Built in 1929, the property, including the casita, has been well maintained by our family for 3 generations. This hidden gem’s interior is thoughtfully decorated with an inspired mix of historic elegance and modern luxury with walls covered in original artwork. The many windows create a light and airy atmosphere. The three exterior doors lead to the two private rose garden patios for your exclusive use.
The interior is complete with Saltillo tile floors, a spacious living room with a comfy couch that has a pull out queen bed and kiva fireplace, an additional sitting room, a sizeable bedroom with a king size mattress (Stearns and Foster) with 700 thread count sheets, a surprisingly large walk-in closet, a full bath with luxury linens, and a well-equipped kitchen suitable for fine cooking.

The intricate wooden dining table seats 4 comfortably.
Setup as the ultimate retreat, the casita is equipped with high-speed Internet, Comcast cable, Apple TV, Netflix and a DVD player for both flat screen televisions setup in the living room and bedroom. There is also a stereo for CD's, AM/FM radio and MP3 players. All windows have wooden blinds and curtains for those restful times when you need it dark and cozy.
What really sets this casita apart are the two private rose garden patios for your exclusive use. The patios include a traditional portal with a covered full-size dining table to seat 6, a sunlit smaller table and chairs to seat 4, two lounge chairs, an outdoor fireplace and a BBQ grill. The patios have partial views of the beautiful Sangre de Cristo Mountains, and are perfect for lounging, grilling and dining.
Every time you drive through the gate, it feels like you are way out in the New Mexican landscape. But, oops!, forgot that bottle of wine? There's a gourmet food and wine shop literally down the street! We think you will LOVE IT and understand why New Mexico is called the Land of Enchantment when you experience the unique, rustic beauty of the high desert, its cobalt skies and extraordinary sunsets, while staying in this perfect Southwest casita.
