Property Description
Historical, intriguing and magical. This unearthed treasure in Chimayo. Imagine families pouring dirt and water into small wood frames to create an adobe (mud block). Mixing in straw to the mud of the adobe blocks to create strong durable walls. A century ago, the families would build with double adobe walls, creating a stronghold for their families. Adobe block. No chemicals. Only the earth’s ingredients itself. Next, as many families in this small community would do, they would either go to the nearby Carson National Forest and collect the lumber that would be cut into flooring or placed above ceilings in rafters known as vigas. A horse ride to nearby Santa Fe to collect glass for doors and windows and steel roofing. Now, a home build not to last one century, but many centuries! So solid inside the home, you would feel like you're in paradise. This adobe home, built in the 1900's by the local Trujillo family, well-known weavers and carvers. A local man named Cordova, came in, saw its potential and slowly and meticulously brought it back to life. Step by step. Placing a true value on a home like this is immeasurable. It is a timeless treasure blending historical charm. With daily improvements and renovations, 2,300 sq ft haven features 3 bedrooms, 1 bath, 2 living areas, and a studio. A rare chance to own a piece of New Mexico's rich heritage.Step inside to discover traditional Vigas—wood beams harvested from the nearby Carson National Forest—gracefully curved adobe walls, and natural wood floors that echo the region's storied past. A charming portal and quaint courtyard invite you to savor outdoor living. Handcrafted wooden doors and a custom gate by "Las Puertas de Santa Fe," adorned with intricate iron details, and a durable tin roof add to the home's rustic allure. The courtyard is modeled after the Santuario De Chimayo Church. Almost completed and only needing kitchen cabinets. Daily work continues. It's almost like unearthing a historic treasure.
