Eldorado has covenants protecting the night sky, so you'll enjoy a dome of glittering stars from the several walled patios and complete peace as the moon sails by. The immediate neighborhood is blissfully quiet, on a rare paved road for Eldorado and at its perimeter, with open ranch land to the north and west so there's no traffic whatsoever, just the occasional lowing cow or yipping coyote. Eldorado is threaded with trails and the rail trail (5 min. drive) is wide-well maintained hike-and-bike path into open land that you can follow all the way north to Santa Fe or south to Lamy. The Eldorado Wilderness is an expansive preserve with many trails, while the Galisteo Basin Preserve lies about 15 minutes south. Eldorado has two small community shopping centers with grocery, post office, hardware, gym, several interesting local restaurants, coffee shop, and other small businesses. Note: attached casita will be occupied. Neither property can be seen from the interior or outpaces of the other. Casita is functionally independent except for washer/dryer; house tenant must allow use of house laundry at mutually agreed day/time. Maximum 2 month lease only. References and security deposit required. Non-smokers only. Must share w/d with casita tenant. $3450/month. Excellent wifi with dedicated network (separate network from casita). Pet considered. (note: a cat will have been in the property for a several weeks before lease period begins) Email through Zillow with information about yourself and why you need a short term rental, and I will get back to you. If you reply only using Zillow's "request application" function, I won't answer. The house is very nice and fastidiously maintained, and I expect tenants to keep that up. A 2.5 month tenant must have housecleaning by my housekeeper at the halfway point ($160).
