Entering this Davis Mountains jewel from Highway 17, you have amazing views of area mountains and the Cottonwood Gallery Forest along Limpia Creek that runs through the property. Mayas Creek Crossing has a new water well, small barn, and dirt tank with several building sites that make this a world apart, yet so close to town. There are several pastures with new fencing that would make this the perfect horse property, ready for a new home and outbuilding with room for nature at its best.
This is a high desert climate where the air is dry, and temperatures are moderate most of the year. July usually begins monsoon season. Short, daily thunderstorms are part of the spectacular views this time of year, creating clear flowing waters along the creek. Winters are usually mild with occasional snows that last only days before the desert sun returns.
Mayas Crossing is dominated by the riparian areas along Limpia Creek shaded with cottonwood and willow trees. On both sides of the creek there are natural open meadows in the uplands with native Chihuahuan Desert plants, including cane bluestem, blue gramma, and sideoats gramma with diverse native forbs and shrubs. Cool nights, warm days and the first of the desert monsoonal rainfalls make the valley a lush green paradise in the spring and throughout the summer.
Wildlife in the Davis Mountains is abundant. Mule deer, white-tail, and smaller animals and bird species such as wild turkey, raccoons, javelina, fox, ringtail cat, blue quail and the unusual Montezuma quail abound. Hummingbirds, migrant songbirds and butterflies fly through the area on semi-annual migrations and are attracted to the extensive native plants along the creek. Native trees, brush and grasses provide excellent habitat for these game and non-game species. Surrounded by nature, one can pursue activities like photography, astronomy, hiking, painting, or meditation by simply walking along the clear waters and banks of Limpia Creek.
Mayas Creek Crossing has a water well that was drilled and finished out with a pressure pump and connected to electricity. Additionally the largest watershed of the Davis Mountains, Limpia Creek winds through a large portion of Mayas Crossing.
