Loveliest comment, by tuulikki: Just be glad you’re not a secretary at the local school, trying to order materials.
“School name, ma’am?”
“Truth or Consequences.”
“Ah, and where did you say that was?”
“Elephant Butte.”

Not just Butte. Elephant Butte. For real?
You could not raise kids there. You would hear nothing but butt jokes until they went to college.
Oh my… what kind of joke would they make about Picture Butte, Alberta…
Never mind when the kids are little … can you imagine being born there and then one day trying to launch a political career? “My esteemed colleague from New Mexico is so far right wing he was born up in Elephant’s Butte!”
Yup. And we called it “the Butt” growing up in Albuquerque, too. =)
Location! Beach Front!
There is NO beach front in New Mexico!!! Lake front maybe, but NO beach front. My definition of beach stipulates that an ocean is involved.
We have definite beaches in Michigan…the Great Lakes are definite beach territory.
Now, on to the house. I want! The view, the balloons, the incredible light, the non-frozen wet thing…(yes. I have been stuck in the snow too long. Why do you ask?)

FTW!!
“So where’d you graduate from?”
“Hot Springs High”
“Yeah…. lemme guess Hugh Hefner is the principal?”
I understand that Elephant Butte is kind of a vortex place, once you stay there you are drawn back for the rest of your life, assuming you ever managed to escape in the first place.
Want this cool house! Altho the listing pics, oddly, seemed to focus more on the decor than the layout or views.
Dude, I want hot air balloons in my backyard!
First off, the tags should include “New Mexico”.
Yes, Elephant Butte. From a certain point, the mountains look like a “shy elephant”, that has its butt turned towards the viewer.
Yeah, no beach, blah-blah. My definition of beach requires sand. Have you BEEN to New Mexico? There is plenty of sand!! And Elephant Butte Lake is the largest lake in New Mexico (not saying much.)
Balloons seem like they are indigenous to New Mexico – the climate is as close to perfection for flying a balloon as it comes.
Actually, I don’t think the Truth or Consequences Municipal Schools has a school in the town of Elephant Butte. So they have that going for them, which is nice.
I personally know several people born and raised in T or C and surrounding areas that have successfully left. And never returned.
But, let’s be honest, most small towns are their own mini-vortexes. And the only reason people talk about it that way is because they are “city-centric”, and can’t imagine living in a small town.
First off, the tags should include “New Mexico”.
That would be one way of using tags, yes. But I prefer to use them to confuse, not to help. (There’s a New Mexico section over there -> in the drop-down menu, if you want more.)
And Elephant Butte Lake is the largest lake in New Mexico (not saying much.) blah, blah, blah.
If it’s small enough that you can’t say much about it…then, my point exactly. I HAVE been to NM although the pics provided by the realtor underline nicely the barren wasteland this property sits on. Sand in NM = gypsum = no beach IMHO.
Just so it’s clear, you DO know that butts and buttes are 2 entirely different things? There are several well-known buttes in Colorado too–Crested Butte comes to mind as a rather desirable place to live, probably much more so than Elephant Butte. Altho we do occasionally refer to it as “Crusty Butt.”
However, if I were to be living there, I’d probably call it “Butt” just to be fun. =D
Me–I’ve always wanted to live in Plumber’s Butte. Or maybe not.
Nah, that place has just seen too much exposure. Used to be you could head on down to that hole-in-the-wall, park your ass right down on the stool and get a load off, but now ol’ Plumber’s Butte just shitty … ;p
The bedroom in photo 13 has THE MOST ornate stripper-pole I’ve ever seen!
(Alright, I know it’s just a corner post of the canopy bed. Well, I hope so anyways)
I just keep hearing, “Up, up, and awaaeayay, in my beautiful, my beautiful, balLOOOOOOOON!”
I don’t get earworms very often. Thanks a lot. *snark*
I was so good about not using that, even though it was the first thing I thought of.
“I like big buttes and I cannot lie…” Oh wait…
hahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
best line yet!!!
And that line just made my day.
That must be my friend’s house. A ReMax balloon landed in his backyard once during his grandma’s birthday party. True story.
I wish I could get to work daily by riding a baloon. No traffic jam, no smoke, but fresh air insted, great view…
Beach in NM…and I have a bridge for sale too! Check the next listing.
I don’t know what you’re talking about, we have MILES of beach. What we lack is the water.
OMG.. It’s the FarmVille balloon…
It’s a butte-iful day in the neighborhood…
