O n behalf of
the citizens of
Angel Fire, I want to
welcome you to our
wonderful mountain
village. Every year,
in every season, we
open our doors to vis-
itors from around the
world. They come for
the spectacular land-
scape and scenery,
unbeatable climate
and clean air, world-class events, and wild
recreation for adventure lovers.
It’s an exciting time in Angel Fire, with
our new fairgrounds for concerts and RV
resort in the works, airport improvements
and fiber optic lines connecting us to the
global grid.
There are plenty of options for places
to hang your hat, dine out or stroll around
shops, and Labor Day weekend will be
packed with activities – races, concerts, art
tours – and of course the Parade of Homes.
But leave some time to kick back and re-
lax. Once you visit, like many others you
might be tempted to stay longer, maybe
even build a mountain retreat of your own.
We’re proud of our homebuilders, profes-
sionals excelling at alpine construction.
The Parade of Homes offers a unique op-
portunity to step inside their work.
There’s never been a better time to
check out Angel Fire. Thanks for coming –
we’re honored you chose us, and know
you’ll enjoy your stay.
W elcome to the
Seventh An-
nual Sangre de Cristo
Homebuilders Asso-
ciation PARADE OF
HOMES. We have some
of the most spectacu-
lar additions, remodels
and homes, built by an
array of award-winning
builders.
This year’s Parade
of Homes promises to
offer an exciting look into new construc-
tion, remodeling techniques, new materials
and styles that are all unique to the North-
ern New Mexican mountains.
The Parade of Homes is held for own-
ers to share with the public their invest-
ments or their dreams that have come to
life and we greatly appreciate them for al-
lowing all of you into their homes. Through
our homeowners we, the builders, are able
to showcase the talent that is in this val-
ley. Potential homeowners or home buyers
are able to see builders’ work first hand
and make decisions for their future. With
the home/property owners’s ideas and
the builder’s creativity, a beautiful finished
product is accomplished and you’ll be able
to see this over the Labor Day weekend.
Please continue to read through our
magazine’s articles about life in Angel Fire
and the surrounding areas. It’s a world of
outdoor wonders and it’s waiting for you and
your loved ones for generations to come.
I would like to give a special thanks to
the Village of Angel Fire for lodger’s tax; it
has been an intricate part of the Parade of
Homes. I would also like to thank the San-
gre de Cristo Homebuilders Association
board members, the Builder members and
the associate members and our advertis-
ers. It takes all of us to make this event run
smoothly. Great job, and thank you!

ANGEL FIRE… MAKING MOVES for the FUTURE
Fiber optic telecommunications are coming to Angel Fire
B ig things are brewing in the
town of Angel Fire over the
next several years. Kit Car-
son Electric Cooperative, Inc. is bring-
ing true high speed internet service
to their entire service area, which in-
cludes Taos County and parts of Rio
Arriba and Colfax Counties, includ-
ing Angel Fire. The Enchanted Light
Fiber Optic Network provides state-
of-the-art communications including
internet, digital phone and video.
The Enchanted Light Fiber Op-
tic Project is made possible through
a $44 million grant and $19.3 million
loan by the Rural Utility Service of
the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
The award was part of the American
Recovery and Reinvestment Act. The
award was the largest in New Mexico,
fifth largest in the U.S. and largest
overall issued for broadband infra-
structure installation.
The project will provide a posi-
tive impact for many years. At its
peak the project will employ about
300 local laborers at Davis-Bacon
wages, which are considerably high-
er than average for the type of work
being done. Plans are in motion for
many permanent jobs in connection
with this project.
Kit Carson members will now be
able to enjoy high definition internet
movie rentals as they were meant to
be seen. Enchanted Light will also
be a communications infrastructure
that will allow the business commu-
nity to compete on a level playing
field in the world economy.
Phase one of the project includes
the communities of Taos, Angel Fire,
Questa, Costilla and Eagle Nest. In all,
approximately 900 miles of under-
ground and 2,000 miles of overhead
fiber optic cable are being installed.
The broadband infrastructure will
have the ability to deliver affordable
broadband service to 29 communi-
ties comprised of 20,500 households,
3,600 businesses and 183 community
institutions. Construction is also un-
derway on the facility located next
to the Regional Command and Com-
munications Center that will house all
the electronic equipment associated
with the project.
A new project in the discussion
stage is a state-of-the-art RV Resort,
which could break ground this sum-
mer near the base of Palo Flechado
pass. The park would have 260 RV
sites and 10 cabins, as well as full
bath and laundry amenities, new hik-
ing trails, and a clubhouse.
On Highway 434 near the old
soccer fields, zoning has been ap-
proved for the Angel Fire Resort
Fairgrounds. The Fairgrounds will
allow the Resort to use the land
across from the airport to put on
concerts and other large gather-
ings, such as hot air balloon fes-
tivals and air shows. Events here
could be held alongside other major
resort attractions in the summer, in-
cluding the popular motorcycle tour
through the valley on Memorial Day,
bike races and tours throughout the
Enchanted Circle.
At the Colfax County Angel Fire
Airport, two 12,000-gallon tanks are
being added to store more aviation
and jet fuel. The new fuel farm should
be up and running by July. Runway
and taxiway rehabilitation projects to
assist in drainage are in the plans if
funding is available.
In 2010, Angel Fire Resort in-
vested $16 million in a Country Club
that serves as a year-round activ-
ity center for members and guests.
It features an upscale restaurant,
nordic center, sledding hill, 18-hole
golf course, tennis courts, lap pool,
and gym. This summer, they are ex-
panding nightly activities to include
the Music Oudoors program featur-
ing live music on the green, Friday
nights in July will include outdoor
movie showings, and there will be a
weekend-long arts festival.
The Village of Angel Fire is con-
tinuing with its green initiatives,
beautification projects, enhanced
landscaping and increased signage.
Each year, Angel Fire continues ef-
forts to expand recreational oppor-
tunities for families to come and
experience the Moreno Valley and
draw new visitors to make Angel Fire
their home.

me to find out about it then don’t do
it, because I’m always going to hear
about it. This village raises some
pretty good kids.
Low Crime Rate: You’ll never feel
safer anywhere else; not much hap-
pens once the sun goes behind those
mountains. Don’t get me wrong – we
have to lock our house and car doors
but it’s not because of burglars or car
thieves; it’s to keep the bears out!
Off Season: There are a few times
a year when everyone in town is run-
ning around crazy, trying to keep all of
our customers happy but then there
is the rest of the year, when time goes
by slowly and quietly, you don’t have
to wait in line at the grocery store and
the only traffic jam is caused by the
elk that are crossing the road.
Oftentimes, I have answered the
question “What is there to do in Angel
Fire?” My favorite response is listing all
of the wonderful activities but always
end it with “Or, you can do nothing at
all.” That is the beauty of living in a
place like this; it is all at your finger-
tips all of the time so you never feel
pressured to get it all in. Many people
who live in Angel Fire feel like they
have chosen quality of life over the
hustle and bustle of city and office
life. We might never make it big or be
on the cover of Forbe’s Magazine but
we can honestly say we are enjoying
life to its fullest!
So find yourself a local and ask
them why they moved to Angel Fire,
I’m sure you’ll get quite a story.
Annie Lindsey owns Studio 434 in Angel Fire.
H ave you ever gone on vaca-
tion and not wanted to leave?
I’m not talking about the kind
of vacation where you have to wait
in line in the blistering sun while all
of the children (including your own)
around you are crying, I’m talking
the kind where you can be outside in
the peace and quiet all day long with
temperatures in the 70s or you can
ski all day long and relax in your hot
tub at night. Well, that’s what Angel
Fire is all about! People come here to
visit and leave trying to figure out how
they can stay. Some of us are lucky to
have figured it out and that’s why I
can give you the top five reasons to
live in Angel Fire!
Cool Summers: Angel Fire has
to have the best summers. Crisp cool
mornings lead to sunny afternoons
and once that sun goes behind the
mountains, it’s cool again. With an
average summer temperature of 75
degrees, we can play outside all day
long. In fact, we would rather be out-
side because very few homes in the
valley have air conditioning; if we get
too hot inside we just open the win-
dow to get a nice breeze going. Of
course, I do still have to work but all
of Angel Fire’s amenities are so close
that I can easily still enjoy them after
work. Hiking, biking, golfing and fish-
ing, every single day if I wanted to.
Snowy Winters: Have you ever
been on a ski trip on the day of a
big, fresh snow? Do you remember
how much fun it was getting all of
the fresh powder? Well, if you live in
Angel Fire, you get first tracks and
powder days every time in snows.
You get to pick your days to ski in-
stead of having to go three days in
a row because you have to go home
on Sunday. Oh, and the kids, they get
to join you because school gets can-
celed if there is too much snow!
The Schools: We are in Cimarron
Municipal School District so our kids
go to school either in Eagle Nest (K-
8), Cimarron High School (9-12) or
Moreno Valley High School (9-12).
All of our schools have tiny classes,
averaging under 20 students per
class. Our kids get so much individ-
ual attention from all of the teach-
ers and when it comes to sports, you
don’t have to even try out, you just
make the team. The addition of our
Charter School (Moreno Valley High
School) has been a huge benefit
for our community. MVHS has been
ranked seven years in a row on the
Washington Post Challenge Index,
this year placing 87th out of 1,900
high schools nationwide and the US
News and World Report High School
Rankings show MVHS as #1 in New
Mexico. That’s right, the best high
school in New Mexico is right here in
our little valley!
Great Place to Raise Kids: This
is a big one for us. Raising kids in a
community where they can play out-
side and ride their bikes to the store
or to the lake to go fishing is priceless.
I know families who have moved here
for just that reason; kids can be kids
and parents don’t have to worry about
their safety. The one thing we always
tell our children is, if you don’t want
QUALITY of LIFE

to life! Most who walked through during
that year’s Parade of Homes would never
have known it was a remodel if it weren’t
for our before and after pictures. It sold
after just a short time!
This year will be no different for my
crew and me. Our new project has
been to bring this once cozy, ski-in ski-
out efficiency condo back from severe
flood damage. I invite you to come by
during Parade of Homes when we reveal
the surprise end result, completely up-
dated. All flooring, lights, appliances and
ceiling will be replaced. This condo is
going to be great… don’t miss it!
STATS640 sq. ft. of flooded / damaged area.
1 full outdated bath & outdated kitchen.
I n the past, Dale Jackson Custom
Building has been able to pull off the
impossible by using insight, pure cre-
ativity and hard work. Last year our entry
was a “floating” breezeway where we con-
nected the home’s upper level entrance
and garage to the pre-existing home 100
feet below and down a hill by bringing in
a floating concrete slab. The year before,
we did an entire house remodel. Rather
than demolish and start anew, we saved
the old house at the owner’s request. The
house was built in the early ‘80s, and a tree
had fallen through it and the home was left
to the outdoor elements and abandoned.
Needless to say, there was quite a bit of
damage from neglect. After months of de-
molition, repair, custom woodwork and re-
construction, the house was brought back

B ack a bunch of years, one of
the owners of Crack-A-Noon
Construction ambled up to
his crew working in a hole on a house
foundation.
“We need a drill to punch four holes
in this board,” a crewmember said.
“Where do you want the holes?”
“Here, here, here and here,” he
pointed. The boss pulled out a pistol
and fired four bullets into the board.
“There, there, there and there,”
he said, walking back to his truck to
take a nap.
Since its early days, the Moreno
Valley has always had its own brand
of Wild West charm. Cattle still am-
ble around deserted ranch buildings;
some lawn ornaments still remind us
of the old days, back when building
a home was far less regulated – little
planning and zoning, permits or in-
spections. While there are still plen-
ty of characters around, the level of
professionalism in construction has
come a long way.
Longtime local builder Jim Kelly
remembers erecting his first home. “I
needed a place to live, so I called my
construction and carpenter buddies
and we raised the thing in a day.”
Another longtime local, Ray
Honea, was an electrical contrac-
tor who has ridden the booms and
busts of the housing market and built
a new home every two years, living in
the project before it was ready to sell.
He remembers an earlier builder who
had a message on his answering ma-
chine, built to placate everyone: “Hi! If
you’re one of our clients, we’re busy
at your job site. If you’re one of our
suppliers, the check is in the mail.”
Most of the original Angel Fire
homes remain clustered around the
TALES FROMthe EARLY DAYS
Country Club. The number of homes
jumped from just 40 in the late 1960s
to 1,720 homes today. It’s been a
learning process for many contrac-
tors turned builders over the years.
There were first time adobe builds in
the dead of winter. “I learned that you
just walk around with pockets full of
dirt,” another lamented. There were
years where the Village would do only
one land survey before builders could
break ground. That led to a number of
homes built straddling properties.
“That put my boss right out of
business,” Kelly remembers. “He
built a house that was on more than
one property and wound up having
to buy the land next door for three
times as much. Could you imagine?”
Today, there are at least two surveys
of property by the Village before any
construction gets underway.
Kelly remembers coming up
from Albuquerque in 1959 to go fish-
ing with his father. NM 434 was then
just a dirt road. He fell in love with
the mountains and did everything
he could to return to the area, first
as a Boy Scout at Philmont, then as
a roofer. He’s excited about the recy-
cling center in town and being able to
use more renewable materials.
“I put roofs numbers one and
two up on that building,” he pointed
out on a recent ride, “and I’m on roof
number three now.”
He drove past Winter Sports and
noted, “I put that shingled roof on 30
years ago. Look! It’s still there. Pret-
ty good, eh? I’ve been here over 30
years,” Kelly said, “and I hope I’ll be
here for another 30. I wouldn’t trade
this place for anywhere in the world.”

I have been practicing interior
design in New Mexico for over
13 years. New Mexico is a special
place and does not necessarily
follow the trends of the rest of the
country.
There are two styles that are
prevalent here. I call them southwest
and mountain lodge.
Even if a homeowner plans a
contemporary or traditional style
home they usually will add a touch
of rustic lodge or maybe some
southwest colors or accents to
make it special to the area. With
that said the following are trends in
interior design in the country.
I love lists. So here is a list of ten
trends for 2013 in no special order.
UPSCALE MANCAVES
The items these man caves
include can be wine rooms, media
room full of high tech gadgets, display
cases for collectables, wood burning
pizza ovens and golf simulators.
OUTDOOR KITCHENS
For our short summers that are
perfect for outdoor entertaining.
These have built-in grills, storage,
sinks, under counter refrigerators,
fire pits and dining areas and more.
CLEVER BUILT-INS
These are areas not usually used
for storage or display. A couple of
places would be drawers, cabinets
and display shelving under stairs
and built in seating and storage
under windows. Also areas over
garages are being used more often
for extra space.
SMALLER SPACES
We all know that not as many
McMansions are being built. People
are becoming more conservative
with their properties. No huge foyers
or dining rooms. More shared baths
with separate sink areas. Spaces are
designed to fit the client’s needs
without wasted space.
BRIGHT BRASS
Brass is making a comeback. I
have not seen it in Angel Fire but it
is listed as a trend in all the interior
design articles lately. So you may
want to wait before you get rid of
all your old brass hardware and
change it to oil rubbed bronze or
bushed nickel.
BRIGHT COLORS
Brighter colors are trendy;
emerald green, bright reds and
oranges are popular.
Just look to clothing fashion first
and home furnishings usually follow.
WALLPAPER
I do not see much wallpaper
used in New Mexico however
people here love textured walls,
lots of color, faux painting on walls
and ceilings and other treatments
such as wood or metal accents.
Wallpaper can give you special
looks for not a lot of money. There
are websites that will let you
customize your wallpaper. The
options are unlimited.
“GREENER” DESIGN
Some of this is due to building
codes, i.e. bath fixtures that use less
potable water.
Also manufacturers of lighting
and appliances are making their
products more energy efficient
every year. People in general are
becoming more concerned with
waste. Many homeowners are
designing areas to include recycling
collection.
BATHROOM SPAS
This is for the homeowner
that has a large master bath. The
trend is, and has been, for walk-in
showers (no doors). In the shower
you will see multiple shower heads
and wall jets on the walls and
ceiling. There will be seating in the
shower. If the bath is large enough
it may include seating and furniture
for storage.
MIXING OLD WITH NEW
This is my personal favorite.
Mixing contemporary design with
rustic elements has a familiar feel
with an edge. There are many ways
to accomplish this.
One would be having the hard
finishes, such as your walls, floors
and ceiling to have rustic treatments
and your furniture, artwork and
lighting to be modern.
You can also mix rustic and
modern elements in one piece, such
as a reclaimed wood table top with
a contemporary metal base.

INTERIOR DESIGN – TOP TEN TRENDS
28 PARADE of HOMES
T ime to buy land? Only if you
want to build a nice new home.
How ‘bout those prices? Is land in
Angel Fire cheap?
Depends on how you look at it.
Say we are in Angel Fire on June
17 (the beginning of the HOT season
— we actually broke 90 degrees on
three separate days last year). There
are 1,047 parcels with utilities and
year-round maintained municipal
roads on the market this morning.
337 of those are listed at $30,000
or less. Don’t know about you, but I
have to say “that’s cheap.”
Maybe some perspective is in
order. In 2009 the average list price
of lots with utilities and year-round
access was $71,436. The average list
price today is $41,550.
The selection. Current listings,
increasing every day, run from 8,400
feet right behind the Lowe’s grocery
store to 300 yards from the top of
the Lifts. The numbers are close,
evenly split. 501 listed on the East,
ski area side of the Resort and 426
on the West or golf course side of
the Resort.
LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCA-
TION – There have always been pre-
mium lots in locations that cannot
be duplicated. Land on the “Head-
in’ Home” ski run, right on the golf
course or right on Monte Verde Lake
have historically maintained a much
higher list and sale price.
If you are a golfer, there are 48 lots
on the course, or within about a city
block. The prices range from $12,000
to $190,000. And yes, the $190,000
lot is “ON” the golf course.
LOCATION PART II: MONTE
VERDE LAKE – Today only! 17 lots
ranging from $61,000 to $180,000.
And yes, at $180,000 you are ON the
lake. However, tomorrow there will be
more to choose from.
LOCATION PART III: SKI RUN
LOTS – No matter what, you will have
to walk a little bit. But lots character-
ized as ski to ski from increased from
9 to 35 when the Village accepted
the Chalets IIG subdivision in 2012.
You will be in the high sixties to get
a building site on or really close to
“Headin’ Home.”
LOCATION PART IV – The other
premium group has been the clear
view of the Wheeler Wilderness from
your deck or easy chair. It seems ev-
eryone thinks the prime locations
with Wheeler views were all taken in
the mid-eighties.
While that is not entirely true, a
lot of the historic parcels with that
view are steep enough that you have
to hang your house off the side of the
mountain a la California. You still get
the views, but the construction costs
go up a bunch and, sometimes, you
have a bobsled run driveway.
What many folks don’t realize is
that in 2011-2012 the Village of Angel
Fire accepted about 852 lots in eight
subdivisions with the best roads in
Angel Fire and water, electric, phone
and fiber that are not 30 years old.
In addition to all that new good
stuff, there are a bunch of lots with
views of Wheeler that no one could
ever build on before. These lots do
come with a price for all those new
utilities and roads, but the abun-
dance of Wheeler views has removed
the scarcity factor of great views and
reasonable building sites.
BIG INVENTORY – It seems like
there is always a lot of land for sale
in Angel Fire. A look back at numbers
indicates that there are almost al-
ways 500 parcels, more or less, listed
for sale at any given time.
In the nineties, I did a study of lot
sales in Angel Fire. Over a 10-year pe-
riod, only 25 percent of the lots pur-
chased were built on.
A lot of people take a lot of time
to decide that the lot they bought
would take a lot more money to build
on than they thought. That phenome-
non is not uncommon in resort areas.
And circumstances change. My
prime example was an executive
with Phillips Petroleum from Borger,
Texas, who spent several years look-
ing for just the right location. And he
paid a premium for a great view lot.
But then he was transferred to New
Jersey. Circumstances just like that
happen all the time.
And, although “view” is both sub-
jective and in the eye of the beholder,
the study also proved conclusively
that land with a good view commands
as much as 30 percent more than an
“ordinary” parcel of the same size.
There are no 13,000-foot wil-
derness areas in Texas or Okla-
homa. If someone wants to make
an investment of several hundreds
of thousands of dollars or even a
simple, humble mountain home,
ANGEL FIRE – GREAT TIME TO BUY
29www.sdchba.com
the location is the key.
TAKING A LOSS – An estimated
20 percent of all land for sale in An-
gel Fire today is listed at a loss from
the original purchase price. There are
two main reasons for this. One is the
already mentioned “had to go to New
Jersey” phenomenon. The other is
the unwarranted exuberance of buy-
ers from late 2005 to mid 2008. We
have all seen that story on CNN. Now,
most of those owners would like to
get some cash to do something else.
And, a very large number of those
buyers no longer expect to get their
investment back. The closing ratio –
the percentage of sale price to list
price – is about 73 percent since the
first of the year.
It’s a candy store. If you are in a
position to build a mountain home,
now is a great time.
