199 Private Drive 1728 in Youngsville sits on five acres with access to a private boat ramp and recreation area on Abiquiu Lake. Behind a motorized gate, the property offers both privacy and convenience. The 768-square-foot home, completed in 2020, was designed around the idea of efficient living. High ceilings, clerestory windows, and rounded corners create an easy flow through two bedrooms, a full kitchen, dining nook, living area, and three-quarter bath.Energy-efficient windows and appliances, mini-split heating and cooling, and smart-home features are already in place. The home is tied to the grid, and the solar array helps offset electric costs, with the option to add battery backup if desired. Low-flow fixtures, low or no-VOC finishes, and fire-resistant siding contribute to its durability and efficiency.The property is served by a shared well with a reverse osmosis system and a conventional septic system. From the house, the views reach across Ghost Ranch, Cerro Pedernal, and Mesa Prieta--landscapes that define northern New Mexico. With gated entry, lake access, and a home designed for efficiency, this property offers a comfortable balance between setting and design.

About 60 miles north of Santa Fe, Abiquiu and surrounding communities of El Rito, Gallina, Ojo Caliente and Chama to the north are some of the most beautiful landscapes New Mexico has to offer.
