Cozy Casita Blanca at Hacienda de Las Cruces

Tamera is a full-time publisher of two local magazines and Eric is a career educator. Relatively new to Las Cruces, we have quickly fallen in love with our new lives here. We have a daughter who is nearing the end of her bachelor studies in the state of Washington.

Tamera and Eric quickly fell in love with the Hacienda. It's rare charm and unique craftsmanship is spectacular. We have enjoyed learning about the property and the previous owners of this home which is said to be originally built in 1870. The Frenger family purchased the property in 1906 and spent nearly 30 years converting the home into a Santa Fe style hacienda as it's seen today.

Each suite has its own private entrance, creating a nice sense of privacy for all guests. The home is conveniently located in a historical area of downtown Las Cruces. The house is near the well-established farmers market which is in operation year-round, every Saturday morning. The market provides food, produce and many hand-made crafts. We are also located near the downtown pavilion where the city hosts many concerts through the warmer seasons. Many restaurants and bars are within walking distance of the house. While in a relatively busy part of town, the 7 foot wall surrounding the property and the house's thick adobe walls create incredible privacy.
