Homesteaders paradise! Very sweet one bedroom straw bale house on 8 acres with 4.2 acres of water rights in a beautiful setting. This home has original Marvin windows along with a new Pella picture window and two Pella exterior doors. The kitchen has new cabinets and countertops. The sunny yellow bathroom has a clawfoot tub, a new toilet and a beautiful custom-carved wood door. There is a Vermont casting wood stove in the downstairs living/kitchen area and newly installed propane heaters both downstairs and upstairs. There is a latilla fence surrounding the property and a TuffShed for storage. Color coat of exterior plaster to be completed in early September. This property is located in Cerro, 30 miles north of Taos and just 3 miles north of the Rio Grande del Norte National Monument Wild and Scenic Rivers area- some of the best fishing, hiking, camping in Northern New Mexico. This house was built with three-string straw bales, as opposed to two-string bales which means better R value and efficiency. The thick walls and deep window sills give the spaces a feeling of warmth. Bring your horses, your goats, your chickens and your dreams and live a life of bucolic bliss in between the Rio Grande River and the Sangre de Christos Mountains- what more could you ask for?
