Revealing a sculptor's touch, this hand-built round adobe on the slopes of the Ortiz Mountains is ready for new energy. Nestled on 13.34 elevated acres with gentle, easy topography and breathtaking views, this one-bedroom, one-bath home offers a sanctuary from the world while being less than a quarter mile from pavement and approximately 30 minutes from Santa Fe. Unique features add warmth and character, including a spiral staircase, wide plank wood floors, hand-hewn counters, a stone sink, and viga ceilings. Outside, the upstairs decks, which currently need repair, offer some of the best views in the region. With wood heat, public electricity, a private well, and a newer septic system, this home is poised to provide a distinctive retreat. While completely charming, this home requires some repairs and upgrades and is priced accordingly. Please make an appointment to see.
