Back Road Bass: A Legacy of Preservation and Community Vision
The family residence at Back Road Bass represents a meaningful heritage, originally acquired as a retirement sanctuary for the CEO's parents—his mother, a distinguished professor of English who dedicated 25 years to Highlands University, and his father, an accomplished wood sculptor and self-made international real estate investor with holdings in both Belize and France.
Following his father's passing in 2021, the CEO has methodically developed a concrete preservation plan that honors the land while creating sustainable income opportunities. Though not a traditional rancher, the CEO brings unique perspective from extensive off-grid living experiences, having resided in remote natural settings with his parents across three different countries throughout his formative years.
Drawing upon nearly 26 years of off-grid living on this particular property, combined with his diverse background spanning the cannabis industry, content creation, classical art, and electronic music production, the CEO has crafted an innovative business model centered on arts, entertainment, and recreation.
Back Road Bass stands as a multifaceted land management and creative enterprise, featuring 140 acres of pristine land nestled within New Mexico's most captivating backcountry. Owned by the founders since 2006 and serving as their primary residence since 2011, the property embodies their enduring vision of sharing this extraordinary space with a broader community.
This distinctive property fulfills several complementary roles: serving as a premier location rental for discerning content creators, offering a destination experience for adventurous RV enthusiasts, and functioning as a preservation platform that showcases and celebrates the region's unparalleled natural splendor.
