Best of both worlds, idyllic country living and 10 minutes to town and amenities! As you drive through the gate you will have no idea what the compound offers: first you will see fruit trees - with crops of pears/apples/peaches! Walk through the entrance door and you'll see established landscaping, a fountain to attract birds, a sense of calm and privacy: both sunny and shaded areas, always the Santa Fe big blue sky! For general living you will have a wonderful adobe passive solar home with the original charm yet all the updates (like new Andersen windows) plus a truly spiffy new kitchen! The studio is set apart and would welcome an artist, a writer, someone who seeks a solitary retreat. The studio has lots of windows for natural light, brick floors and a wood stove. The 2 story guesthouse - attached to the main house but otherwise out of sight and out of mind. The owner has used this both for guests & long term rentals. Next, the garage! This isn't just a place for your car - there is ample room for two cars with a completely separate bay for an RV, plus extra room for a big workshop - and it's all heated! This property is part of the Historic Village of Agua Fria and with that benefit you'll have county taxes and protections of the historic agreement. You'll see 4 catchment cisterns for landscaping. Because of the passive solar aspect, heat in the winter costs about $30 monthly. A good location for the commute to Los Alamos as well!
