The two houses at Casa Gratitude will make your heart sing! Passive solar! This authentic adobe northern New Mexico gem has been lovingly handworked since the late 1970s by the current owners, and consists of a 3 bedroom 1 bath main home and a 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom guest house. Located in Montezuma, just minutes from Las Vegas, the property overlooks the Gallinas River and dramatic rock face, and is moments from the Hot Springs and the UWC. The main house was designed by an architect to take advantage of the original existing adobe structure and incorporate passive solar gain. Dramatic lofted living room and greenhouse space, exposed beams, wood, brick and stone flooring, lovely country kitchen with antique wood cookstove and easy flow to the beautiful outdoor living spaces. The guest house - currently being used by the owner as an artist studio! - features exposed vigas, bay window, and attached greenhouse. City water serves the houses, plus the owners drilled an additional well (not currently in use) in 2014 allowing for additional gardening and landscape possibilities! Such a lovely, versatile property - schedule to take a look today!
