143 Heritage Rd, Hillsboro, NM 88042

Discover the ultimate blend of luxury, durability, and serene desert living in this exceptional custom-built property nestled on over 70 acres in the breathtaking landscapes of Lake Valley, NM. This meticulously crafted single-story home boasts a robust steel frame construction with red iron I-beams and aluminum secondary supports, finished in elegant exterior stucco and crowned by a premium commercial metal roof featuring 8 inches of foam insulation for superior energy efficiency. Inside, enjoy high-end finishes like Venetian plaster walls throughout, Pella Architectural series casement windows and doors, radiant heating in three-zoned cement floors, and ceiling fans in every room-resulting in impressively low utility costs for electricity and a 320-gallon propane tank filled only twice yearly for the boiler, hot water, and 48-inch Wolf gas stove. The gourmet kitchen is a chef's dream, featuring a Wolf double-oven range with 6 burners and built-in grill, Silestone quartz counters, KraftMaid hickory Amhurst-style cabinets, a Kohler double-basin stainless sink with drain board, and modern GE refrigerator/dishwasher-plus a new Samsung front-loading washer/dryer nearby. The open great room showcases custom built-in shelves milled from local lumber in Reserve, NM, while a dedicated office offers a built-in counter desk and bookcase. The primary bedroom retreat includes a spacious ensuite with a no-step tiled walk-in shower, Kohler fixtures (including bidet), and large walk-in closet. Additional highlights include solid 6-panel wood interior doors with lever handles, newly installed custom bamboo woven wood blinds in bedrooms, custom vanities in bathrooms, and office, a dedicated screened-in patio with flagstone flooring off the dining area for enjoying the views, and high-speed internet via newly installed Ethos Broadband. And there is room to build a horse barn or similar and other outbuildings. Note that while this expansive acreage offers incredible potential in a peaceful rural setting, it is part of an HOA, and no grazing, mineral, wind, or solar rights are included. This rare gem combines uncompromising quality with off-grid-ready efficiency in one of New Mexico's most scenic valleys-your private sanctuary awaits!
