It doesn’t get much better than this! Set on 2.85 acres at the foot of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains just north of Questa, this unique off-grid property offers stunning mountain views, peaceful surroundings, and a 250’ seasonal acequia running through the property. Fully equipped for comfortable off-grid living, the property features a brand-new $30,000 solar system designed to power the entire property, a newly drilled 260-foot well, spacious well house, two outdoor water hydrants, two 2,300-gallon water storage tanks, and a 250-gallon propane tank. The property includes a fully equipped, 8’ X 24’ tiny home as well as a partially constructed 35’ X 35’ mortise and tenon timber frame main residence, all beautifully enclosed by one of the tightest and most impressive latilla privacy fences in New Mexico. The tiny home provides an ideal place to live while completing the main residence. Charming and thoughtfully designed, it features two lofts, a balcony, and panoramic views. It is also exceptionally well insulated and equipped, with non-toxic sheep’s wool insulation, 10-inch-thick Rockwool roof insulation, a custom wood-burning stove, wall heater, oven, farmhouse sink, and a deep copper bathtub insulated with sheep’s wool to help retain temprature. The partially constructed main residence has been built with top-grade materials and quality craftsmanship. The structure consists of three primary areas: a living area with loft on the south side, a centrally located metal shipping container, and a generously sized carport on the north side. The shipping container has been thoughtfully outfitted as a shop and utility area, complete with shelving, countertops, a deep freeze, and a washing machine. Security cameras are installed throughout the property, providing peace of mind and the opportunity to keep an eye on the abundant wildlife that visits the area. The seller intends to include many of the tools and materials needed to complete the main residence, offering a significant head start for the next owner. There are simply too many additional features, extras, and thoughtful details to include in one description. A more detailed list is available upon request. This is a rare opportunity to enjoy peace, privacy, comfort, and self-sufficiency in a beautiful mountain setting, while still being just down the road from the amenities and services of Questa. Bring your personal vision to this exceptional property, and bring it to life.
