64 Hondo Seco Rd, Arroyo Hondo, NM 87513

Wonderful old and new charm in a bucolic setting just 15 minutes from Taos. This two-bedroom one-bath home in Arroyo Hondo is set on one half acre and has water rights. A sparkling acequia runs through the front yard to be enjoyed while sitting in the front porch swing or banco. The inside dates back to the early 20th century and features thick adobe walls graced with wood beams, saltillo tile and wood floors. An adobe archway leads from a modern kitchen with new refrigerator and lots of storage to a bathroom with a hot water on demand system and a second bedroom. The kitchen looks out on the low-water, low-maintenance garden of red yucca, yarrow and sage. The master bedroom has a sliding door to the back yard with more outside living space, a picnic table and seating area. There are two sheds on the property; one was the original house and offers ample storage, and the other, shaded by an apricot tree, could easily house animals. Views of Wheeler Peak and the Hondo River Valley are spectacular. Walk 1/2 mile to Midtown Market and Bistro or walk a few minutes to historic Our Lady of Sorrows church. It's a quick drive to the beach at the Rio Grande near the John Dunn Bridge or to Arroyo Seco and the Taos Ski Valley. This house is ready to move into. Mostly furnished, nearly everything stays: sound system, TVs, kitchen, linens, etc. Only exclusions are personal items, art, living room leather chairs, sofa, one bar stool.
