Property Description

You don't recreate this. You buy it! Set along State Road 215 in El Rito, this property centers around a 1930s adobe that still reads the way it was built. Two tracts totaling approximately 1.792 acres. Step inside and it's immediate. Thick adobe walls that hold temperature and quiet. Wood floors that show time and use in a way that can't be replicated. Plaster walls, simple finishes, nothing overdone. Outside, the porches tell their own story. Wood planks with old knot holes patched using soup can lids. Not decorative. Just how it was handled at the time. It's a small detail, but it says a lot about the history of the place. The metal roof has developed a natural patina over the years, tying into a period of northern New Mexico construction where adobe walls and pitched metal roofs came together as building methods changed. The main level keeps the original structure intact. Living room with a wood stove. Bedroom and bath, kitchen, half bath, and a flex space. Upstairs adds usable space with multiple rooms that can work as bedrooms, offices, or studio use. Full bath and a central open area that functions as a second living space or workspace. Total square footage is approximately 2,945. Radiant heat was added during the renovation. The radiant heat system was updated in April 2026 with a Navien system. Private well, septic, and propane. Homes like this came out of a specific period in northern New Mexico. Architect Beverley Spears documented this type and its connection to working landscapes. They are not common, and they are not easy to replicate. Views to the west across pasture land, with sight lines toward the Jemez Mountains and Pedernal. El Rito is known for its slower pace, small farms, and its connection to the regional studio tour. Carson National Forest is nearby. This one is about materials and history. The kind you don't build today.
