Nestled between the Jemez River & Santa Fe Mountains, you will surely find each sunset & sunrise irresistible. Explore the property by walking the multiple paths throughout the property, crossing the road & hiking up the mountains or perching yourself on top of the highest rock. Lots to explore for both adults & kids. Along with two wood burning Kivas, electric heaters/heating and radiant floors during winter. Fans in bedrooms & portable AC units/fans, which can be moved room to room. At night you can open the European style side-opening windows for a soft breeze as you listen to desert animals.

You will notice many artistic elements throughout the home. The home was designed & build by a lifelong artist who crafted the tilework pieces in the ledges of the windowsills, tile surrounds, bench seating next to windows & more. True adobe home w/artistic details to match at every spot. Watch the movie of 'my parents' designing and building the home from hand & you will surely see how much care was taken into every artistic inch of the home.
