Description
Located in the historic Jacona Plaza set in the verdant river valley is a rare Northern New Mexico retreat where history, artistry, and modern comfort converge. Although the setting feels peaceful and timeless, the property is ideally located just 20 minutes from Santa Fe and 15 minutes from Los Alamos, offering easy access to culture, dining, and employment while preserving a true sense of escape. The approximately 3,047 sq. ft. adobe home reflects generations of craftsmanship, with portions of the original structure thoughtfully preserved and enhanced through extensive restoration. Historic water rights, an active acequia system dating back to the 1700s, and a 2,000-gallon rainwater catchment system underscore the property’s enduring relationship with the land and its sustainable traditions. Inside, abundant natural light fills the home through expansive windows, French doors, and skylights, illuminating authentic architectural details such as hand-carved vigas, wood, brick, mud floors, and multiple fireplaces. The flowing layout connects a spacious living room to a well-appointed cook’s kitchen and gathering area, anchored by a striking dining room ideal for both intimate meals and larger celebrations. Three bedrooms and three bathrooms are thoughtfully arranged to provide comfort and privacy. Outdoor spaces are equally inviting, beginning with a traditional enclosed courtyard accented by fountains. Mature landscaping surrounds an elegant patio, raised-bed vegetable gardens, and a small fruit orchard, all set against sweeping views of the Barrancas. Completing the property is a newly constructed 381 sq. ft. art studio—an inspiring space for creative work, a private office, or quiet retreat. Set on approximately .815 acres, this property offers the tranquility of a historic river valley setting with the convenience of being minutes from Highway 502, Highway 285, Santa Fe, Los Alamos, and Taos—an uncommon opportunity to enjoy the best of Northern New Mexico living.
