This farm was homesteaded in the early 1800s when Hispanic and French farmers came up Canana de Alamosa from the Rio Grande. They built adobe homes and churches in two villages, Placitas and what is now Monticello. Currently ranchers, farmers, crafts men and women join with artists, retired people and those who use computers to make a living in this charming community. The Acequia binds the community and the clean air, water, beautiful high desert mountains and diverse wildlife complete the picture. This farm carved out by first settlers, has gardens, pasture and mature orchard. The comfortable 100 yr old adobe home sits on a bluff above the farmland and has been upgraded with large windows, porches, a spacious country kitchen and an adobe walled courtyard. Close to the home is the shop/barn and drive thru garage with 9'10" drive through doors. The Acequia is the historic community irrigation system governed by NM state statues. Water rights for this property are included. The property is convenient to Truth or Consequences on paved roads with breathtaking views of the San Mateo and Black Range mountains. New NMED approved septic in 2015. Check out Monticello on google.
