Sited high on the northern slopes of the Ortiz Mountains, this working artist's retreat offers away-from-it-all serenity while still being with an easy commute of Santa Fe. The home and studio is centered on a gently sloping 15.59 acre lot that offers space for gardening, horses, other animals, or outbuildings. The home features three bedrooms and two full baths, with soaring ceilings in the living room and kitchen, and a primary bedroom on the second floor with rooftop deck. Brick and wood floors, wood ceilings, and an interior adobe wall exude warmth. Outside, a north facing patio takes in breathtaking views across the Galisteo Basin to the Sangre de Cristo's. The attached artist's studio has its own entrance and bathroom, and could easily be converted back to its previous use as a guest house if additional living space or rental income was desired. Two storage sheds are on the lot, including a large and sturdy shed that could be used as shop space or more studio space. Connected to public electric, with fast internet and a good well. The property also has a Bed and Breakfast license from Santa Fe County. Owner will offer a $25,000 credit to replace shingle roof with metal roofing, and may offer owner financing with substantial down. 20 miles to the south side of Santa Fe, 57 miles to the Albuquerque airport, and near dining and entertainment opportunities in Madrid and Cerrillos.
