Method: Authentic Load-Bearing Adobe on concrete stem walls. Architectural plans available.
Thermal Mass Efficiency: 8"–10" thick adobe walls providing high thermal capacitance.
Thermal Performance: Unlike standard R-13 insulation, these walls function as a "thermal battery," absorbing solar gain during the day and radiating heat at night—a "Phantom R-Value" equivalent to R-20+ in the New Mexico high-desert climate.
Finishes: Exposed adobes, rare hand-hewn two tone vigas from Taos NM, wood beams, brick flooring, radiant heat WIRSBO, Tankless water heater large capacity.
2. Land & Perimeter Security
Acreage: 10.01 Net Acres. (plat available)
Fencing: Full perimeter wired on T-posts fencing and gated.
Investment Value: Current 2025 replacement cost for 10-acre fencing is estimated at $35,000 – $45,000 due to terrain and material costs.
Elevation: 6,400 feet (Optimized for 75%+ unobstructed view sheds).
3. Support Structures & Utility
Oversized Garage: 650 sq. ft. (Reinforced slab for workshop/heavy equipment use).
Carport: oversized for 3rd vehicle additional covered parking.
Creative Studio/office: 144 sq. ft. finished detached workspace (Equipped with [Electric/Heat/water/restroom/washer dryer hookups]).
Storage Outbuilding: 8' x 16' (128 sq. ft.) dedicated equipment shed.
4. Private Utilities (Independent Systems)
Well: Private domestic well. Starting at 180 feet to 280 feet, measured at 5 gallons per minute. Well Rapport available. (NM-14 corridor wells typically hit deep, high-quality aquifers). "The property features a high-reliability private well (proven 5 GPM at 280' depth). This yield exceeds FHA/VA requirements and provides full-service water capacity for a 2.5-bath residence plus studio without the need for auxiliary storage. In today’s market, replicating this water infrastructure alone represents a $35,000+ capital investment."
Septic: conventional system. To be Inspected and permitted under Santa Fe County/NMED standards upon an approved offer.
Water Rights: Standard domestic allowance per NM Office of the State Engineer.
