Step into a one-of-a-kind, in-town sanctuary amidst 300 trees where vintage charm meets thoughtful design. Built somewhere between 1900 and 1940's (sometimes it's difficult to know with old adobes), and lovingly restored by an architect and landscape architect, this distinctive property blends historic character with inspired artistry. Alpacas in the distance (on a neighbor's property so you can enjoy them, but you don't have to take care of them) and adjacent green Pueblo land that attracts abundant bird life greet you as you drive through one of two gates into this park-like setting. Nestled in the trees for cool summer days, this property is a unique and special gem. Prepare to be transported into another world, stylishly protected by hand-built lattice privacy screens that shield you in your private oasis, yet in an ideal location allowing you to enjoy all the perks of being close to restaurants, galleries, museums.
