Situated in a high meadow, this country home on 2.74 acres in San Cristobal is simply enchanting. Over 600' of the San Cristobal Creek Acequia Madre (mother ditch) flows through the property from May to October, sending soothing water sounds into the home as it streams by. One can also enjoy this seasonal stream while sitting on the covered porch.
The 700' eastern side of the property borders the Carson National Forest, which offers hiking trails as well as shelter to an abundance of wildlife that frequent the lush meadow areas around the home. There is a flock of 10 turkeys that graze this meadow daily.
The entrance to this magical place is through a lush 13-acre riparian section with towering cottonwoods and plentiful bird life, and crossing over the San Cristobal Creek.
The very sweet adobe home was built in 1984 and features: 1380sf, an air-lock entry, a passive solar orientation overlooking a meadow and the national forest, lush irrigated land, views to the west for 60 miles, one bedroom, 1.5 updated bathrooms, a 144sf sunroom that could easily be converted to additional living space, a furnished home office, a charming kitchen, a large pantry with wonderful storage, hand carved solid wood doors, wood & tile floors, vigas & wood ceilings, a 2-story vaulted ceiling over the dining area, a fruit orchard (5 apple trees, 2 pear trees, 2 plum trees and 3 apricot trees), gravel walkways, stone retaining wall, a gutter system, a 2000 gallon water storage tank for fire suppression, a pump and hose system for irrigation, a new enlarged septic system, a carport, a tool shed, an air tight shed (for keeping garbage away from the bears) and a Tuff shed.
