Nestled in a grove of tall cottonwoods, juniper & pinon, along a perpetually flowing creek, this beautiful adobe home is a must see! A unique two-story home sits on approximately 5.56 acres of open meadows & shady trees, adjacent to the Carson National Forest, with excellent hiking, biking, fishing & horseback riding opportunities right out your back door. Excellent for anyone who enjoys spending time in the great outdoors.
The lower level of the house has loads of character & an organic feel: a spacious, circular open-concept living area & kitchen, with thick adobe walls & arched windows, accented with stone & wood. The countertops are a gorgeous polished sandstone, crafted by a local sculptor. The high ceiling is made from exposed pine vigas & cedar & aspen latillas. Pass through a one-of-a-kind doorway, hand-made by another local artisan, to the laundry room & a full bath with Mexican tile. The upper level contains two bedrooms, a full bath, an office space & a sitting room or studio room which could be a 3rd bedroom. Views of the Sangre de Cristo mountains & the hills toward the Embudo & Rio Grande valleys. At night, starry skies dazzle overhead. The house has a reliable, high-speed fiber optic internet line to work from home. Heat is provided by radiant floors, baseboard hot water & two efficient wood stoves, one located in the living room & the other upstairs in the sitting room/studio. The home has its own private well, with a new pressure tank & switch in the well house. A new septic system was recently installed. The property is located on a county-maintained road with trash pickup service. There is plenty of room for your dogs, horses & other animals. The desirable community of Dixon, with its food co-op, library, wineries & restaurant, is located appx 5 miles from the property. Sipapu Ski Resort is not more than a 30 minute drive. Taos is a 45 minute drive, while Santa Fe is an hour away.
