We become one with the land when our connection to it is strengthened by its inherent beauty. This property captures ones heart with gently sloping and wildflower covered meadows juxtaposing the nearby ruggedness of the Sangre de Cristo mountain range. Famed architect, John Gaw Meem, may have felt the same as he visualized this lovely home which stands firm near the center of this 92.99 acre tract of land in the pristine village of Gascon in the Mora Valley. The property, saturated by green lushness, has 6 sources of water including 2 wells, a catch tank and spring fed pond, the Rito San Jose as well as a flowing acequia. The home itself is true to Meem's vision by capturing large vistas through the deep wraparound portal with flagstone floors and large view windows. Seeming to sprout from the earth, this two-story home draped in river stones and antique wood detailing has maintained lovely architectural features yet flows with an airy and open spaciousness throughout. A guesthouse flanks the entry to the property with a separate barn and stable area situated near the flowing river waters. An original adobe structure is also nearby reminiscent of the early New Mexico Spanish settlements, ideal for a sacred space. The exquisite pond and surrounding forest draw local wildlife including elk and deer, as well as a wide variety of birds to the area, making this timeless retreat ideal for lovers of nature and history.
