This is quintessential Northern New Mexico. The location, on the outskirts of the historic village of El Rito, boasts creek frontage and easy access to beautiful forest land just down the road. The home was originally built in 1880 and was updated and restored in 2006. There are wonderful architectural details everywhere with lots of light, spacious rooms, and ample storage. The floors are tile and wood with extra tile included in the sale. There is even a cellar, though it is currently floored over with no access. The outdoor spaces offer stunning views, privacy, and a pond/fountain. There is a 660 sq ft studio/shop space with 220 service but no heat right now. Adjacent are some old sheds that could be put to use in many ways. The chain link dog fencing will be removed. The guesthouse is charming and currently has a composting toilet but can be hooked up to the septic system. Closer to the river there is a two horse barn with a pipe fenced turnout.The location is rural with dark night skies, quiet, privacy, and wildlife. El Rito offers a medical/dental clinic, community library, local elementary school, annual art tours, and the famous Farolito Restaurant. Please do not attempt to enter the property without a confirmed appointment. The dogs are dangerous.

About 60 miles north of Santa Fe, Abiquiu and surrounding communities of El Rito, Gallina, Ojo Caliente and Chama to the north are some of the most beautiful landscapes New Mexico has to offer.
