Cavco pre-built cedar cabin on permanent foundation that can also be moved. Plus or minus 500 sq ft.
Cathedral ceilings, lots of windows, deck, very functional kitchen and bath, easy to heat, lots of cooling cross-draft for summer. Feels spacious and has incredible views. Barn is restored 160 year old (@ 400 sq ft) log building that was used as a studio but could be guest house or office with high peaked pine ceiling, loft, great windows. Property is breathtaking on a real river (not a seasonal stream) in a small, sweet valley. Very private with few houses nearby. Feels remote but is close to a small town. Tons of wildlife. Unique situation: private land in the middle of Picuris Pueblo. Surrounding tree-lined land, mountains and meadows will remain unchanged. Two cabins, not condos.
Neighborhood Description
1/4 mile of dirt road into property. Backed by pinon and juniper hillside, fronted by sloping meadow to river. Not really a neighborhood -- a pristine wilderness home with easy access and close to a small town. Website is not letting me describe home: it is cedar, wood construction, metal roof. No chemicals have been used, pesticide free, perfume free.
