Located in the historic village of Agua Fria, this adobe hacienda is authentic Santa Fe. It is located on a quiet cul-de-sac, which used to be El Camino Real, the royal road from Mexico to the northern province. Originally, in the early 1900s, there were three adobes built by three brothers. Later “the women from back East” joined the houses, making a 7000 square foot building. When I bought it 10 years ago, it was a college of Chinese Medicine. I recently moved into the main 2000 square foot self-contained unit and did extensive remodeling. I have a Great Room, a large kitchen, two bedrooms with queen beds, and one bath. I am now landscaping the adjoining field and have added a pond and waterfall for outdoor relaxation.

This two-acre property has a quiet country atmosphere, yet is only 6 miles south of the central Plaza in downtown Santa Fe, a short 15-minute drive to galleries, museums, shopping, and restaurants. There are markets and restaurants within a mile or two of the house, five minutes by car. It is near the 599 By-pass, so has easy access to Albuquerque and northern New Mexico. You do need a car; I offer my 2006 AWD Volvo for exchange.

There are friendly and discreet neighbors on the property, all mature adults. There is a fenced back yard, still waiting for more landscaping; currently there is a comfortable patio with a grill. This is a very peaceful location, on the plain near the riverbed, with mountain views and lots of sky.

I live alone and please note, the cat you will see in my photos is no longer with me. I now have a brother and sister cats who are two years old and friendly but independant. I’ve done lots of wonderful exchanges from my previous property, and now I’m pleased to offer this uniquely beautiful, well-appointed adobe, situated on the edge of the charming city of Santa Fe. I usually travel alone, but sometimes a friend joins me.
