mountain, it has a pleasant view of the mountain from the wrap-around deck, a true sense of peace, and a great fulltime neighbor across the street. The house was remodeled extensively in 2002 and has all city utilities. A marble fireplace gives a nice feeling to the LR, while a free standing natural gas stove in the game room makes for warm and cozy nights watching cable TV. Solar tubes make the house light even as it sits amid the tall pines. (We still love the place!)
