Discover the charm and character of this unique two-story Northern New Mexico home at 4 El Paraiso Drive. Originally built in the 1930s–40s and thoughtfully expanded and remodeled through the years, this 1,775 sq. ft. residence blends timeless character with functional living spaces. Located 12 minutes from Las Vegas, and 15 minutes from I-25, in the scenic and historic community of Montezuma, the property sits on a hillside at the mouth of the Gallinas Canyon, which is an easy walk to the Montezuma Hot Srpings and the United World College. The home features 2 bedrooms, 1.5 bathrooms, and a versatile studio/office space, offering flexibility for remote work, creative pursuits, or additional guest accommodations. Construction includes a solid concrete and cinder block first floor with a frame-built second level, all finished with classic stucco exterior appeal. Inside, enjoy comfortable living areas with mostly carpeted flooring, complemented by vinyl flooring in the kitchen, laundry, and bathrooms. Heating is provided through electric baseboard and wall heaters, while the durable pro-panel metal roof adds long-term value and low-maintenance peace of mind. The property also includes a very oversized one-car garage, providing excellent space for parking, storage, or workshop use. A mostly slab-on-grade foundation, along with a small crawl space housing the water pressure pump, supports this distinctive home. Rich in history and character, this property offers a rare opportunity to enjoy a home with decades of thoughtful evolution and New Mexico charm. Property contiguous with two other individually listed residential properties and all could be purchased together: 2 El Paraiso Drive (Guesthouse or GH), 4 El Paraiso Drive (Uphill House or UHH), 11 St. Joseph Drive (Casa Vieja or CV). All titles are good and free and clear of any encumbrances, with all taxes current.
