171 SILVER

Located in the bucolic Silver Hills community, this high desert oasis backs to BLM, State lands and the Cerrillos Hills for hiking, riding and communing with nature. Thoughtfully sited on 14 acres, this one-owner sustainable custom home enjoys privacy, dark skies and endless views in park-like environs. The house features green building technology including south-facing windows, adobe interior walls, cellulose insulated 10" exterior walls, recycled and sustainable materials, solar-assist hot water, non-toxic interior materials, rainwater roof catchment, and all water from the house, recycled through a multi-flo septic system, waters the fruit tree orchard from a 5,000 gallon underground catchment tank. Sustainable, yes, but beautiful, too! Interior highlights include soft corners, hard-trowel plaster, kiva-style fireplaces, bamboo cabinets and doors, and a "Corazon" in the heart of the home. The 3rd bedroom is flex, ideal for studio, additional home office space or combo. Exterior highlights include two fish ponds connected by a running stream, patios off every room, garden area with potting shed, and horse facilities with a great tack room, hay storage, run-in sheds and pipe corrals. There's too much to list here! All this within 20 minutes of Santa Fe's shopping, dining, cultural events and medical facilities.
