    About this Property

    A Sustainable Estate in the southern Rocky Mountains of northern New Mexico can be yours. This Eco-Masterpiece is located on 45+ acres of native forest and wildlife habitat. Privacy and seclusion are secured on all sides with the north boundary being the 130,000-acre historic CS Ranch. This solar sanctuary is situated in the Angel Fire Resort, just off the Enchanted Circle of New Mexico. Beautiful - Indoors and Out, Practical, Resilient. The 14 original, contiguous lots have been combined to make up the 45 acres with the home that has been built with green and sustainable features. This property will continue to provide privacy, security, energy, food and enjoyment for generations to come. It was designed with the vision to survive the challenges of the future. That's what sets it apart. With views of the Wheeler range, this mighty three-story 8,074 sq. ft Eco-block home is built to endure the elements and last for generations. There are 6,784 heated and finished sq. ft of dramatic living space and two interior greenhouses, created by carefully selected local craftsmen. The first floor features an attached authentic adobe casita with its own full kitchen, custom cabinetry and furniture, and a separate entrance. The casita has been in a successful short-term rental program, with numerous five-star reviews which are available for you to see. Also in this total square footage, on the first floor are 575 sq ft of utility and mechanical rooms, extensive storage, and a 715 sq ft space designed and laid out as a separate apartment with its own entrance ready for you to complete to your liking. See floor plan included in the photos gallery of this listing. There are 2,500 sq ft of tiered, organic gardens in the walled outdoor area and two manicured food and flower producing greenhouses inside - one in the Atrium hot tub room, and a larger one adjacent to the main kitchen to facilitate preparing fresh food. The spacious light-filled kitchen has been fully upgraded with high quality appliances and special granite countertops. This intelligent home has many solar features - from electricity and heating which includes a whole-house radiant floor system as well as passive solar features due to the perfect solar alignment of the home. The whole home is a green design, built with many green features (see the list in the photo gallery) that provide energy efficiency, comfort, strength, and durability. You must see this to truly appreciate the craftsmanship in every room - from the vaulted ceilings, beautiful local beams and vigas, to the stunning floor-to-ceiling rock wall in the living room. The forest is a wonderful place for walks, picnics, sleds in winter, many kinds of games and large gatherings of family and friends. There is ultra high-speed fiber-optic internet and Wi-Fi throughout. Modern solar panel sun-tracking racks with updated batteries cut utility bills by an estimated 50%. Solar Thermal panels quietly supply the primary heat day and night. Located minutes from the Angel Fire Resort ski mountain, and its nationally recognized mountain bike terrain park, year-round outdoor activities are available for you, your family and friends. A PGA-rated golf course, a beautiful country club with dining, tennis courts, and a lake fully stocked with trout are only some of the Resort amenities close by. The Angel Fire Airport, a fifteen-minute drive, has a jet-capable runway for private aircraft and now there are five weekly round-trip Advanced Air flights from Albuquerque. Good news... Mosquitoes, chiggers, no-see-ums, fleas and poisonous snakes choose not to live at this altitude. The average summer temperature in Angel Fire is 76 degrees with little to no humidity. Only one Base membership is required for the 45+ acres of forest, meadows and woodlands surrounding your home.
