Description

Introducing 23 Lavadero Rd, conveniently located in a neighborhood that offers a short commute to Los Alamos and Santa Fe, breathtaking views of the Sangre de Cristos and Jemez Mountains. Tucked behind Coyote Peak in the quaint hamlet of Tesuque is a stunning home and guest house, masterfully designed by the architect Efthimios Maniatis. One of the last rammed earth homes built with Chandler Huston in the Santa Fe area. As you walk the property, you'll be captivated by the custom garden walls constructed with stones sourced from Bishop's Lodge. Step inside, and you'll be greeted by the interior's exquisite craftsmanship, including steelwork by local metal artist Jeff Overlie. Notably, the basin sinks throughout the house, designed by Jeff, evoke the elegance of Tibetan prayer bowls. Adding to the allure, the mantles for the fireplaces were rescued from the home of the first territorial governor of New Mexico, a touch of local history into this exceptional residence. Furthermore, the home prioritizes nature-inspired living, employing materials with minimal volatile organics to ensure excellent interior air quality. The floors feature a combination of brick, strand-woven bamboo, and sustainable wool carpets. Many of the interior walls are custom diamond plaster. The main house comprises three or four bedrooms and two and a half baths, offering a comfortable and flexible living space, including a chefs kitchen. The guest house offers two bedrooms and two baths, with a strong rental history. It presents an ideal space for hosting guests, accommodating extended family, or generating rental income. Situated on 6.4 acres, this property features hiking trails perfect for dog walks that extend into the neighborhood and the National Forest. Explore the picturesque landscape, whether venturing into the Sangre de Cristos or strolling down to the Tesuque Village Market.
