Blessed with fertile soil, water rights, and a location on the banks of the Chama River, this wonderful 3.9-acre property is ideal for anyone interested in a peaceful retreat or sustainable farming. More than 165 years old, the main residence is steeped in history. The original adobe house, built in 1851, is now the bedroom of the home, which also offers a full bath, a living room, a lovely kitchen, and a sunroom that brings added warmth in the winter months. Attached to the home is a one-bedroom casita with a bath, a den, and a private entrance. The detached guesthouse features one bedroom, a full bath, and a kitchen with high ceilings; wonderful passive solar design makes the space bright and warm. The attached whimsical artist studio was renovated in 2002 to include a bath, a laundry room, high ceilings, and north-facing windows admitting wonderful natural light. The barn was renovated in 2001 and currently serves as an office enjoying proximity to the main corral and spaces for domestic animals. The land includes orchards, gardens, corrals, catch pens, and loafing and hay sheds and is perimeter-fenced and cross-fenced for pasture rotation. The residences are situated close to the county road, with the main home just above the acequia, the barn and corrals just below. Irrigation is provided by the river and many rainwater collection tanks situated throughout the upper portion of the property.
