About This Home

Bienvenidos! Welcome to your perfect high-desert sanctuary right here in the heart of the Ojo Caliente valley, situated a mere 2.3 miles south of the renowned Ojo Caliente Mineral Springs Resort and Spa. This property presents a rare opportunity to own an immaculately cared-for home resting on a sizable three-quarter-acre lot just down the road from one of the state's most beloved attractions, and many other attractions not much further way. The versatile three-bedroom, two-bathroom residence is ideal for full-time country living, a peaceful part-time getaway, or a highly successful short-term rental in a highly sought-after neighborhood with limited housing options. Adding to its incredible adaptability, the home's layout provides the distinct potential to be split into two separate units, offering a fantastic opportunity to maximize dual rental income or comfortably host extended family. Families will also appreciate the location, which boasts convenient access to many great options for schools in the surrounding community to suit every educational need with fantastic schools. Inside, gorgeous, newly refinished hardwood floors flow beautifully throughout the home, complementing two recently redone bathrooms and a bright, spacious sunroom off the main living area that includes a convenient attached home office with plenty of natural sunlight and warmth from the solar passive; the wood stove is also a nice touch which keeps the home comfortable in the winter. Some photos have been virtually staged to spark creativity. Outside, the expansive yard serves as a wonderful blank canvas featuring a sizable storage shed, ample room for gardening, and a separately fenced, gated area ideal for livestock or building an additional rental structure. Imagine ending your day in absolute tranquility, sitting around a cozy firepit with the family under a sweeping, star-filled high-desert sky. Set back from the highway for ultimate privacy yet offering incredibly convenient access, the property is surrounded by rich valley land, dramatic cliffside mesas, and ancient cottonwoods lining the historic acequias. From this idyllic home base, enjoy an easy commute to Española and Santa Fe for exceptional shopping and dining, along with an ideal, highly convenient route for professionals commuting to Los Alamos National Laboratory. For weekend recreation, take a scenic trip through the Carson National Forest to Taos for premier skiing, Rio Grande river adventures, and exploring the Taos Plaza, or make a quick journey in the other direction to tranquil Hopewell Lake for excellent fishing and spotting wild horses in the nearby alpine meadows. Blending timeless natural beauty with unbeatable versatility, this truly couldn't be a more perfect place to call your own in the Land of Enchantment.
