Welcome to La Tierra Escondida

The developers of La Tierra Escondida have been creating exceptional and enduring residential developments in the Las Cruces area for over 30 years. Their combined experience has come to fruition in this unique large lot subdivision unequalled by any other luxury home developments in our area.

Tierra: (t-r) n. ground, native land Escondida: (skn-dd ) adj. hidden

La Tierra Escondida is located in an area known to the Las Cruces natives as Las Alturas, “The Heights.” Enjoy a short relaxing drive through the undisturbed, scenic New Mexico State University Trust Lands, along a gently winding road that leads you to this premiere residential development by Jakes Development. La Tierra Escondida stands alone as an example of the wide open feel and panoramic views exemplifying the promise of the Southwest.

Take pleasure in the privacy of large natural desert lots which thrive with minimal effort. The beautiful desert and rolling terrain characteristic of the home sites, which average two acres, will inspire your dreams and future plans. Take in the spectacular mountain, valley, or city views from your home site, or play tennis at the beautifully landscaped private courts while your children play in the adjoining playground. Enjoy a walk or jog along the paved fitness path that traverses the neighborhood. Horse back ride or hike out to the mountains by way of the equestrian passages that border La Tierra Escondida.

Your dreams and plans can become reality.

Experience the serenity of the sun washed desert, moonlit nights, and spectacular mountain and city views … then you will realize the magic of La Tierra Escondida.
