New Mexico style custom passive solar home and casita designed by renowned architect Allen McNown on a 0.87 acre lot on a quiet, dead-end county road between Los Alamos and Santa Fe with expanded views of the Sangres & Jemez mountains & Black Mesa. The main home, guest house and recently completed oversized garage were built for durability and solar efficiency (strong metal roof, great insulation, adobe trombe walls and roof overhangs). The open concept great room with vaulted ceilings features a kitchen with island bar, dining and living areas and a natural rock-surrounded wood stove & fireplace and lets you stargaze from inside. 2 full bathrooms with double sinks, and oversized utility room with sink and storage. The office with balcony access which could also serve another purpose (bedroom, nursery, hobby room etc.). The exceptional master suite consists of a large bedroom, a sitting area overlooking the house, and a slate-tiled master bathroom with jacuzzi tub and shower. The casita studio features living and sleeping areas, a full kitchen with dishwasher, stove, washer/dryer hook ups and a ¾ bathroom. The home is surrounded by bricked and flagstoned walkways and established southwest plants on drip systems. The breezeway and decks provide opportunities for outside entertaining. A 20 x 24” garage was completed in 2022. This is country living at its best – serene, natural, spacious, peaceful and only a 20-minute drive to Los Alamos or Santa Fe. Updates are too many to list
