Rare Abiquiu Chama Riverfront Adobe Home Just Listed by Owner A Very Private Adobe Home nestled in the Bosque along the Chama River. Situated on 4.3 acres (+/-) with over 350 feet (+/-) of low bank river frontage. The Bosque vegetation includes New Mexico Privet (Desert Olive), Russian Olive Trees, Cotton Wood Trees, Chamisa, Creosote Bushes and various other smaller verities of native vegetation. While we are on the river, the home is above the floodplain. With 33 windows, this home enjoys very bright natural lighting with private views in all directions. The original 1245 square foot (+/-) adobe home was completed in 1994 and the additional 430 square foot (+/-) attached studio/sun room was completed in 1996 for a total of 1,675 square feet (+/-) of living space. The OPEN floor plan has stately viga ceilings. While the home is currently configured as a one-bedroom home with an office, it was designed to easily be converted to a two-bedroom home by adding one wall and two doors. Using the attached studio, it could even be converted to a three bedroom if so desired. When built, the adobe bricks were laid lengthwise so the exterior walls are 22 inches thick, giving extra insulation from the exterior elements. The extra wide foundation and walls will support a second story, should a buyer desire to make a major addition to the home above the existing one-story structure. The home has three sources of heat. During the winter months, the sun room / studio provides passive solar heat off the concrete floor. The living room has a wood burning stove and a propane heater. The office also has a propane heater. The Kiva in the bedroom is built up so one lying in bed can see the fire. Also, the thick adobe walls naturally transfer the cool night time temperature inside during the day and transfers the warm day time temperature inside during the night. Talk about efficient, passive “air conditioning” that works all year round. Fans are sufficient for cooling comfort during those few days a year that are rarely in the mid 90’s. Appliances transferring with the home include, a gas (propane) range/oven, two refrigerators, Samsung washer/dryer, and electric water heater. There is a 10’x 10’ stucco exterior, wood framed well house which has a commercial grade water treatment system, a new pressure tank, a work bench, and storage cabinets. The well is a 3 acre foot well and provides more than adequate water for the home and gardening needs. The home waste is serviced by an above ground septic system. A shed extending off the well house provides protection for our riding mower/tractor, garden tools, implements and other outdoor items. Additionally, there is a 9.5’ x 7.5’ metal shed with concrete floor that will transfer with the home. The 5 horse trough vegetable gardens will remain with the home. Personal items available for purchase by the buyer include our 50” Troy Built Hydrostatic Bronco riding mower/tractor and our 20’ x 8’ shipping container.
