Spotted Owl | Peaceful Pine Retreat with Hot Tub & Fenced Yard
Welcome to Spotted Owl, a charming mountain retreat nestled among the pine trees of Ruidoso. This beautiful one-level home combines the cozy feel of a classic mountain cabin with modern comforts, thoughtful design, and plenty of space to relax. Whether you're planning a family getaway, a weekend with friends, or a peaceful escape with your pup, Spotted Owl is a wonderful place to slow down and enjoy the forest.
The space
With 1,547 square feet, 3 bedrooms, and 2 bathrooms, Spotted Owl offers a comfortable, inviting layout for your group. The home has been thoughtfully designed with beautiful finishes throughout, including granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a gas fireplace that's easily controlled with a wall switch.
The living room's LED lighting adds a warm, relaxing ambiance in the evenings, while central air-conditioning and heat help keep you comfortable year-round. A brand-new RO water filtration system was installed in 2021.
Step outside and enjoy the best of mountain living. The gated and fenced front deck is a lovely spot for morning coffee, an evening glass of wine, or simply taking in the sights and sounds of the surrounding forest. In the backyard, your four-legged friends—and little ones—can enjoy the enclosed space while you grill, unwind, or soak in the brand-new (2026) six person hot tub.

Getting around
4 WD or AWD is recommended to navigate the road, especially in winter months. While the neighborhood is peaceful and beautiful, the road leading to the cabin has been damaged from the South Fork fire and subsequent floods. Extreme caution is advised, and arriving after dark is not recommended. Parking for up to 3 vehicles is on a gravel driveway. The road leading to the cabin is mostly level.
