About Buckhorn

Buckhorn is a quiet rural community in southwestern New Mexico, situated about thirty miles northwest of Silver City. Home to fewer than two hundred residents, the area offers peaceful country living with scenic high-desert views and easy access to the nearby Gila National Forest. Originally known as Nogales before establishing its post office in 1913, it appeals to anyone seeking wide-open spaces, privacy, and a relaxed pace of life.
