931 Camino Ranchitos NW

Unique North Valley Pueblo home for sale in the exclusive Rio Grande Estates, across Rio Grande Blvd from the extensive walking/biking trails at Bachechi Open Space. The expansive adobe brick home sits on a lush acre filled with mature trees & gardens, including several fruit-bearing trees, & even a little grass-to-roll-around-on. From the circular driveway, park in the shade of the mature evergreens & head to the steel gate. You are greeted by the fabulous entry courtyard, & the deck of the heated inground gunite pool on your right. Inside is as you'd expect, except with more eccentric charm: Cool foyer with exposed adobe bricks & stained glass porthole windows. An expansive entertainment room is next, with a full wet-bar, high ceilings, south-facing wall of windows for excellent passive solar gain, next to the banco, adjoining the sweet artisan-crafted Kiva centerpiece. All the bedroom walls are organically created, round & flowing--see the 3D Virtual Walking Tour! 931 Camino Ranchitos also features a large primary bedroom, separated nicely on its own side of the house, for optimum privacy. The prime also has its own private deck that watches over a dense eastside greenspace on one side, & overlooks the pool area on the other; it also enjoys a large walk-in, & another striking Kiva fireplace. Solar panels: the owned solar array produces 25 Megawatts(!) of energy, so the practically non-existent electric bill is barely mentioned. More to love: there's the large 2nd living area/den with pool courtyard access, a large hot tub; plus, there's the five-year-old roof, clerestory windows, brick floors, saltillo floor tile, a Viking Range & vent hood, & its own irrigation well. And the fab backyard? You'll just have to see it for yourselves. There's an open house this Sunday, from 2-4pm. Come see...
