Step into a piece of Ruidoso history—completely reimagined for modern living. Originally constructed as two separate 1920s cabins, this remarkable property has undergone a meticulous three-year renovation, preserving its nostalgic character while delivering all the benefits of a new build. From a brand-new foundation to a new roof, every inch of this home has been thoughtfully rebuilt and upgraded.
The heart of the home blends classic cabin aesthetics with sleek, modern functionality. Inside, you'll find all-new electrical, plumbing, insulation, and high-efficiency windows. Remote-operated mini-split systems throughout the home provide customizable climate control for every season. The fully redesigned kitchen and bathrooms feature new cabinets, fixtures, and finishes ready for everyday use or weekend entertaining.
Timeless elements have been creatively integrated into the new construction. Repurposed barn tin from the original roof has become decorative skirting, and weathered wood siding has been reimagined as warm interior accents. These touches ground the home in its past while elevating its sense of place and style.
Outdoors, the fully fenced backyard is both attractive and functional, ideal for guests, pets, or peaceful evenings under the pines. Landscaping has been engineered for proper drainage and water control, ensuring long-term protection and beauty. A large storage shed and a reinforced attic with sealed flooring offer rare and practical storage solutions not often found in homes of this size.
Located just moments from Midtown, this home offers excellent access to shops, dining, and the river, making it a prime candidate for a short-term vacation rental. Its efficient layout, modern systems, and authentic cabin feel check all the boxes for today's travelers seeking a cozy mountain escape.
Additional features include:
Brand new high-efficiency mini-splits throughout
All-new kitchen and bath cabinetry, fixtures, and finishes
Reworked drainage and water control system
