Description of the home we are offering for exchange
Single-family contemporary home with a beautiful view of the Franklin Mountains. Sit in the spa to watch the sunrise behind the mountains or relax on the porch to watch the sunset, then jump in the pool to cool off. Located on the West side of El Paso in a very quiet neighborhood. With a park in front, an arroyo in the back, and miles of sidewalks to walk or bike on, you can relax and recharge. Each of the three rooms is equipped with comfortable beds and a television. An 8K television sits over the gas fireplace in the living room. Central heat and air-conditioning keep you comfortable no matter the weather.
The master bedroom has a king-sized bed with a Temper-Pedic mattress and an en suite bathroom. The master bath has two sinks and a walk-in shower with three rain shower heads. There is an office overlooking the park and the mountain range. The backyard has a smoker, a gas grill, an inground pool, and a Bullfrog Spa. A fireplace table and comfortable furniture.
Climate: El Paso has very little rain, with an average of 7 inches per year, and there is a lot of sunshine. The humidity is low, with warmer days and cooler nights even in the summer.

Our neighborhood is quiet and friendly. There are wide sidewalks all through the area for safe walking. Many restaurants and stores are within close proximity. An outlet mall is only a few miles away. Being on the west side, allows you to get to Franklin State Park in just a few minutes, where you will find beautiful hiking trails. Las Cruces and Mesilla are just 20 minutes away so you can enjoy the New Mexico cuisine and culture.

Our home exchange - places to go and things to do while staying in our home
From our house, drive to West Town in 5 minutes, where you'll find a super Walmart, outfitter Cabela's, fast food, and many more shops. Just two minutes from there, at Cimarron Market, take some time to discover wonderful local restaurants like Sunny's Sushi, the Grove, and many more.
We are just 33 miles away from Old Mesilla and Las Cruces, wonderful areas to discover New Mexico's history and unique cuisine. Our favorites are the Shed and Si Senor (you must try the Stuffed Sopapillas).
Drive the scenic drive and stop at the lookout on a clear day where you'll see the point where Texas, Mexico, and New Mexico connect. Or just drive up and over the mountain on highway 375 and stop at the lookouts of the West side and the East side.
A perfect and unique day trip to White Sands National Park (90 minutes away) will certainly be a highlight of your stay here. We just can't stop visiting these breathtaking white sand dunes...so large, it is visible from space. If you want to spend a night out, consider the quiet little town of Cloud Croft or the eclectic town of Ruidoso which are both in the New Mexico Mountains.
