HERE’S YOUR OPPORTUNITY to make this Land of Enchantment classic, known locally and affectionately as the Rock House, your personal sanctuary or investment. Only about three dozen of these distinctive, solidly constructed, native-stone storybook abodes were ever built in the picturesque, art-infused and wonderfully unhurried town of Truth or Consequences during the first half of the 20th century. And this graceful example, situated on a spacious corner lot in a quiet, low-traffic neighborhood, is one of only a handful in the city's Historic Hot Springs District — with beautiful views of iconic Turtleback Mountain. It is located conveniently just a few blocks west of the Rio Grande and within walking distance of downtown's galleries, eclectic shops, historic El Cortez movie house, Geronimo Springs Museum, municipal outdoor pool, public parks and world-famous hot springs spa resorts. The Rock House has you well-covered with a brand-new metal roof, plus new electrical and plumbing throughout. Inside, charm and personality abound along with cozy, fresh, modern upgrades that include laminate flooring, an electric range + microwave, new refrigerator, quarry-look laminate and butcher block kitchen countertops, and electric AC/heating via new mini-split units. The kitchen flows into a small breakfast nook with its own north- and east-facing windows. One of the two bright and roomy bedrooms has its own exterior entrance, and the attached garage and huge, peaked attic offer ample storage capacity. The property holds several attractive possibilities for a new owner, including strong STR potential and live/work (home office, remote work) adaptability and comfort. Its location in the natural mineral hot springs district, which encompasses only about one square mile of the city, affords the buyer the future possibility of having a geothermal wellhead drilled on the property. Please call or send text message (include your name and contact number) to arrange for a showing! Truth or Consequences, located just off I-25 midway between Albuquerque and El Paso, boasts live music concerts, arts/entertainment festivals and special events throughout the year, as well as leisurely tubing on the Rio Grande, great hiking, and excellent fishing and kayaking at nearby Elephant Butte Lake and Caballo Lake. Just an hour north of Las Cruces, it is a pleasant half-hour commute to Spaceport America and a scenic half-hour drive to Hatch, the Chile Capital of the World. Come discover why this rare gem of a small city is popular with outdoor recreation enthusiasts, vacationers, artists, retirees and Hollywood motion picture productions! The south-central New Mexico location of Truth or Consequences is ideally situated for exploring all areas of the Land of Enchantment. It is less than half a day's drive from Denver, Las Vegas (NV), Dallas/Fort Worth and Palm Springs, CA.
