Habitat

This Scenic Loop ranch is dominated by mile high grasslands of Cane Bluestem, Blue Gramma, and Sideoats Gramma with diverse native Emory Oaks, Gray Oaks, Alligator Juniper, and Pinion Pine, typical vegetation of high elevation desert mountains. Cool nights, warm days and the first of the desert monsoonal rainfalls make the mesa a lush green paradise in the spring and throughout the summer.

Wildlife

Wildlife in the Davis Mountains is abundant. Big mule deer, white-tail, elk, and smaller animals and bird species such as javelina, fox, ringtail cat, and the unusual Montezuma quail abound in the mountains. Hummingbirds and migrant songbirds fly through the area on semi-annual migrations and are attracted to the extensive native plant gardens in the courtyard and around the property making this a birding paradise. Native trees, brush and grasses provide excellent habitat for these game and non-game species. Surrounded by nature, one can pursue activities like photography, astronomy, hiking, painting, or meditation by simply walking out the door.
