About Cloud Country Estates

Establishment

Cloud Country Estates (CCE) was established on January 16, 1981 is a private residential subdivision located in the Sacramento Mountains ten miles east of Cloudcroft, New Mexico on Hwy 82. The subdivision consists of

  • 278 lots of approximately one-half acre each, and
  • has approximately 118 residences, 286 lots,  and 168 owners.

It is the only subdivision, outside of the village of Cloudcroft, that has

  • paved roads,
  • its own water supply,
  • fire hydrants,
  • trash removal, and
  • underground utilities.

Residences enjoy membership to the Cloud Country Club which provides a fishing pond with gazebo, outdoor tennis and basketball courts and an outdoor pool. The Estates also maintains a Party Barn, private park,  and RV storage.

Water

Water for the subdivision is supplied by two springs and a water well. The water is stored in a 200,000 gallon water tank and is treated by a Miox water treatment system.

Roads

The roads in the subdivision are owned and maintained by the property owners and are not maintained by Otero County. As such, the roads are the responsibility of the owners.

Cloud Country Estates POA

The Cloud Country Estates is governed by the Property Owners Association (POA). This POA operates the same way as a Home Owner’s Association does, and is governed by an elected board of directors. Because the subdivision is responsible for it’s own water and roads, it acts as a municipality, and is required to follow and enforce the restricted covenants and bylaws drafted and approved by the owners of the subdivision. In addition, New Mexico has passed legislature that dictates how HOAs and owners should legally conduct themselves.
