10A Via La Puente

This historic Hacienda embodies the essence of old-world New Mexico charm and a true Galisteo history with the spirit of this old adobe reflecting the lore, legend and mystery of the Galisteo Basin. Beginning in the 1800s this was the Headquarters of Don Jose Ortiz y Pino's sheep empire - a gathering place, a general store - and more recently, for several decades beginning in the late 1970s this was the home, studio and gallery of the award-winning potter and visual artist Priscilla Hoback, and a source of creative nurturing for the arts community. This iconic estate is nestled in the center of Galisteo Village, still with its vibrant art scene, and the long portal of the art gallery sits along a central road. Behind the gallery and studio is the large adobe main house, with its intimate and grand spaces. The hacienda is composed of two wings - one with a single bedroom and bathroom, the other with two bedrooms and two bathrooms. There is a large library, grand living room, formal dining room, several unique fireplaces and an array of charming details. The generous inner courtyard is an oasis of calm; the ancient willow tree casts shade on the koi pond, the gnarled old apricot tree frames the main doorway under a second large portal. This, combined with the central kitchen and spacious living room, create a home that is perfect for entertaining and large receptions. The property is verdant with a variety of mature trees, fruit trees and flower gardens. There are outbuildings for storage. So much potential and so many possibilities - come make YOUR history in Galisteo
