Versatile, private, great views and green as green can be. This property has a 400 sq ft adobe casita that is a fully functioning little home with a kitchen, 3/4 bath and a built-in bed, heated by a wood stove. There's a curved portal around the front giving lots of outdoor living space. The water heater is propane and the water comes from a private well with a solar powered pump.
The second structure is also adobe construction and it is 700 sq ft, brick floors, lots of light with French doors and two huge outdoor patios, one walled. There's an attached carport and a large storage closet accessible from the front patio. This building is one big room with kitchen facilities in one corner and a private full bathroom. The boiler for the in-floor radiant heat and the water heater are in an attached mechanical room with an exterior door.
The views are spectacular, and while you can see another home in the distance, it is extemely private and at the end of a long private driveway.
The photo voltaic array produces approximately a kilowatt of power and it's a 24 volt system.
The property is located in between Abiquiu and the village of El Rito about a mile and a half off of a paved, county road.
