If you think the New Mexico high desert is dry and barren, you need to see this property. Maybe that's why it was chosen as a homestead in 1890, although artifacts have been found dating back to 1200 AD. A copy of President Benjamin Harrison's land grant is included with this sale. An extraordinarily well constructed, 2222 sq ft solid home with 14" think adobe walls, was built in 1891.

The original dwelling was expanded to 3442 sq ft(1200 of which has been used as a shop) and modernized 12 years ago with new electrical and plumbing to meet current building codes(this includes huge workshop/ or could be additional living quarters). The majority of new construction is masonry and steel. The authentic feel of the old west remains, while modern conveniences have been added, like the hot tub in the enclosed courtyard & high speed internet. 

The house is set upon 12.2 acres, additionally there are three surveyed, partially developed home sites available (including underground electric conduit and telephone), with spectacular views, seasonal ponds and streams and creative potential. There are restrictive covenants allowing only site built homes covering this property and a large area adjacent to it. One home site comes complete with professionally designed house plans and a 600 foot cased well.

Currently 1200 sq ft of the dwelling is used as a workshop and has large windows to take advantage of light and beautiful trees on the property. This area is well insulated and is heated with a large wood-burning stove and could easily be converted to a huge family room, or even an in-law's quarters.(2200+ is house space)

A large wood-burning stove keeps the entire house warm and cozy. Individually controlled baseboard heating exists throughout, although rarely used, and no cooling is required in this massive well-insulated adobe house.

 Floors are custom wood and Saltillo tile with 2 rooms with Berber carpet. Custom wood doors and cabinets add a nice touch. A 500 ft sq ft deck over the garage is accessed through 2nd.floor kitchen.

( Expansion plans

The deck affords views of the surrounding hillsides, mature cottonwoods, pinon, and junipers. This is great for viewing the sleepy sunrises, romantic sunsets, as well as the inky, dark New Mexican skies, which affords one awe-inspiring views of the heavens. Deer, rabbits, bear, wild turkeys, elk, crickets, and squirrels abound. There are seasonal streams and ponds and for bird lovers, myriad species abound.

There is a dependable well with a reverse osmosis system for drinking water, as well as 500 gallons of rainwater storage beneath the 236 sq ft attached greenhouse and 1300 additional gallons of storage under the over-sized garage. Additionally, there is 4500 gallons of potable water storage....

For horse lovers there are four metal horse corrals and an 840 sq ft. metal barn and a large sandy area adjacent to the barn for an arena. The Gila National Forest is one accessible mile away and u can ride trails adjacent to the property. (no trailer needed to get there) This is a pristine, quiet, safe haven filled with the bountiful gifts of nature all around you.
