Thoughtfully designed small house on almost 5 acres. This 562 square foot, studio style home proves the adage that good things come in small packages. On a flat hilltop above Goldmine road, this home takes in views of Cerrillos and the Galisteo valley, as well as the Sangre de Cristo mountains. With stainless steel appliances, ample light, and stained concrete floors, the home feels more spacious than it's square footage would suggest. Designed with expansion in mind, it would be easy to add a bedroom, and the property is sold with two lots, a buyer could live in this home while building on the other lot. On septic and community water, within walking distance of Cerrillos and a short drive to Santa Fe. House has been smoked in and will need paint.
