This is two properties being sold as one. Multi generational living or income generating. A rare offering in Northern Santa Fe County, this solar-powered berm home and guest house sit on two acres beside protected public land, where expansive views, established gardens, and access to nearby trails define the setting. Located approximately 30 minutes from Santa Fe and Los Alamos, the property blends Southwest architectural character with a thoughtfully cultivated landscape.
Gardens lovingly tended for more than two decades surround the home with fruit trees, vegetables, flowering plants, and open skies. The property includes approximately 5,300 square feet of living space with a main residence and a separate guest house, offering a total of 6 beds, one office and 4 bathrooms. The guest house includes 3 bedrooms and 1 bath and may provide flexible use for guests, multi-generations, or as a rental.
The south-facing main residence features an open-concept great room and kitchen with custom handmade cabinetry, skylights, traditional vigas, Saltillo tile flooring, a large walk-in pantry with full-size refrigerator, and a newer dishwasher. A spacious 700-square-foot studio/sunroom with high ceilings and 7-foot south-facing windows overlooks a courtyard garden.
The main level includes one office and one full bath, while the lower level offers three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and additional storage. The primary bath features a Jacuzzi tub.
The main home was constructed as a solar-powered berm home which provides natural energy efficiency and stable interior temperatures throughout the year. Additional features include evaporative cooling, wall-mounted panel heaters, a Scandinavian wood stove, and a gas-powered Adobelite kiva fireplace.
Outdoor spaces include expansive views, a rooftop seating area, and an established orchard and gardens supported by a 10,000-gallon rainwater catchment cistern with automated drip irrigation. A new septic tank and leach field were installed in August 2024. Zoned Traditional Community: potential for multiple dwellings or retreat center.
