Hachita, New Mexico
a living western town...
Hachita, NM is an unspoiled, working, western community that inspires self-reliance. Neighbors are immediately there if you need them, otherwise stay out of your business. There are no golf courses, hair salons or tennis courts. Manicured yards are not the norm. Hachita has a small store that offers essential items, including gasoline. The nearest major town is Deming, 50 miles away (folks here keep lists). For my wife and me, Hachita is about easy access to the high desert vistas, abandoned mines, beautiful sunrises/sunsets, the stunning night sky and an escape from city noise.
