Set on 12 acres in Tijeras, this very private mountain retreat offers New Mexico character, expansive vistas, and a close connection to nature - all about 15 minutes from Albuquerque and just one mile from I40. Vigas and latilla ceilings bring New Mexico warmth and texture to the interiors. A generous deck offers expansive views of the entire East Mountain area and a lower very private porch just off the kitchen gives a relaxing way to enjoy meals, the forest and nature. At night, the setting away from city lights provides dark skies and invites stargazing and astronomy. The location provides exceptional privacy. The nearest visible neighbors are almost a 1/4 mile away, with the closest neighbors 1/8 of a mile away and screened by thick pinyon/juniper, resulting in a ranch-like privacy and view.The flexible four-bedroom layout includes a spacious upstairs room, 20'x14', ideal as a large art studio, or office with 270 degree views and light. A workspace in the garage offers additional room for hobbies and projects. Under floor radiant heating coupled with mini-split air conditioning provide year round comfort.The house is on the Entranosa Water Coop, one of the most reliable sources of water in the East Mountain, piping in water rather than relying on a well or other sources of water.The 12 acres are on 3 separate lots of 5 acres with the house, 5 acres in an open field and 2 acres at the entrance. All are on Entranosa water. The vacant lots could be built upon for a relative or guest house, used for horses or just enjoyed for their beauty.Nearby trails are perfect for hiking or mountain biking. There's a beautiful path right on your own property perfect for daily walks discovering new flora and fauna. With 12 acres to call your own, this is mountain living with room to dream.
