A home like this comes on the market once in a "blue moon"! In fact this particular homestead has been off the market for nearly 20 years. Situated on the famous Old Santa Fe Trail, 8m from downtown Santa Fe, a 600 ft driveway lifts you to stunning views of the Pecos & Galisteo Basin as well as the Sandia & Jemez, not to mention looking down over the "City Different". At night, stargazing is a favorite attraction. Never seen the Milky Way Galaxy? Just walk out the back door and look up. Extraordinary! Nature abounds; Mule deer, fox, bobcats come to the windows to introduce themselves. Bird watchers? Rack up hundreds of sightings & be at the top of the competition. Hikers? Endless hiking paths on the 4+ acre property lead you to the National Forest. Environmentalists? Virtually energy free, passive, sun faced windows provide ample heat in the winter, w/pellet stove & propane stove for occasional backup.

At this elevation, beautiful, tall Ponderosa, dense Pinon, apple and mahogany trees abound. This real adobe handcrafted home helps keep temperatures stable year round. Natural brick & wood floors, knotty pine beams, walls, and ceilings complement the living room, kitchen, dining, "bottle room", pantry, 3 bedrooms, and two and a half baths in an interesting split level configuration.
