From the moment you step inside, this contemporary adobe home feels truly special. Set on two lots totaling 11.78 acres, it was built by Ken Forlow, a renowned local builder known for his artistic vision and exceptional attention to handcrafted detail. Thick adobe walls provide natural insulation from summer heat and winter cold. The curved great room features a kiva fireplace and views across the pines to the distant Zuni Mountains. The primary bedroom has its own kiva fireplace and an adjoining sunroom with a separate entrance.A large, shaded courtyard wraps around the home, creating a private outdoor living space with views in every direction. Stairs lead to a rooftop sitting area--an ideal spot for Dark Sky stargazing or watching the sunrise. Handcrafted wood cabinetry, a kitchen tile mural, art niches, stained glass, and dimmable living-room lights that resemble the night sky are among the home's many thoughtful details.The radiant-floor heating system contains Kitec plumbing. It has operated without issue, a pressure regulator is installed, and a plumber's report is available.Located approximately 2.5 hours from Albuquerque, the property offers privacy and open space within Timberlake Ranch, a friendly community with HOA dues of just $600 per year. Photos cannot capture the craftsmanship, peaceful courtyard, and remarkable setting--plan a visit and experience this one-of-a-kind property for yourself.
