Pastura offers wide-open horizons, quiet nights, and the easy pace many seek in the High Plains of Guadalupe County. Set along US 84 with quick access to Santa Rosa and services, the community feels remote yet connected—perfect for those who value elbow room, starry skies, and the sound of wind through the grass more than traffic and crowds.
Weekends here lean outdoorsy. Nearby waters draw anglers and paddlers to Santa Rosa Lake State Park’s expansive reservoir, trails, and boat ramps at the official Santa Rosa Lake State Park website. The region’s most famous spring, Blue Hole, invites year-round dives and cooling swims via the Blue Hole official site. History-minded day trips head to the Bosque Redondo Memorial at the New Mexico Historic Sites page to reflect on Navajo and Mescalero Apache history, while sunsets and shoreline birding shine at Sumner Lake State Park through the EMNRD Sumner Lake page. On a road-trip mood, the gleam of chrome beckons at the Route 66 Auto Museum through its official site.
Daily needs are comfortably within reach in Santa Rosa, including clinical care at Guadalupe County Hospital via the hospital’s official site. Families typically coordinate K–12 options through area districts, and ranch acreage, homesteads, and off-grid-ready parcels make up much of the local housing fabric.
