This special property is in the countryside outside of Edgewood, NM, in South Santa Fe County, which is close to the East Mountains and minutes from 1-40 and Albuquerque. Combining the complementary building techniques of classic timber framing and 2-foot thick walls of rammed earth, this exceptional property has few peers. The massive exposed timbers create soaring cathedral spaces, while the thick solid walls create solar mass and stability. The passive solar design keeps the home cozy, and when necessary, a pellet stove supplements. Even the attached carport has timber framing, and also provides space for an enclosed workshop. Situated to take advantage of panoramic views, there are two separate legal lots of 5 acres each, fully fenced. Water is provided by a local community water system. There are few covenants or deed restrictions. Horses are allowed.
This rapidly growing area with plans for expansion extending into the 2050’s is largely made up of rolling hills dotted with pinon and juniper. Most of the communities located here have extraordinary views of the Jemez, the Sangres and the Sandias.
