Such a deal!! In the country, but not so far from the city..

My plight is your delight!! Own your very own Spanish Ranch House....well, at least that's what it reminds ME of- see the attached slide show and form your own conclusion. This baby is just hungry for her next comitted owner. Its horse country out here, just 18 miles east of Albuquerque in the mountains, and most of the lots in this well planned, naturally beautiful and spacious subdivision are 2.5 acres. The house is located about 1-1/4 miles to the south of South Mountain, last mountain in the San Pedro chain, in the Edgewood area, at about 7,000' elevation. South Mountain's beauty literally 'smash-mouth's you' directly from your back sliding glass doors, see the slide slow. The house is mostly brick floor, of elegant interior design, easy to clean, and helps you stay cool without a lot of extra expense in the summer. Big kitchen/living room 'eat in bar' with lots of space and seating. Pleasant large front and huge back property where you can do anything from pitch horse shoes to fence it in for horses or other animals, at your pleasure. Zoned for horses. Wonderful neighbors who are pleasant but not too nosy! I'm a former Congressional candidate who is opting for either White House staff with a new Administration or relocation to water somewhere. Winter heating via either an excellent Ashley wood burning stove centrally located in the house, see slides, else wise via ETS (Electro Thermal System) ceramic brick units that store energy during the electrical off-peak time @ 3.97 cents per KWH, then dispense same whenever you please. Allowing that I'm single, I've been paying only around $40 a month for water, which comes from a multiple well system in the area known as 'Entranosa.' Electric power- currently only the kitchen stove is on the 50 gallon propane tank in the back yard- has been running roughly $100-250 per month, the latter during the coldest part of winter, with the ETS units engaged more continuously. If you decided to engage the Ashley in the wintertime, your costs would be less. I haven't needed A/C much to date, since its 5-10 degrees cooler out here in the mountains than in ABQ, and there are lots of windows and doors that can be opened in the summer to effect breezes whenever desired. There are, however, low cost, mobile cooling units available locally when and if you were to find it necessary. 'Perfect' house for solar panels, since it faces southerly with a dual-pitched Galvalum (metal) roof. Had I remained, I might have installed solar panels to largely or entirely eliminate the Electric Power Coop bills, unless complimented by a windmill in the back yard. If you like the beauty of New Mexico, but prefer to be in the country with quick access to 'the big city,' this is the home for you. Large, beautiful master bedroom and bath, along with two smaller bedrooms, a family room and 'extra' room that you can decide the role of. Washer, dryer and laundry sink in the extra bathroom, and fully enclosed sliding door showers in both baths, with a tub to boot in the extra. I'll tell you everything that's 'right' about this property, along with a few things that could still be improved a bit, and we'll work out or modify a Sales and Purchase Agreement that we're both comfortable with. The house has a beautiful tiled breezeway and soon to be completed enclosed, oversized three car garage, with plenty of extra storage 'in the rafters' above and provision for a heater below. The place is, rigorously constructed, roomy and comfortable, ready for me to move out and for you to move in. Happy to sell with current furnishings or without, your choice. All double-paned windows. Look over the pics, and if this is the place for you, call me anytime after 9 AM and up to 10 PM Mountain Time, and lets see if we have a connection. 'By the way,' unless you have extremely sensitive feet, it will take you only a few days to get used to going barefoot on the brick floor. A spacious office, with large windows looking out  the front of the place, is carpeted. The breezeway, as I mentioned above, is now tile covered, and the garage floor is concrete. I personally prefer to run barefoot throughout the house. Obviously very pet and other animal friendly.
