7 Acres in La Madera, NM - $1,350,000

In the heart of the small community of La Madera, near Abiquiú and Ojo Caliente, this welcoming home and guesthouse are surrounded by nature on seven beautiful acres along the banks of the Ojo Caliente River. Built in 2002 and on the market for the first time, the 2,400-square-foot residence offers a living area, a den, a gym, other generous spaces accented by pine woodwork, enjoyable deck space, a woodstove, relatively new appliances, and wood, tile, and laminate flooring. The 1,700-square-foot guesthouse is completely self-sufficient and includes a living area, a kitchen, and a private entrance. Together the homes provide five bedrooms with baths. Garaging for four cars is attached, and the property also offers a sizable freestanding garage for tractors, campers, or trailers for horses and cattle. The grounds feature a fire pit, flagstone patios, walking areas, and a gentle path that meanders through the cottonwoods to a trail that leads to the river. Much of the surrounding land and mountains are under the purview of the Bureau of Land Management and will not be developed. Ownership includes enviable surface irrigation water rights.
