Here’s a new hideout for any golf-loving refugee from the big city and ‘burbs: The Outlaw at Lincoln Hills golf-course community located among the pine-covered slopes, high-country meadows and rock outcrops of Alto, New Mexico, some 10 miles northeast of the town of Ruidoso. Spread over nearly 500 acres, the property sits on an elevated point more than 7,000 feet above sea level, with striking views of the dramatic snowcapped Sierra Blanca and Capitan Mountains.
The Outlaw’s golf course is gunning for a soft opening on May 1. Designed by John LaFoy, the 6,881-yard course is a target-style course, with strategically placed landing areas in the fairways and with native grasses and natural landscaping spanning the carry area. Construction of the clubhouse is under way.
The gated community will be limited to 235 home sites, ranging between 1 to 9 acres, with an average of 1.4 acres. There are 150 golf-course lots, many with views of the surrounding mountain ranges. Each lot owner will be rewarded with a membership in the exclusive Outlaw Club, with total membership to be limited to 550 members including social members. ?>
Within view of the property is the Spencer Theater for the Performing Arts, which presents touring Broadway shows, concerts and dance performances; also close at hand are the table games at the Inn of the Mountain Gods Casino.
Further afield—actually, all around you in Lincoln County—is horseback riding, fishing, ATV trails, rock-climbing and all the pastimes of summer in the mountains. In winter, there’s cross-country skiing as well as the groomed powder slops at Ski Apache. The area is also home to Ruidoso Downs, which offers horse racing from Memorial Day through Labor Day, including the world’s richest quarterhorse race.

Time is money, as they say, and for savvy investors whose time is precious, often the best use of both is through fractional ownership, be it of a private jet, luxury yacht or increasingly, real estate. Why not purchase only as much of an asset as you intend to use? The argument becomes even more convincing when the asset in question is Paramonte, 19 luxurious, fully furnished Private Residences to be built adjacent to the Lodge & Spa at Cordillera. The Paramonte Private Residences will share the Lodge’s sweeping views of the Vail Valley—and the many services and amenities of this world-class hotel property. Approximately 1,900 sq. ft. of high-end design, each residence will have three bedrooms, each with en suite bathrooms, granite kitchens with custom cabinets, fireplaces in three rooms as well as one outside on the large, private deck.
The first fractional ownership opportunity in Cordillera, the Paramonte Private Residences will be offered in one-eighth shares, with homeowners guaranteed a minimum of 28 days per year of use. You can stay as often as you choose, subject to availability, and unlike a time-share deal, no homeowner is permitted to monopolize holidays or other high-demand dates. What’s more, you can rent to whomever you please, allow friends to use your home, sell it to whomever you please or bequeath your share to your heirs. Simply put, Paramonte homeowners enjoy the rights, privileges and security of owning ultra-prime, fee simple real estate without the stress and maintenance overhead of whole ownership.
What will be wholly yours as a Paramonte owner are all the things that have made Cordillera one of America’s premier four-season resort communities. Among them: Three championship courses designed by Tom Fazio, Jack Nicklaus and Hale Irwin and a stunningly set Dave Pelz Short Game Golf School; private fishing on 1.5 miles of the Eagle River; equestrian center; and over 30 miles of hiking, biking and riding trails. All yours to enjoy, at your leisure.
