Historic Tesuque property with water rights, a New Mexico dream! Experience what used to be the community hub of Tesuque Village, home to the post office, market, small cottage motel, service station and residence of the postmistress and proprietor.
All businesses have long since relocated. The main structure was converted into a private home and the motel into a casita with 2 independent guest apartments, all on 2 lots totaling 1.8 acres. The 3 bedroom, 2 bath double adobe main home features 2 kiva fireplaces in the main living room with a third stone fireplace in the primary bedroom. Traditional viga and cove ceilings decorate the main shared living spaces, with beam and plank ceilings in the halls, bedrooms, bath and sitting rooms. Built-in shelving and multiple closets offer ample storage. The charm continues with custom cabinetry and tin detailing in the kitchen. Also included are unique details such as a dugout for mechanics beneath the floor of the garage, once the Sinclair Service Station, and an outdoor bar with built-in grill.
The guest apartments were previously the Modern Cottage Court Motel, a picturesque stone structure. The first apartment has potential for 2 bedrooms or a bedroom and flex space, 1 bath, a full kitchen, 2 fireplaces, an enclosed parking space, and beautiful stonework, all local river rock. The second is a charming studio with a kitchenette and fireplace.
The home’s character is amplified by the incredible gardens, tree canopy and mature fruit trees. The separate lot is a conservation easement offering additional space to enjoy.
Modern updates include forced air heating, a tankless water heater, and an upgraded laundry room in the main house, and a newer roof on the guest house and garage. This special property includes 3 wells and surface water acequia rights.
