Enchanting hacienda style home in the desirable Sunlit Hills neighborhood in the foothills of the Sangres embodies the essence of Southwestern elegance, a serene 4 bed, 3 bath retreat on a forested 5 acres adorned with mature pinons and flourishing peach and pear trees, close proximity to the Rail Trail, hiking trails and equestrian facilities, all a mere 15 minute drive from Downtown.
Enter the property through a private walled courtyard with hot and cold spa wrapped in pine decking. Step inside and experience the warmth of this home flooded with natural light from skylights and clerestory windows, enhancing the beauty of viga and beam ceilings in the spacious great room with kiva fireplace. Hosts will love the floor plan with dual primary bedrooms, each providing tranquil spaces with their own kiva fireplace, along with two secondary bedrooms.
This passive solar bermed home is sustainably built with solar panels installed in 2022, large water cisterns, a drip irrigation system that irrigates the fruit trees and grandfather pinon tree, and drought-resistant landscaping in the front yard and courtyard beds. Those that love outdoor living and entertaining will adore the patio and large shaded portal with stylish light fixtures, a dream for dining al fresco and soaking up our legendary sunsets.
Additional updates include a gorgeous redesigned primary bedroom closet, a boiler and heating system installed in 2021, and a pro-panel roof installed in 2018. Further features include a 2 car garage, carport and storage shed. With 5 acres, including Sandia views at the top of the property, this space presents a dream for equestrians, hobbyists or artists to build a studio, casita or horse facilities.
