About This Home
A Welcoming Family Legacy in the Questa Greenbelt. Perfectly positioned on 3.35 lush acres directly behind the Questa Eagle Rock fishing lake, this estate is the ultimate setting for a multi-generational family legacy. Its location near the pristine Cabresto Lake makes it a dream for families who love to fish, hike, and explore the outdoors together. Nestled in the foothills of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, the property offers a front-row seat to spectacular vistas of Flag Mountain and Sentinel Peak, capturing the very best of our local high-country skyline. The estate boasts a total of 3,120 sq. ft. of thoughtfully designed living space. The expansive 2,100 sq. ft. four-bedroom, three-bath two-story main house is crafted for gathering, with vaulted ceilings and large windows that invite the beauty of the high desert indoors. The heart of the residence is anchored by beautiful hand-carved cabinetry, adding a touch of authentic Northern New Mexico heritage and warmth to your family dinners. To complement the main residence, a charming 1,020 sq. ft. two-bedroom, one-bath guest house provides the perfect space for grandparents, adult children, or visiting friends to feel right at home. This property is a gateway to adventure and serves as a premier base camp for the avid hunter, offering easy access to some of the finest big game hunting in Northern New Mexico. You are also just minutes from world-class skiing at Red River and Taos Ski Valley, and a short, scenic drive from neighboring Taos, where the vibrant artistic life and the dramatic soul of the Rio Grande Gorge offer endless inspiration. Whether you are hosting a summer barbecue after a day at the lake or gathering by the fireplace after a successful trek through the wilderness, this estate offers a rare chance to grow your family’s future surrounded by the natural beauty and deep culture of Questa.
