Contemporary Form + Function. A unique home of striking architectural design based on ancient Chacoan principles and Luis Barragan style, built with creatives in mind, the main, two bedroom residence/studio has commanding views of Cerro Pedernal, the surrounding mountains, and the Chama River valley. Expertly sited on 11+ acres to capture year-round light and passive solar gain, the property was built in 2001 of adobe, concrete, glass and steel, and received the American Institute of Architecture Energy & Sustainability Award in 2006. Interior spaces are flexible, the west end of the building is designed as a studio, and the central living area of approximately 1,000 sq. ft. has 20 ft. ceilings, all heated w. 2 zone radiant and wood stoves. One of the great allures of this property is the effortless inside/outside living, enhancing the exceptional morning sunrises and evening sunsets. Lovingly nurtured, mature landscaping, with both shade and fruit trees (pear, apricot and plum), adds a sense of joy and permanence to this exciting property. This offering includes a separately metered studio guest house with full bath privately located away from the main residence. The AirB&B/short-term rental potential is excellent. Abiquiu receives an ever-increasing number of visitors drawn by the exciting numerous and varied attractions in the immediate area.
