Situated adjacent to the Santa Fe National Forest, this warm and inviting homestead is a place of tranquil respite just a 30-minute drive to Santa Fe. With a thoughtful, open and airy passive-solar design, the main house charms at every turn with rustic vigas, arched doorways, decorative tile and wood details, built-ins, and traditional brick and tile floors. The original adobe structure was built around 1990 and several additions and renovations occurred through 2005 and the home has continued to be lovingly maintained. The primary bedroom features a loft space and large walk-in closet, while the secondary bedroom serves as an office or space for friends and family with a small walk-in closet. Practical dual vanities are showcased in the well-designed, spacious bathroom. The property includes an oversized 2-car garage with a storage loft and an attached studio/shop (both insulated) with a Timberline wood stove, plenty of natural light and sliding glass doors for easy access. Plus, there is a garden shed large enough for a riding mower with electricity, shelving, and work bench. Approximately 2.5 of the 3 acres surrounding the home are fenced and feature a kennel with 6'-high fencing, and an enclosure with raised gardens and an eco-friendly greywater system. Meandering trails throughout the property lead to meditation/viewing spots. Electric and phone lines are underground; the well is shared with two other properties and water filtration systems are present. Recent improvements include metal, propane roof replaced in 2014 with a 20-year warranty and a tankless, high-efficiency boiler. Enjoy everyday surrounded by the breathtaking beauty of the red rock cliffs of Rowe Mesa and all the splendor of the nearby Pecos River Valley. Please view the Video Link for further insight.
These small communities are located in the southern Sangre de Cristo Mountains along Interstate 25 on the east side of Glorieta Pass (elevation 7500 ft.). With many homes backing up to National Forest land, these areas are ideal for those wanting peaceful seclusion within commuting distance of Santa Fe.
