Pine Butte offers all the fun and adventure of a ranch vacation, but with some special extras. Our crew of naturalist wranglers don’t just find you the right horse, they interpret the natural wonders you see along the trail. Hike through a carpet of wild flowers, swim in a pristine mountain lake or even catch a glimpse of a family of bears. This is a vacation you’ll never forget. Plus, our use of wind and solar energy, local food and other sustainable practices means you’ll leave a minimal footprint on our magnificent planet.
Located on 49,120 acres of rugged semi-desert grasslands, the preserve straddles the Sonoran and Chihuahuan Deserts. The ranch has five charming "casitas" that are original and renovated historic buildings dating from the late 1800s.
Hart Prairie offers overnight stays for groups conducting retreats, conferences or workshops. The preserve was donated to the Conservancy in 1994 by a local family when they discovered that their property held a globally rare community of Bebb willow trees.
