Fascinating home partially bermed into the hillside and built as a high performing passive solar home originally with a dirt roof (now replaced with TPO) on nearly 4 acres with good views. Despite its passive solar design and Frank Lloyd Wright looking exterior the home presents inside as a traditional Santa Fe style home: mostly adobe construction, brown stucco, load bearing vigas, brick floors, hand plastered walls, fireplaces, portals, flagstone patios and moss rock terracing. The U shaped design makes for ergonomic living and its form does follow function! The entry is bathed in light from a bank of windows overlooking the back patio and gardens. To the right is the chef's kitchen looking out towards the Sangres and accessible to the handy dining area that leads to the, guest bedroom, the expansive living room and sunroom/office. Going left off the entry is the primary suite and adjacent office or sitting room with an adjoining sunroom. Outside are gardens, walkways, the detached and heated garage/shop with a huge dog run and all around the great mountain views. Meticulously maintained with newer roof, electric panel, septic, water heater. Such an unusual but versatile country property to call home but with excellent access via Hwy 599 into Santa Fe (15 minutes), up to Los Alamos or to I25 for Albuquerque.
