1053 State Highway 338, Animas, NM 88020

Located in the peaceful farming and ranching community of Animas, New Mexico, USA is this custom-built home on 10 acres. The home is located just off of NM Hwy338, a quiet and lightly-traveled two-lane blacktop that intersects US I-10 about 10 miles to the north, thus assuring easy all-weather access year round. The ranch-style, site-built home was hand-crafted in about 1990 and remains in an exceptionally clean and well-maintained condition to this day. Special features of the 2300+ sf, 2-bedroom/2-bath home include a large family room accessed from both front and rear entries, a spacious living room, front and rear covered "cowboy" porches each supported by massive log vigas, expansive big-sky views of the surrounding desert lands and mountain ranges in the distance, a well-designed and efficient kitchen area with more than ample prep countertop space and a large lighted walk-in food storage panty. The home also offers many strategically-placed windows that invites the natural light indoors. A roomy, well-lit and completely finished-out basement houses the laundry area, electric water heater, and well pressure tank, with tons of space remaining for an office, workshop, gym, craft area, art studio, or additional guest room. Outdoors, you will find a huge fenced-off backyard area containing numerous metal-boxed raised garden beds for rearing your own home-grown vegetables and decorative plants in the mild climate characteristic of southwestern New Mexico. While the home presently sits on 10 acres of unrestricted county land, it is adjacent to an additional seller-owned ~520 acres, a portion of which could become available at a future date for possible expansion. Although the Animas Valley region is rural in nature, a strong family-oriented community spirit lives here with year round social activities and many outdoor recreational opportunities. This well-maintained property is absolutely move-in ready and available now at an incredibly affordable price point. So...if you have been searching for a less hectic and lower-stress lifestyle, well away from urban overcrowding and high property taxes, look no further. This property may not last long on today's market, so consider coming out for a visit soon to view all this property has to provide before it disappears.
