38 Forest Dr, Rociada, NM 87742

Pendaries’ most distinctive and historically significant home—this original residence with many updates and additions over the years, built by the first developer in Pendaries, C.D. (Toad) Leon, captures the essence of timeless design and an exceptional setting. Perfectly positioned along the golf course, the property showcases sweeping Sangre de Cristo mountains and Rociada valley views, offering a setting that is as captivating as it is private. Rich in character, the Spanish-style architecture welcomes you with Saltillo tile floors and classic vigas, creating an inviting setting from the moment you enter. The main level features a thoughtfully designed split two-bedroom, two-bath layout, including an owner’s suite with separate his-and-her sink and dressing areas connected by a Jack-and-Jill bath, all recently updated. And conveniently located off the primary suite is an office. A charming galley kitchen and eat-in-kitchen area is framed by natural light and scenic views, while the living and main dining area opens to both an open and covered spacious deck—designed to maximize both comfort, expanded living, and the stunning surroundings. Adding to the home’s uniqueness, a hidden staircase off the owner’s suite leads below to a sunroom and a private guest suite, both with separate entrances at ground level, offering flexibility for guests or rental income potential. A heated workshop and separate storage are also located at the lower level. A three-car garage provides ample space for vehicles, golf cart, and outdoor gear. Offered mostly furnished with some exceptions, this one-of-a-kind property combines history, charm, and an unbeatable location—an extraordinary find in the heart of Pendaries. Shopping and services about 25 minutes away in Las Vegas and short scenic drives to Taos or Santa Fe.
