High desert permaculture oasis! 3-bedroom, 2-bath, 3066 square foot home, with large bonus room with it's own entry that could serve as studio, office, or another bedroom, nestled in towering cottonwoods on three lots totaling almost 18 acres along the lower Arroyo Hondo, with an intermittent spring and a year-round pond. This working permaculture farm produces nursery stock and landscaping plants, as well as generous amounts of food for family and friends, with a chicken coop, two 360 sq. ft. hoop houses and roughly 8/10ths of an acre in cultivation, including gardens and fruit trees. Set up for energy efficiency, with owned solar panels, a greenhouse attached to the house for ample solar gain, rainwater catchment, the house provides year round comfort. Inside, the main living area features high beamed ceilings and plaster walls, a cozy high-efficiency wood stove, and Saltillo tile. The kitchen features stainless steel appliances, the bathrooms have been recently updated, and the primary suite opens to a second story deck to take it all in. Sellers have done substantial recent work to decks, stucco, windows and roof. All of this less than three miles from city limits and a quarter mile from Ojo Santa Fe.
La Cienega means “the swamp” in Spanish, but don’t be fooled by that name. It’s a historic area that was an important stop on the El Camino Real, the royal road from Santa Fe to Mexico City. With larger lots that are dotted with juniper and pinon, La Cienega is a beautiful place to own a home. Homes on lower elevations are lush with mature cottonwoods.
This rapidly growing area with plans for expansion extending into the 2050’s is largely made up of rolling hills dotted with pinon and juniper. Most of the communities located here have extraordinary views of the Jemez, the Sangres and the Sandias.
