AS-IS. Unique opportunity for owner-builder types on a sweet, tucked-in property in one of the most desirable areas of Santa Fe; experience peaceful wilderness in the low foothills of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, 15 minutes from the plaza. Three buildings in various states surround a courtyard on this 1.39 acre property, which adjoins a large tract to the west. Young cottonwoods, aspens, juniper, pion, wax currants, purple aster, cota, yerba de la negrita, mullein and much more thrive on the lot. The primary house is a one room, hundred year-old log cabin with adobe addition in mid-renovation. It has electric, plumbing, a wood stove, oak floors, and a small greenhouse. There is a propane tank not currently connected to the house. The vigas are cracked and need attention. Next to the house is a stone-faced adobe building, approximately 312 sq ft, lovingly referred to as "the shop," with limited electric and a wood stove. Lastly is the "round house," a sweet hogan missing part of its roof. Birds nest-style berms throughout the lower property, designed for water retention, encourage native vegetation. Properties like this rarely come available, and this one is primed for a caring steward to bring it into its next era.
As the Old Santa Fe Trail winds north, these lovely, heavily-forested communities run alongside. Located in the foothills of the Sangres, the lower elevations provide rolling hills of pinon and juniper with the high-elevation nestled in mountainous terrain. All have wonderful views of the Sandias and famous Santa Fe sunsets. Most lots start at 2.5 acres and some are over ten.
