This exceptional pumice-crete home is a handcrafted sanctuary in the heart of the Santa Fe National Forest--set in a gated, 12-home enclave surrounded by thousands of acres of woodland and close to the gorgeous Pecos Wilderness and world class fishing in the Pecos River. Inside, Santa Fe-style elegance includes diamond plaster walls, hand-carved vigas, and flagstone floors. Built to endure, its 11-inch non-combustible walls and metal roof offer exceptional wildfire resilience.Just outside, an intermittent mountain stream runs through with aspen, ponderosa, and wildflower-filled canyon. Wildlife and serenity abound, and trails begin at your doorstep. Fully on-grid but off the beaten path--no cell service, no noise, total peace, with satellite internet available for those who need to check in with the world. The arts and culture of Santa Fe is just an hour away. Property features two large, high-ceilinged bedrooms upstairs, with 100-year old oak floors, as well as a bonus room perfect for art studio or office space. A smaller bedroom is on the first floor. Outdoor spaces abound, with an attached sunroom, fenced garden area, and gazebo perfect for summer cookouts. Two adjacent parcels also available. This is a one-of-a-kind chance to create a secure, nature-connected lifestyle in a rapidly changing world.
