Property Description

Casa con Vista a private sanctuary with sweeping mountain views. Perched atop the serene La Cuchilla mesa, this peaceful retreat offers breathtaking vistas of the Pedernal, Kitchen Mesa at Ghost Ranch, and the surrounding mountains and mesas. Designed in harmony with its natural setting, this contemporary residence invites you to experience the beauty of New Mexico in every direction — from glowing sandstone cliffs at sunrise and sunset to crystal-clear night skies adorned with countless stars. Each season transforms the landscape — golden cottonwoods lining the Rio Puerco in autumn, snow-capped peaks in winter, gentle spring rains, and vibrant wildflowers in summer. Wildlife frequents the property, including deer, elk, bobcats, ravens, red-tailed hawks, piñon jays, and an array of migratory birds. This immaculate two-bedroom, two-bath home, designed and built by award-winning Solterra Design Build, is a high-performance, off-the-grid home that combines modern comfort with environmental mindfulness. Thoughtfully positioned to maximize views and light, the home features ICF construction, a 48-panel photovoltaic solar array with Outback inverter, three charge controllers, and a Kohler propane backup generator. Five 4’x8’ thermal panels provide hot water and in-floor radiant heating. Additional systems include a whole-house reverse osmosis filtration system, two 2,500-gallon cisterns, recirculating hot water pump, 300-gallon sprinkler system, and drip irrigation for landscaped and garden areas. Beyond the main residence, a hand-crafted Teahouse and ramada offer serene spaces for relaxation and meditation. A labyrinth and large viewing portal provide peaceful settings for reflection while taking in the sweeping landscape.
