The Moss years
Judge Paul Moss purchased the land from the State of New Mexico, using it for agriculture, hunting, and secluded gatherings. Hollywood visitors reportedly followed through his family connection to actor Jane Withers.
01 · The place
High country. Low noise. A community built differently.
Timberon sits on the southern edge of the Lincoln National Forest: roughly 9,000 forested acres threaded with mountain roads, cabins, wildlife, and people who chose distance on purpose.
It is a census-designated place, not an incorporated town. That distinction shapes daily life: essential systems are run by a special district, the fire and EMS tradition is volunteer-built, and much of the social fabric comes from neighbors simply showing up.
This is not a polished resort. It is a living mountain village—with beauty, constraints, old stories, ongoing work, and a fierce sense of place.
