A rare private retreat, this magnificent compound is located only 50 miles north of Albuquerque. The secluded walkable 6.7-acre property is bordered by Bureau of Land Management acreage and features a 5,000-square-foot home with 12 versatile rooms, a 500-square-foot guesthouse, a 576-square-foot workshop, and a detached seven-car garage. The masterful green-built hacienda features 10- and 12-foot ceilings with vigas and latillas, natural earthen plaster, an indoor pool, a theater, an office, a Dynamic three-person infrared sauna, radiant in-floor heat, and a commercial-grade steel roof. Double adobe walls create a quiet ambience and maximize heating, cooling, and general energy efficiency. Cooks will appreciate the kitchen’s Lacanche gas range, travertine sink with a wall-mounted copper and brass Herbeau faucet, and oversized pantry. The theater boasts a large screen and a top-quality JVC projector. Many rooms access the outdoors via custom French doors, and the office and the studio could easily serve as additional bedrooms. The pool is constructed of poured concrete with full stainless-steel benching, a vinyl liner, and a raised travertine surround. The charming guesthouse offers a kitchenette, a three-quarter bath, and an enamel and brass Parlour pellet stove. The concrete driveway is secured by a steel entry gate. The property also includes framing for a high tunnel hoop house garden and provides ample space for horses. Furnishings are available and negotiable.
