About This Property

Every space has been thoughtfully designed to celebrate both connection and the surrounding landscape, offering inviting places to gather around the fireplace, share meals with family and friends, and soak in the ever-changing beauty of the Sandia Mountains. A standout feature is the spacious detached artist studio/workshop complete with electricity and water, creating exceptional flexibility for artists, makers, hobbyists, a home office, fitness space, or creative retreat. While the studio is not heated or cooled, its generous size and utility connections make it a rare and valuable extension of the property.Inside the main home, colorful handcrafted tile, exposed vigas, tongue-and-groove ceilings, warm brick floors, and artisan finishes celebrate the rich architectural heritage of New Mexico with understated sophistication. Refrigerated air keeps the home comfortable throughout the warm summer months, providing modern convenience while preserving its authentic charm. Generous patios invite quiet mornings with coffee as the sun rises over the mountains and unforgettable evenings beneath Placitas' famous painted skies. Whether entertaining guests, enjoying the abundant wildlife, or simply taking in the peaceful surroundings, the outdoor living spaces offer the perfect backdrop for the Northern New Mexico lifestyle. Recent improvements provide added peace of mind, including a new silicone roof with a transferable warranty (April 2026) and a one-year-old water heater. Combining distinctive craftsmanship, flexible living space, thoughtful updates, and breathtaking views, this one-of-a-kind Placitas property offers an exceptional opportunity to experience the beauty, creativity, and tranquility that make this community so special.
