8671 Rio Grande Blvd NW, Los Ranchos De Albuquerque, NM 87114

Love the artistic, colorful flair of classic Santa Fe/Taos adobe luxury architecture, but prefer something more centrally located in the Land of Enchantment? In the North Valley's Los Ranchos de Albuquerque, on a full acre of irrigated land along Rio Grande Blvd, this custom, one-of-a kind home and its guardian lizard await you. Walk through the partially covered courtyard, and upon entry to the home you get a sense of spaciousness, whimsy, and Southwest artistry, in the high Viga, Latilla, and Hammered Beam ceilings, exposed adobe and diamond plaster walls, artistic mosaics, and stone floor. Multiple living spaces, indoor and out, make it easy for generations to live together. The loft wing has a separate entrance for a studio, office, or, with a bedroom, bath, living space, and room to add a kitchenette, it could be private living quarters for parents, teens, or adult children starting out. This adobe home is efficient, with radiant in floor heat, and refrigerated air to complement passive nighttime cooling. The garage and workshop, with a half bath, and rooftop deck access for enjoying the night sky or balloons in flight, complete the home. Want more? There's plenty of room to add a pool, barn or both! Come home to the central Rio Grande Valley where you can get more for less and still enjoy the quality and style you expect from a classic Northern New Mexico adobe home.
