Property Description
Welcome to 12 Mesa Sea Road, a distinctive Northern New Mexico home on one acre in Arroyo Hondo, where authentic adobe construction, passive-solar design, and thoughtful craftsmanship come together in a truly unique high-desert setting. The 1,756-square-foot, two-story main residence was built in 2001 with real adobe block construction finished with traditional mesa mud, offering the warmth, character, and substantial feel that only genuine adobe can provide. The entire south side of the home incorporates Trombe walls, harnessing passive solar energy and adding to the property’s “detuned Earthship” character, Earthship-inspired in its design and sustainability features, yet comfortably connected to the grid. Inside, the three-bedroom, two-bathroom home features poured concrete floors, a beautiful soapstone fireplace, high-end finishes throughout, and a propane water heater. The home was re-stuccoed in 2019 and is topped with a pitched metal roof. Adding exceptional versatility is an approximately 900-square-foot frame-and-stucco studio/workshop, built in 2019 and equipped with electrical. Whether envisioned as an art studio, workshop, creative space, or additional flex space, it offers tremendous possibilities. Sustainability continues outdoors with a 5,000-gallon rainwater catchment system consisting of two 2,500-gallon tanks, collecting water from the roof gutters for landscape irrigation. A fenced and protected side yard creates an ideal space for growing vegetables and establishing a high-desert garden. Fiber-optic internet provides excellent connectivity, while a shared well, septic system, and propane serve the property. Located off B-007/Los Rios in Arroyo Hondo, the property is approximately 3 miles from the Rio Grande, John Dunn Bridge, free hot springs, and high-quality fishing, while Taos Ski Valley is approximately 30 minutes away. Santa Fe is about two hours away and Albuquerque approximately three hours away. Authentic adobe, passive-solar Trombe walls, artistic character, sustainability features, and a substantial studio/workshop make 12 Mesa Sea Road a special opportunity to experience the creative and independent spirit of Northern New Mexico. Thoughtfully priced at $549,000, offering exceptional value for a truly distinctive Northern New Mexico property.
