The house includes two leather sofas, one of which converts to a bed, offering three sleeping areas. Sealed honed stone countertops, built-in bookcases, a cedar deck, and a basement with ample storage space add to the property's charm.The retreat also features two terraced perennial gardens, rock gardens, and three raised vegetable beds. Within the fenced and gated property, known as "Tres Lagunas" after its three ponds, are several other cabins maintained by a full-time groundskeeper and caretaker. Perfect for year-round fishing, hiking, and snowshoeing, this mountain retreat is a sought-after destination in northern New Mexico.
